Huion Tablet Pen Not Working
Pressure Sensitivity
Oftentimes, the pressure sensitivity input in your Huion pen might start to malfunction or not meet your requirements. When this happens, you’ll be unable to finish your desired design with utmost precision. If this is the case with you, simply move the slider to the left to make it less sensitive. Given that you want to increase the sensitivity, slide it to the right.
Driver Issues
Another reason your Huion tablet pen isn’t working could be that the tablet driver is backdated. Presuming that this is the issue with your pen, try installing the driver on your PC with the driver CD that comes with the packaging. Just in case the driver CD is outdated as well, install the latest driver by yourself. For this, simply visit the Huion official website, search for the driver compatible with your Windows/Mac, and install it right away. And you’re done!
How to Connect
In order to connect your Huion pen to your PC or laptop, just go ahead and insert one end of the charging cable into the charging port of the stylus. Then, use the other end of the cable to connect the pen with your desired device, be it a PC or a laptop. And voila!
Nevertheless, sometimes the pen might stop responding even when connected to a charging cable. The underlying reason could be the cable being damaged or worn out. If and when this happens, get your Charging Cable replaced with a brand new one.
Moving cursor- Lagging
Often, after years of use, your Huion stylus might start to lag. This will enable the cursor to move slower than ever whenever you use software like Adobe Photoshop or Paint. These imprecise and hard-to-control strokes may easily ruin your artwork, which is definitely a bummer.
But what should be done to solve this issue? Simply update your firmware. Go to the Huion Firmware section from their official website and follow the steps. However, all of this should be done using a Windows PC. Given that this doesn’t resolve your problem, contact Huion customer service with the required details of your Huion device.
