Q: 8. There are three questions on this product, and the answers given all contradict each other. can you clarify all the answers please?

A: The long answer is that the conflict between Xencelabs Quick Keys and Wacom tablet drivers is a very specific issue which arises due to the limitations of WinTab, an API which can be used with Wacom devices to allow pen input in Windows. This has mainly been an issue in older versions of Photoshop and other Adobe software; modern versions rely instead on Windows Ink, a different API which Xencelabs has stated creates no issues when using both Xencelabs and Wacom devices. Xencelabs has provided instructions on dealing with this issue in a post on their subreddit here: https://bit.ly/3tsqcaI The short answer is that yes, there have been issues with driver compatibility, but this is mainly the case with older versions of Adobe programs and only on Windows. There should be no problems with current versions of Adobe software, and for users who are still having trouble the link above contains a workaround.
