New owner of Manta + Heart of Metal Pen 2.

When i started writing on the device, I noticed sometimes it would not record the pen strokes.

I did some testing by gently running the tip of the pen over the screen, without applying any pressure but gently gliding, and noticed the screen doesn’t record the strokes consistently.

Applying a slight amount of pressure (mostly the pressure the weight of the pen itself applies) the device records the strokes.

Is this the intended/normal behaviour?

For context, I am used to writing with fountain pens, and I have a very light hand. I am used to the traditional medium where once the tip of the pen touches the page, even without applying pressure, the ink transfer onto it, and I thought I’d experience a similar behaviour on the Manta. Is it not how it is supposed to work?
