I'm using Intuos4 and I would like to use the touch-ring on the tablet to increase/decrease brush size.
The problem is that the ring, like the mouse wheel, can increase/decrease the brush size by very little increments. this makes it quite unusable as it takes long time to alter the brush size with it. I tried to work around it by creating a custom button with 9 commands of increase one after the other and another button with 9 commands to decrease. and then I assign shortcuts to those buttons, and then I assign the tablet ring to those shortcuts. But when I then use it, it seems to ignore the new shortcuts, and behaves exactly as before - little increments.

To simplify the problem: anyone has any idea how to make the mouse wheel* increase/decrease the brush size in large increments?
*once the mouse wheel can do so, so would the ring on the tablet.

in the wacom software you can adjust the touch ring speed, is this not enough?

I am doing that with the jog wheel of the Contour Shuttle Pro.
Masterchief gave us a little description of how it works in this thread.
