    Bamboo pen can only be used as a mouse, how do I fix the problem?


    Hello,

    I have a slightly older CTF 430 Bamboo pen, with the matching tablet.

    My Imac makes everything work wonderfully. But when I'm working on my Windows computer (Windows 10) I can only use the pen as a mouse.

    In the settings he is also only recognized as a mouse. In the Pen and Windows INK settings I could not find anything useful.

    I need the pen for various programs (e.g. for writing) and not only as a mouse. It is connected with a USB cable via PC

    What can I do?

    Thanks

    :)

    Bamboo Ink Pen

    Hi Billy,

    Using a Bamboo Ink Pen doesn't require a specific tablet for it to work as long as you're using a touch-capable tablet or PC. For us to provide you the possible resolution and the accurate information as to why you're having issues with Bamboo Ink Pen, answer
    the following questions:

    • What is the make and model of your device?
    • Were there any changes made on your computer prior to this concern?
    • Have you tried updating the driver of your Bamboo Ink Pen to isolate compatibility issues?
    • To make sure that we have not missed on anything, what troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    Looking forward to the requested information for us to assist you.

    bamboo ink pen

    I just bought an envy 2-1 tablet and laptop. I also purchased a bamboo ink pen. Yet, I paired the two successfully but the pen will not write. I have restarted the computer, re-paired the pen with the envy, changed the computer settings, and changed the
    pen settings many times. The computer shows the symbol for an extra keyboard for the pen (the mouse shows up as a mouse). Just confused and frustrated. Thanks in advance.
