Help SonanrPen works on your Windows device

SonarPen driver works immediately after calibration. However, here are a few tricks to make the SonarPen works with your app and closer to your habit on a Windows device

Make drawing apps Windows INK compatible

SonarPen is compatible with the latest Windows INK stylus standard which works with almost all the drawing / note-taking apps released after 2017. However, some apps might still setup to use the older WinTab stylus standard by default and it needs to configure to use Windows INK stylus.

The setting is different from app to app, but is usually located in the Preferences, Settings or Options menu. Here are the steps to enable Windows INK in Krita, Clip Studio Paint, PaintTool SAI V2 and Rebelle 6

Customize button and pressure behavior with Settings menu

SonarPen Button can be setup as:

  • Undo (default setting) - Just like Ctrl-Z. Works in all apps.
  • Barrel Button - It triggers the default stylus button function chosen by the app. See below for more detail.
  • Toggle between drawing mode and finger gesture mode - It changes the two modes without using the table tapping gesture. See below for more detail.

Pressure Sensitive Level, to choose between Low, to Medium and High. It sets how much pressure is required to change the width of a stroke

Toggle between Drawing and Finger gesture mode with table tapping gesture

When SonarPen in drawing mode, palm rejection is naturally enabled. Zoom, rotate or pan with finger gesture is not functioning in this mode. To enable finger gesture on the touch screen, just tap SonarPen on the table and hold for 1 second. Tap again to re-enable SonarPen drawing mode.
