Wait, what, the pressure graph didn’t always work like that from the beginning? What the hell, Wacom!
tl;dw - adjusting soft-firm tip feel only changes the curve of force input to pressure output - you always have to press full force to get full pressure out. Hence my aching hand/wrist some days, no matter where “feel” is set. There’s a third party application to fix it though. Win - Mac.
