You can optionally elect to create a "long press" to activate your Touch Keys. This can help you avoid unintentional swipes or brushes of the Touch Keys. To set the Touch Keys to only activate with a 1-second ("long") press:

  1. Open Wacom Tablet Properties
  2. Select your device in the Devices row.
  3. Click the Options... button at the bottom of the screen.
  4. Select Use long press for Cintiq Pro Touch Keys.
