Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
Some backstory: About 6 months ago I grabbed a Lenovo Duet Chromebook to replace a dead Samsung that was S-Pen compatible... Since the Duet apparently supported the USI stylus, I grabbed a compatible stylus and while it works, I sort of hate it.

I pulled out two older Wacom tablets (About 10 and 20 years old, each) and hooked them up via USB... They work, to a point, and suddenly I was getting what felt like S-Pen levels of pressure response on screen and it's not too different from using my PC screen.

The downside, though, is that the way the input is working is that it maps the Wacom's drawing surface in some sort of reversed way and no matter how I adjust the screen rotation, have the keyboard attached/detached, or hold the Wacom, it's somehow mapping the wacom drawing surface to the screen at 90-degrees off and as if the aspect ratios of the tablet/screen are inverted. (So, screen ovals when I draw a circle. It's like it treats the xX:yY ratio of the tablet like Yy:Xx, if that makes sense.)

I DO see there are more modern Wacoms that claim Chromebook support. Before I try one, does anyone have any ideas on things to try or the thoughts on using the modern Wacoms with the Chromebooks?
