    Hi guys

    I have an Acer Tabloid win 10. I put into the taskbar it the On-Screen Keyboard OSKb. I have also the Touch-Screen KeyBoard TSKb that is default in the TaskBar.

    The TSKb works perfectly but still learning how to fully resize. Thus i tried out the OSKb. but after a while it got out of control. It open to cover the whole screen, looking really ODD. Any idea how to control it. I fail to find anything in the Settings to help me out.

    Please advise.

    If you are using the W10 OSKB, (Start > Windows Ease of Access > On Screen Keyboard > ) when you open it you can move it by using your mouse with left click on top white border. Hover your mouse on the top or bottom outer border and an enlarge or decrease double ended arrow appears. You can now decrease the overall size or increase it to suit.

    Friend i think the tabloid don't have a mouse. Moreover pressing my finger on the white border appears to do what you say. What i want is to fix it so that when it pops up it look normally good looking and not a mess.

    Have you any more ideas, i am exhausted with the tiny screen with my huge fingers.on the Acer Aconia Tab 10.

    By the way have you any experience on pen or how to increase the capacitance on my fingers so it we improve sensitivity of touch? Can we improvise & create our own pointing device? I just google and found using any metalized anti-static sheet will do the trick. I am goign to try it. Appreciate!

    I would suggest a Stylus pen recommended for your Tablet. I'm using my Lenovo TAB3 7 Android 5.0 to write this reply and sometimes I get frustrated because my finger seems too big to do exactly what I want. I find that quick little taps work best and with Android you can adjust the sensitivity of your touch. Is your Acer Iconia Tab 10? What is the model number?

    ;) same boat. I actually tried making one pen with a anti static bag for hard disk. It do work with swap but not sensitive enough especially if movement is too slow. Model unknown right now
    because it is not with me.

    I have resorted to use only the touch screen keyboard until i find the fix.

    Kind Regards.

    You need to get the right type of Stylus pen for your Tablet as the screen type used by the manufacturer will play a part in the operation. Nice to see you use DIY (static bag) but an old lead pencil with a rubber (eraser) tip is worth a try.

    I did forget to mention that cleaning the screen helps immensely. Have a look and see if you have thousands of finger marks over the screen. We leave body greases and oils on the Touch screens which can play havoc with operation. I use optical lens cleaner (supplied by my optician) and micro clean cloth. Paper tissues can scratch some lens materials.
