Disable pressure support for puck-type pointing devices

Post by domi »

Hello

When looking in the preferences I came along this option:

Disable pressure support for puck-type pointing devices

Can someone please explain to me what that means in detail if I have it checked or un-checked ?

A puck is similar to a mouse, it's this thing you drag across a tablet pad. But it has a window with cross hairs to help you pinpoint exact areas on the screen. I honestly don't know of anyone who uses or makes these anymore. Not saying they don't exist. Just haven't seen one in a very long time.

Further to what LeviFiction said, it should make know difference whether or not you leave it checked or unchecked given that you are likely just using a mouse with PSP.
