Does Multiplicity transmit drawing tablet pressure to Secondary PC?

from Stardock Forums

Using a Wacom Intuos 4 (which works fine when directly attached to the second PC) through KVM mode doesn't seem to transmit the pen pressure.  Everything seems set up fine (works without Multiplicity).

1) Does Multiplicity (KVM Pro) actually transmit drawing tablet pressure to the Secondary?

2) If so, what things could possibly be preventing all the software on the Secondary PC from receiving it (or what could be blocking the pressure data before it even arrives)?

3) What things can I try?

I really need to resolve this, as much of my 'work' software is being hindered by Multiplity currently (No pressure capability in drawing/painting programs, chaotic drag response in 3D programs).

Win7 Premium (Primary) and Win7 Pro (Secondary), Multiplicity KVM Pro, Wacom Intuos 4 (on Primary)

Landon,

Please do not create duplicate threads as you asked this question in another one.

To be honest, I do not know if a tablet pressure will be observed because we have never tested it nor might I easily be able to.  If I were forced to guess I would say no as MP was only designed to simulate mouse and keyboard actions from a Primary to a Secondary.  I would not think that MP would know (or observe) any 'pressure' data being sent to the Secondary. 

What I would suggest is that you have the tablet software installed, and configured the same, on each PC - at least as a test.

That said, I will see if I can find any in the game department that can help me confirm it but I can't make any promises.
