Download OpenTabletDriver – Open-Source Graphics Tablet Driver

OpenTabletDriver is a free, open-source, cross-platform graphics tablet driver that provides an alternative to the official proprietary drivers offered by tablet manufacturers. It is designed to give users greater control over tablet behavior, with a clean configuration interface and lower system overhead than vendor-supplied software.

The driver supports a wide range of tablets from Wacom, Huion, XP-Pen, Gaomon, and other brands. It offers precise pen input, configurable pressure curves, area mapping, pen button bindings, and auxiliary (Express Key) button assignments — all managed through an intuitive GUI without requiring a system restart after changes.

Particularly popular in the osu! rhythm game community for its low-latency absolute mode and raw input handling, OpenTabletDriver is also widely used by digital artists and illustrators who want clean, predictable pen behavior. It runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
