I find it exceedingly difficult to hit the U on the on-screen keyboard on my Surface Pro 2 running Windows 8.1. Here are the specific symptoms:

  • very carefully tapping directly over the on-screen U usually results in a "y" character
  • compensating by tapping slightly further to the right on the screen usually result in an "i" character
  • starting over the Y and successively tapping my way over to the P a constant 1/4 of a key width at a a time yields this string: "yyyyyyyyiiiooooppppp" -- note that u was not pressed once and Y is much wider than the others.

Things I've tried with no noticeable difference:

  • calibrating both pen and touch
  • turning tablet 180 degrees

Is there something I can do to make my on-screen U usable?

Update the Wacom Enhanced Tablet Driver

Upgrading to the Wacom-distributed driver for Surface Pro 2 "Enhanced Tablet Driver 7.2.1-24" seems to have fixed this problem. That drivers seems to work better than whatever driver was coming through the automatic Windows Updates.
