Question

ArtDock like custom onscreen keyboard for artists and palm rejection.

Anonymous

Hi there.

I love my Surface Pro, but I think it still miss a couple of things to be a great device for artists: the ability to create custom onscreen keyboards, to be able to store the most used shortcut buttons on a touch GUI.

Currently the only available solution is the ArtDock for SurfacePro, but it has some problems:

Basically the main problem is that, because of palm rejection, this interface doesn't work when using a pen with the hand laying on the screen.

It would be great if Microsoft would come up with the ability to create your own touch onscreen buttons, which still work when the palm of your hand is on the screen.

Thank you.

Agreed! I second this!

Microsoft needs to release a customizable dock for program shortcuts/hotkeys. Just like the Art Doc 2, but more refined. Artists are flocking to the Surface. Also, get a second button on that pen! 3D artists need 2 buttons on the pen!

Surface Pro is growing in the artists community. Don't lose them! Listen to them. People are buying Surface Pro over Wacom's Companion, even though the Companion has far superior artist enabled features, and pen fluidity. Microsoft can capture the entire artist marketshare. A place Apple now holds, for what reason I still don't understand, as Apple hardware is a year behind and 2x as expensive as a good Windows 8.1 workstation.

Go after it Microsoft. Now!
