Basically the title. I press my pen down to the tablet, begin my stroke, but nothing appears on screen. No brush stroke goes through until a few more tries. As you can tell, that's quite the massive hindrance. I don't know if it's adobe or my Gaomon tablet, because in Ibis Paint X the strokes always go through without fail, and in Adobe Animate my mouse has no issues making brush strokes. So I'm... not sure what the issue is. Any help is appreciated, thank you.

It could be a driver issue.
Try switching to WinTab from Edit > Edit Preferences... > Drawing > Tablet Input
Also check your driver settings and choose WinTab for Animate, or experiment with disabling WinTab and switch back to Windows Ink.
And, of course, check to see if there are any driver updates from Gaomon.

I'm very not-tech savy, so uh, can you help me get to the page you showed in the screenshot? I can only get to this.
Like how do I get to Edit > Edit Preferences... > Drawing > Tablet Input?
And how do I check my driver settings and choose WinTab for animate?? I can't find that anywhere. And how would I go about finding driver updates from Gaomon...? Sorry. I know I'm bad at most tech stuff. I appreciate the help a lot.

Hi mate,
That screen I showed you is actually in Animate.
You get access to the tablet settings via the Edit menu, then Edit Preferences... and then you will see that dialog.
In your Gaomon driver up where it says All Programs, you should be able to set specific settings per program.
For Animate specifically try disabling Windows Ink, which is the chekbox at the bottom.
Your goal should be to sync the two settings both in Animate and the Gaomon driver and experiment with both - WinTab and Windows Ink - to see which gives better results. In fact, try all possible combinations. Switching only the setting in Animate, and switching on and off the Windows Ink option in the tablet control panel.
It may not be necessary, but to be on the safe side, restart the computer after you make the changes.
Good luck!

Thank you! Windows Ink seems to be the one that has the issue. All combos prove that, but... using WinTab for some reason removes all pressure sensitivity. And that's a big issue. Any idea on how to fix that? I've tried changing the sensitivity for Adobe in the software & in the Gaomon drive but no luck. Also, when I switch to WinTab, it gives me an error message that says this.
I bypass it by saying ok, but I'm not sure if it means anything.
I've also included a video for the sensitivity issue.

Unfortunately, I can't give more advice as I have never had any personal experience with Gaomon tablets. If they have a forum, it may be worth asking there.
In the video you posted, I noticed that you are using the Fluid Brush. This tool uses the graphics card acceleration (Direct X), and it is possible that the lag comes from there.
Try using the Classic Brush for tests. If that works as expected with the tablet (Windows Ink), look into updating your graphics drivers next to see if this will improve the performance of the Fluid Brush.

There's a checkbox in your Gaomon settings that says "Enable Windows Ink" try unchecking it.
