Simulated Hover and Click Pressure Threshold

Slate works with all Apple Pencils. On newer iPad Pros, Slate supports hover. On older iPads, Slate uses Simulated Hover.

How Simulated Hover Works

• Move the cursor: Lightly drag your Apple Pencil across your iPad screen.
• Click: Tap the screen with your Apple Pencil.

Adjusting Click Pressure Threshold

Click Pressure Threshold controls how much pressure is needed to click with your Apple Pencil.

Firm pressure requires a harder press to click.
Soft pressure needs just a light touch to click.

To adjust the pressure threshold:

1. Open the Slate sidebar.
2. Select Pencil Settings.
3. Use the slider to set the pressure you prefer.
