"touch" indicates the tablet's ability to respond to finger touching similar to the way an ipad works. This includes "gesture" style shortcuts as shown in this youtube video: [link]
The touch features can be disabled if they interfere with your stylus use.
But when ordering my intuos5 pen graphics tablet in the description the exactly same 'touch' feature was stated ... O.O Thats why Im really confused :c
I mean, except for the price?
