Using Wacom Tablets with OpenKneeboard
Wacom tablets can either be used with Wacom’s drivers, or with OpenTabletDriver.
Using Wacom’s drivers
You need to enable the tablet by:
- Open OpenKneeboard’s settings page (bottom left)
- Go to the input settings page
- Set WinTab mode to ‘standard’
For earlier versions, the tablet is always enabled.
It’s easiest to set all of these settings to ‘All applications’; otherwise (for example, if you use your drawing tablet for drawing :p) you’ll need to apply these settings both to the OpenKneeboard app, and to every game you want to use the tablet with.

If you also want to use the on-tablet ‘Express Keys’ to change page/tabs, you’ll also need these settings:
You can then assign the buttons to actions in Edit -> Settings in the app:
