What are the options to change brush size with left hand while drawing a stroke?

[jfm35051248]

Hi, I want to list all technically possible ways of dynamically altering the width/size of a stroke with the left hand while drawing with the right hand in Photoshop.  I own a Huion Kamvas display tablet, which has a slider on the left that I was expecting to use to do this.  But is does not work since the tablet sends keystrokes while using the slider and Photoshop seems to ignore [ and ] keystrokes while drawing.  So what are the alternatives?

- Use [ and ] keys?  This is ignored by Photoshop while drawing.

- Use pen pressure?  This cannot be controlled separately from the right drawing hand.

- What else?

The controls for dynamically controlling brush width are set out in the Brush settings panel

You would need a controller that simulates Dial, Pen Pressure, tilt or stylus wheel

Thanks Dave.  But how can I find a "controller that simulates Dial" for Photoshop?  Even a product like Palette does not allow to change the brush size while drawing ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fa_ltWlmzUc ).

BrushKnob will not work either because it emulates [ and ] keystrokes : https://vimeo.com/163763962

I don't know of any separate controller that does that.

Is there any controller that does that?

How can I escalate this question to Photoshop support for a solution?
