But no amount of hardware gets rid of the base level of input lag present in both apps. However, laptops and entry-level desktops might just be too laggy for drawing and writing, though. If you’ve got a high-end rig, you’ll have a very usable experience. Real-life performance, though, is strongly dependent on your host system’s configuration. The wired USB setup is a huge step up, performance-wise from remote desktop solutions like Splashtop. Both Duet and Eas圜anvas support tilt and pressure sensitivity, together with palm recognition. The bottom line here is that both apps deliver comparable performance. If lag weren’t such a problem, this would allow for a really good approximation of a real drawing or writing experience. For stylus owners, pressure and tilt sensitivity are equally present in both Eas圜anvas and Duet. This was especially so considering the iPad Pro’s bigger 10.5 inch display. While I don’t own a capacitive stylus, I found that the writing experience was reasonable, even with finger touch. I’ve used stylus-based devices for quite some time. Some amount of input lag is always presentĪs a writing and drawing tools, both Duet and Eas圜anvas offered comparable performance. It’s always been a bit of an inconvenience getting these onto a computer and I’ve lost some work that way. I often handwrite first drafts and stray thoughts. I can’t draw much apart from simple stick figures. Both Duet and Eas圜anvas delivered what I’d consider usable performance for drawing and writing. Small short strokes are always boiled down to very reduced length lines with few points.Paired with the premium Ryzen-based system, results were comparable between the two. And still it works fine in Photoshop but is not acceptable in Blender. It feels like it's a bit better, but still not a working solution. Now I also tried the app Duet on my PC with a AMD Vega 56. It looks like a very simplified version of my intended stroke. So if I make fast long strokes across the screen, it either draws nothing or only a short straight line with only a start and end (wich btw are also not accurate). It's very laggy and the biggest issue is that it doesn't recognize all the 'points' made by the pen. But it works and gets the intended strokes onto the canvas. This solution has a noticable latency in general and is as of right now no substitution for a 'real' pen display. I connected my iPad Pro to my macBook to use it as a pen display for Grease Pencil (I also tried scultping, same issue).
