2 years ago I bought a tablet (Huion HS611) for playing Osu! but I quickly found out that I suck at it. Drawing is not my thing either, so it was mostly unused.
But then recently my Microsoft Sculpt Mouse broke (single click made double clicks). I have a spare mouse which is very “un-ergonomic”. So I needed another replacement, and I tested again the tablet, but this time as a mouse-replacement.
And it’s better than I expected!
- Scrolling is very easy (like on a phone).
- Single-click is super-easy although click-and-drag does not work at all as it’s used for scrolling.
- Double-click and right-mouse-button-clicks are hard: the pen pointer moves a lot more than when using a mouse.
- Having the pen in your hand means that when you type, you either drop the pen or you type with a pen between your fingers.
The one problem I had was that the Huion driver puts Windows into “Tablet mode”, which is generally correct. However it also means Windows likes to pop up a soft keyboard. It should not as I have a USB keyboard connected. It’s annoying as heck then it happens. Luckily the fix is simple.
No more soft keyboard pop-up
Run services.msc, find the Touch Keyboard and Handwriting Panel Service and simply disable it.
