To make a long story short, I can use the stylus just fine on my Thinkpad X201 tablet, except that no matter which driver I install, whether it be the Lenovo driver or the Wacom Penabled driver, I cannot get pressure sensitivity to work on Windows 7. I had it working ONCE before, and I cannot remember how I managed to do it. One of the main reasons I bought this thing was so that I could have a device with a screen I could draw on, but as of right now it is almost useless for that due to the lack of pressure sensitivity. Any advice? 🤣

Also, I think Vogons could REALLY use a forum for discussing newer hardware. I know the focus here is mainly on old games and systems, but I know people here like discussing modern stuff too. 😉

You might find assistance with this issue over on the Thinkpads forums e.g. http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=43 … ressure#p699808

That thread relates to an X200, but maybe it gives leads on the X201's behaviour. Hope it helps!

Welp, adding to my Thinkpad woes I just dropped the stupid thing while I had the screen flipped over, and I ended up shattering some of the glass on it. The LCD underneath is fine, but I can imagine the cracks in the screen are going to be annoying to deal with once I start drawing.

EDIT: Also, I'm starting to figure that it may have something to do with the Chinese knockoff digitizer pen I'm using, since it seems the pen itself is what detects pressure.

It's my pen. The glass itself is nothing special.

First rule is: always point back to OEM.
At least with my Trust tablet with UC-logic digitizer it was a night and day difference.

Said this, you need special programs (like Krita, Sankoré) for pressure sensitivity, paint is not going to make your day 🤣

I should be getting an OEM digitizer pen in the mail soon. I still want to replace the glass though. I have no idea how I'm gonna afford it. 😵
