This is a mix of some guides I followed to successfully remove that annoying lag, along with that little circle that looks like something rippled on the screen when I touch the pen to the tablet.
Driver version is 5.3.2, and my system is Windows 64 Home.
- Apply (merge) the file bamboo-fix.reg to the registry.
- In Control Panel for "Pen and Touch" Press and Hold Right Click is checked and enabled. Set the speed to the Longest
possible setting and the duration to short. If you disable press and hold you will get lag dragging and scrolling,
selecting text, etc. (I don't know if it varies for each computer config or for each version of windows, as this worked fine on Win7)
- In the Tablet Properties, under options, I set side switch mode set to hover click.
Restart the system, and voilà (I hope)!
