Pressure sensitivity doesn't work in Adobe Animate

Hello. I have a problem with my tablet Genius Mousepen i608x. Actually with Adobe Animate CC 2017. Pressure is working normal in Paint Tool Sai, but in Adobe Animate (also in Clip Studio Paint really, but it doesn't mean to me) it doesn't work. Animate recognizes the tablet and the "Pressure" and "Tilt" buttons appeared. Although I turned on the "pressure" it still doesn't work.
I've tried to reinstall drivers for my tablet, but it didn't helped. Also I tried to use instructions, tried to find a solution but nothing helped. Maybe I just haven't clicked something or just need to write something somewhere, but it's still a problem. Please help me.
P.S. if i have some mistakes in my orthography, I'm sorry. I'm not English really

Also worth noting that I have researched and found that many have issues with these tablets not working correctly with Adobe Illustrator as well. So this sounds more like a technical issue with the tablet itself. Sorry I don't have better news for you.

I've read that these tablets are in general poorly made but I have never used one personally so don't quote me on that. But what I have heard is that you should never install the driver for it manually. Instead, just plug it in (USB) and let Windows install the driver automatically. If you've already installed the driver yourself, uninstall it completely, restart windows, plug the Genius Mousepen i608x into your USB port and allow Windows to download/install the driver on its own.

Not sure if that will work but worth a try before considering a new/better tablet.
