Using multiple tablet drivers on the same computer

Overview

I DO NOT recommend installing multiple tablet drivers simultaneously on a single computer.

Microsoft Windows

Tablet drivers from different brands interfere with each other.

In theory if your pen-aware applications use Windows Ink for their tablet API, then there will be no interference.

In practice, even when apps have been correctly configured, have encountered problems on Windows when multiple tablet drivers are installed from different brands.

Apple MacOS

My experience has been good, I have several MacOS computers with multiple tablet drivers installed simultaneously (Wacom, Huion, XP-Pen, and Xencelabs). I have had no problems.

However, I have some people have reported that they have encountered issues when different tablet drivers are installed.

So, even for MacOS I don't recommend it, even though I personally have had a good experience.
