Open the Control Panels and you can customize and change settings on the UltraPen such as tip pressure, eraser and other settings. The best way to find out what tip pressure to use is by experimentation with the full range of different pressures. I found that a light click pressure gave me a wider range of pressure values and by setting the pressure to the lowest setting, the pen worked better in pressure-sensitive applications. Wacom's UltraPen has one switch only. You can easily set the switch to automatically double click, when pressed.
Words are fun to select by using the switch to double click.
Overall, Wacom's ArtPad II is the best replacement for the mouse and mouse pad yet. The pressure-sensitive UltraPen wasn't the most responsive stylus I've used, but that could probably be remedied by buying an optional UltraPen with more specific features. Although the ArtPad II doesn't offer any bells and whistles, it remains a popular choice among family users who want a basic, durable digitizing tablet at a good price.
