Pressure sensitivity problem on Gaomon PD156 PRO

Type of device* : just a regular laptop (I dont know if it is 2 in 1)
Brand and version of the device: HP victus laptop
System** : window 11

* graphics tablet/display tablet/2-in-1 laptop/Android tablet
** Windows/Linux/Mac/Android, + version (you’ll find it in Help -> Show system information for bug reports)


Description of the issue (you can include screenshots): I have seen a post with this question before, and have tried the things that people suggest on the post however for some reason it still does not work for me or the thing I could not understand the thing that people are instructing me to do. Im using a Gaomon Tablet one Window 11, and Krita 5.02. As the title suggests, my pen pressure sensitivity suddenly stop working, it is not there is no pressure it is just every stroke is the same. I saw someone saying that this is probably the program viewing my pen as a mouse and not a stylus so pressure sensitivity does not registed
I have a video here:

I have also already tried reseting Krita Configuration:

please help me, if people could provide visual demonstration I would also appreciate that alot

I’m unable to watch the video (screen says video will be ready soon but the spinner just continues to spin).

There was a Windows update last week for for 10, not sure if 11 also got one. That can break drivers for some Windows users. You can try uninstalling and resinstalling your Gaoman drivers (be sure to follow the steps they call for, for example, is the tablet to be plugged in during installation or only after, etc.).

If that doesn’t help, change the Tablet Input API, then restart Krita (won’t take effect until you restart). It can be found on the screenshot you posted above).

Yeah, I’ll try that, but the video is just litterally me drawing a line with a pen and a mouse which resulted in the 2 same lines,
Thanks bro

I already updated it, uninstalled and reinstalled the drive, changed the table input API but what does restarting Krita means ?

Restarting Krita means that after you make the Input API change, you close the configuration window and then close down Krita (File, Quit). Then you open Krita to make the Input API change take effect. Just changing it without quitting and restarting/opening Krita does not implement the change.

Continuing the discussion from Pressure sensitivity problem on Gaomon PD156 PRO:

Yes I also did that too
and also I got these stats on my tablet tester (arent they supposed to be stylus pen and not mouse ?)

As long as Krita’s tablet tester displays “Mouse Move” for you, the input API does not fit.

So it’s about the old story with WinTab and WindowsInk, this setting must match with Tablet and Krita. On page 12 of the English Manual of your Gaomon PD156 PRO, under point 3.4, in the Stylus settings, you will see the checkbox “Enable Windows Ink” at the bottom left of the image of the driver software, please deactivate it and take over the setting by clicking on the buttons “Apply” and “OK” in your driver software.
If it is not the case right now, in Krita you have to select the setting ‘‘WinTab’’ via ‘‘Settings’’ >> ‘‘Configure Krita’’ >> ‘‘Tablet Settings’’ and then confirm with OK, and then restart Krita. Now Krita and your Tablet use the same API and can communicate together, “speak the same language”.

In addition, it will probably be necessary to operate the tablet in administrator mode, just like most HUION tablets because GAOMON is a subsidiary of HUION and will be no different.
You turn on the administrator mode via the “Administrator privileges” button at the bottom of the driver window, and then you have to confirm the security queries of Windows. You have to repeat this every time you restart your PC, as Windows usually does not remember this setting.
