Pressure sensitivity not working with asus pen on a touch screen laptop

Hi!

 

I have an Asus zenbook duo with touch screens, and a pen that comes with it. Pressure sensitivity works perfect in programs like Onenote, Word etc. but I can't get it to work in Photoshop. I have an older version, CS6, and the pen is a SA201H from Asus. I've tried so many different solutions, but nothing seems to work...

    I'm on Asus proArt H7606w, stylus 2.0, and photoshop 2023 does not register clicks/inputs, only cursor position. I dont have wacom driver for now.

    Hi @Anagate as @DeanUtian pointed out Asus support was not available with CS6. You'll need a newer version of Photoshop to utilize the pen sensitivity.

    I also have an Asus Zenbook Pro Duo and the pen works fine in Photoshop CC. Maybe upgrade your PS version? I'd just like to be able to adjust the pressure sensitivity.

    Update: since I've installed the Wacom drivers, my Asus stylus doesn't work anymore in Photoshop. It gets the pen's position, but doesn't trigger any other pen input.

    Since I have not had direct experience with this, I had a look in the forum to see if others had and hopefully find something to help you resolve the problem. However, all I found is people with Asus that did not work with CS6. It may be that it is not compatible.
