The Surface Pro 3’s pen is arguably a defining feature, but you haven’t had official control over it so far. As of now, though, you finally get some say over the stylus’ behavior. Microsoft has posted a Surface Hub app that lets you customize both the pen’s pressure sensitivity and its top button. Right now, the software isn’t likely to please demanding artists and note-takers as you don’t have fine-grained sensitivity tuning, you can’t launch any app you like, and the side buttons are strictly off-limits.

Microsoft has released a Surface Hub app this weekend to improve the functionality of the stylus on the Surface Pro 3. After updating the pen firmware earlier this week, Microsoft’s Surface Hub brings two customization options that Surface Pro 3 owners have been asking for: custom pressure sensitivity and button control. The pen pressure sensitivity control is rather basic in the app, but the uniform line will satisfy those who feel the pen requires too much register. However, Surface Pro 3 owners who want lower pressure sensitivity may feel disappointed with the basic settings, as Surface Pro Artist notes that the resulting curve isn’t shallow enough. For most Surface Pro 3 users these basic settings should be enough to give you a little extra flexibility for inking apps like Fresh Paint.
