tv oekaki broken?

[Sinistral]

Finally got around to trying this out after getting it a few months ago, but having a few problems. Does anyone know how accurate this is supposed to be? with mine i have to lean quite hard on the pen and somtimes while writing the cursor will suddenly move to the other side of the screen without reason.

I don't know about the other side thing, but I can confirm that using the Terebi Oekaki is super painful.

"Considering the board as a child product released in 1985, one could guess that the technology used is a limiting factor. Using a plastic pen on a glass is unusual, and pen pressure is not always properly detected. Thus, tracing a full shape becomes a challenge and there's always fear of damaging the glass"

I barely used it myself because it was really tedious.

Ah thanks for clearing that up, I guess It operated like i expected it to really. Despite its flaws its still a very interesting piece of kit.

I found it easier to use my fingernail than the stylus.

and the background color being identical to any one of the drawing colors can mess you up too.

Still, I found it to be fun for about half an hour or so.
