You don't switch, you just use they pen or your finger whichever you prefer.

The screen detects both so you can use the pen the touch the screen and both would work. Note you have to calibrate the pen at the angle you plan to use the device, it's a bit weird.

Here' what I found on online helpIf you have a touchscreen, touch input is on by default and can't be turned off. If you expect your laptop or monitor to respond to touch and it doesn't, check the manufacture's website to make sure it supports touch and that you have the correct drivers installed.Check for urself: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/touch-pen-settings-faq

You can use a pen or stylus with it but it does not have sensitivity settings like a pad would. If your looking to be able to get different brush strokes with pressure input this will not do that.

I lost the original pen. I later bought a Fujitsu t-5000 with two buttons and loaded the Wacom latest feel driver for Surface Pro 2. Yes, you can hoover over the screen and click the button and it would do a right click if you program one of them to do so.

Sorry, I turned off all the gimmicky gesture features as I didn't find them very useful at all, so I have no idea. The pen is all I use to navigate as it also keep the screen clean.

You see these types of active pens are only effective with devices that are integrated specifically with n-trig technology, such as my sony Vaio and surface pro 3. The reason for this being the case is that the signals that they emit can only be picked up by certain built-in digitizers. In the absence of this digitizer and controller the laptop will simply think that a foreign non-interactive is present, and will not register the touch. Best case scenario you'll have an active pen that you can use as an overpriced stylus

its wacom technology. if lenovo thinkpad has a digitizer on it and supports wacom technology, then yes.i cannot give u a direct 100% answer bcuz i dun own thinkpad. i bought this for my samsung tablet

the only programmable thing I have been able to do with it is, use a s-pen gesturing program to turn off the touch screen ( so only pen works ). as far as I know there is no way to program it on its own. it would be up to the art program you sue to let you apply a setting.

Charles, I simply point to what I need on the tablet using my finger. While I have a laptop with a wireless mouse, I don't worry about this functionality with the Lenovo Tablet.

The screen I believe is a active touch screen which requires a active acer pen to use or you could of course use your fingers to control the touch screen, for more information you could look here. http://www.eweek.com/small-business/acer-aspire-r7-touchscreen-notebook-gets-intel-chips-active-pen.html

you can use mouse or pen to navigate windows or any cad or paint program, I use jfdraw and vectorengineer it takes a little time to get the hang of it like touch pen to pad is like a left click and going to the corner of the pad to move the mouse to a corner trips me up a little ect...

It's a pen slate. The pen is the input tool. This model isn't touch, (finger) , capable. It has usb ports so you can attach a usb mouse and key board if you want. There is a dock available for this slate as well as a keyboard that uses the motion computing proprietary connection on it's bottom side. There is a version of this slate that is both write and touch but this one isn't that model.

Lenovo tech support claims that if the Tablet 2 doesn't come with a pen, it cannot be configured to work with one. Buyer beware!http://www.lenovo.com/psref/pdf/tabook.pdf* The models without Tablet Pen can not support pen input function via ThinkPad Tablet 2 Digitizer Pen (0A33899)

I have no idea, the day before the pen arrived, my tablet crashed, so now I have the pen and no tablet. Sorry I could not be of any help.

Not sure in Tablet mode, as the drive needs 2 usb ports to operate ideally and the Helix only has 1 USB 2.0 on the tablet module, but should work fine when docked in the keyboard dock which has 2 USB 3.0 ports, I have had no problems using it with my Thinkpad Yoga.
