Figma Draw Brush Tool: Pressure Sensitivity Suddenly Stopped Working?

Update: unfortunately, I was not able to get a conclusive report on what’s going happening on my end. However, I’d request that everyone write into our support team to report how the pressure sensitivity is working (or not working appropriately) on your end.

Please do the following if you have not yet:

• Grab a copy of your console logs: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/19818634038935-Export-console-logs
• Fill out this form, and attach a copy of the logs.
• If there is a specific file you notice that seems to be noticeably worse, please share edit access to that file wit support-share@figma.com, and include the direct link to it. This is the specific support channel for files, and you won’t be charged. If you are unable to, or if it’s not really file- specific, no worries on doing that.

Let me know when any of you have been able to do that, and I’ll try to escalate the case for further assistance.

Thank you!

Well, since my last reply here, pressure sensitivity Just Works™ for me now.
I wonder if others are also seeing the same thing.

I would say though, that the pressure curve is not good. It seems it’s tuned to be overly sensitive, causing the stroke to become thicker sooner than I would expect. In normal usage, the strokes all look the same. On the right side, I went from barely touching the screen, to full pressure.

I suppose a pressure curve customisation setting is the next thing Figma could consider adding.

Hi, try using another browser 😇

My issue was that I was working on a laptop, with the same tablet, and when i switched to the same browser on PC, is stopped working. I thought that was weird, so I checked other browsers - it works again!

The issue for me was to enable Windows Ink in the tablet software! I forgot I turned it off for this browser, because I was doing more gestures than drawing. Not perfect, but hey, at least it works.
