In Mouse mode, you use your pen like a traditional mouse or a laptop's trackpad.
Understanding Mouse Mode
Using Mouse mode fundamentally changes how your pen interacts with your device's screen. Unlike pen mode, where the cursor maps directly to the pen's absolute position on the tablet, Mouse mode operates differently.
Key Characteristics of Mouse Mode
Based on the provided information, the primary way you use Mouse mode involves specific actions and cursor behavior:
- Pen Usage: In Mouse mode, you use the pen like a mouse. This means you move the pen over the tablet surface to control the cursor's relative movement on the screen.
- Cursor Behavior: The cursor's position is relative. The cursor stays on the point that you left it when you pick up your pen. When you put the pen down again and move it, the cursor starts moving from its last position, similar to how a mouse works.
- Interaction Style: You interact with your device like you interact with a mousepad or trackpad. You lift and reposition the pen as needed to navigate across the screen, rather than the tablet surface representing the entire screen area directly.
Think of it like using your tablet surface as a portable trackpad. You glide the pen to move the cursor, and the cursor only moves when the pen is in proximity to the surface and being glided. Lifting the pen allows you to reposition your hand without the cursor moving on the screen.
