Driver for pen/tablet on Thinkpad x230tAnonymous06/10/26(Wed)10:02:10

File: j7dmmz28kr531.jpg (670 KB, 4032x2268)

Can someone help me find which driver is the correct one I need to install on the x230t for the digitizer and pen to behave optimally? I'm running Win 10 pro and this is the only driver that windows update doesn't fetch automatically for some reason. I only have the default windows tablet and pen driver currently.
The driver I'm looking for should allow me to remap the pen buttons and restore touch sensitivity, as well as give some options like deactivating the touch screen entirely.

I've been checking online and asking AIs but all I can get are conflicting answers: in some places they tell me to install the latest Wacom feel driver, some tell to NOT install it and instead try an older version, some others say that it's on the lenovo support page, some say it's not... Hoping someone here who actually owns one knows which driver is the right one.

I don't know about optimality. I just installed the one that wacom told me to when I first got a Wacom One in 2021. It does allow me to remap the pen buttons (via 'Wacom Tablet Properties').
I don't think it matters whether you have a thinkpad or a hp.
When I get home I'll see what precise URL wacom told me to go to.

Maybe get Wacom Center to manage your wacom deivce. I'm sure it would be able to get the right update for you. Can't recall where to get it though.
Alternatively Windows may have the driver for you, if you go to "View Optional Updates" on the Windows Update settings page.

If you don't have the original pen, make sure to get an official one and not a knockoff. Pressure sensitivity doesn't work on the knockoffs.

I also own a Wacom One! I did try Wacom Center, but it doesn't seem to recognize the touch screen of the x230t and its pen as devices. It works nicely with my usb wacom one tablet, but doesn't do anything for the thinkpad elements themselves. Remapping the pen only affects the pen of the wacom one, not the one included with the pc.
I also did all optional updates from windows update, sadly none of them was a digitizer+pen specific driver.

desu I don't really need the pressure sensitivity, but I really want the ability to remap the button. I can't be certain the pen isn't a knockoff but I know the button is recognized because a white circle appears around the cursor when I press it, even if it doesn't do anything.

>x230t is a laptop tablet
oh I asssumed you were using a separate wacom device
yeah I don't think my case applies to you then
maybe you can at least test the hardware works by trying a different OS

Little update: after some research, I tried the Wacom Feel 7.3.4 driver because it was one that came up the most in forum posts.
Good news: It is recognized properly, I can finally remap the button's function, activate hover for the button and also set pen sensitivity.
Bad news: this driver kills finger touch screen completely, the sensitivity settings doesn't seem to do jack shit (unless its because my pen is not OEM, but I have no way to check if its a chink imitation or not), and the worst for me is it completely breaks the Wacom One driver and now my usb drawing tablet behaves like absolute shit. Seems like both drivers are incompatible with each other sadly, I had to uninstall both and reinstall wacom center for things to go back to normal.

I think I'll just stick to the default windows pen driver. I need my wacom one for my work and I don't wanna sacrifice it for just the ability to remap a button, it's not worth it. Also turns out the button actually works with the default windows driver! I just need to hold it AND then press the pen on the screen for it to work, not just hover like I'm used to on my other tablet.
