    Open source, cross-platform, user-mode tablet driver

    The other option you have is downloading OpenTabletDriver and setting a pen pressure deadzone to ignore the false pressure reports your pen is outputting. Wacom drivers don't let you do this because they would rather you just buy a new pen, but it is a feature in OTD that should let you use your pen as normal until you replace it. OTD takes a little bit more work to set up and maintain compared to Wacom drivers, but I found the benefits to greatly outweigh this for my own uses. In the long-term though, you definitely want to replace that pen since the false pressure issue usually only gets worse with time.

  • VoiDPlugins

    A collection of plugins for OpenTabletDriver

    You'll also need to install windowsink mode if you are on windows and want to use pen pressure. The plugin should be under plugins>plugin manager, and there are instructions linked on the plugin page or here. Takes a little bit to set up properly, but their Discord server that is linked on the Github page tends to be pretty helpful with stuff.
