Device Requirements

VirtualTablet: Bluetooth works best with devices that support a pressure-sensitive stylus. For the full drawing experience, use hardware that supports advanced pen features such as pressure, tilt, and hover.

⚠️
Important: Capacitive touch pens (usually with large round rubber tips) do not support pressure sensitivity. While you can draw with these pens or your finger in some modes, pressure-sensitive input will not work.
