Does anyone here use a Wacom Intuos + XP-Pen / Huion pen display on the same PC?

I'm currently looking into if I should purchase a display monitor, such an XP-Pen Innovator 16 or a Huion Kamvas 16 Pro, but I came across many reports that drivers for these devices will conflict with Wacom drivers. As I kept looking it seems like the issues lies with WinTab APIs, it seems like each of these drivers will install a different wintab32.dll. So Wacom drivers will install a version/variant of wintab32.dll that only works with those drivers, and when you install let's say a XP-Pen driver, it will overwrite the wintab32.dll file that again only works with itself. Bummer.

But it seems like applications that use Windows Ink should be unaffected by this. So long as the drivers are set to use Windows Ink everything should work just fine. At least in theory. And that's my question for anyone using this hardware combo on Windows, were you able to make both drivers work in Windows Ink mode? Were you able to retain pressure (and tilt) sensitivity in both pen devices? Affinity software is a prime example of a software where this is easy to spot since you can easily swap between WinTab and Windows Ink at will.

Thanks in advance for any help given.

Hi LCamachoDesign,

I can't really give much help here as this isn't a setup we have access to.  However as you point out you can switch between WinTab and Windows Ink in Affinity, so in theory it shouldn't be an issue.  Might be best to wait for a reply from someone with this setup or contact the makers of the monitor and tablet directly to see if they are aware of any issues with this kind of setup
