There is **NO** fix for this. All other drivers that rely on VMulti to send input are also affected without exception. This includes the original TabletDriver (Hawku, Devocub, etc.), XP-Pen, Huion, Gaomon, Veikk, etc.

As a workaround, do not use "Left Click" as your binding to "Fire" action. Instead, use an unused keyboard key then go to OpenTabletDriver and change your "Left Click" binding to that unused keyboard key.

## Art Programs

Use [Windows Ink](https://github.com/X9VoiD/VoiDPlugins/wiki/WindowsInk) plugin to enable pressure support.
