Affinity Designer cannot get pressure response with Dell pen or Wacom One

[RichWard]

Hi, 

I've got a Dell 7200 2 in 1 and the Dell PN557W pen which is a branded Wacom pen - I can't get Affinity Designer to respond to pressure even though I've set the stroke and pressure under the brush More settings. So I tried with the Wacom One tablet and also no pressure. I'm running Windows 11. 

Because neither device works I'm guessing there's something I'm not doing correctly. Any suggestions? Pressure works in OneNote and Concepts but I would like to use Affinity Designer if possible.

Thank you.

There should be a "Controller" icon on the Context Toolbar, which looks something like a target. Do you have it enabled and set to Pressure?

@walt.farrell Sorted, thank you so much!!! 

I've been Googling for an answer for ages but it didn't turn up that little nugget of advice. I'd set the brush pressure, but as you advised it needed the Controller set to Pressure too.
