## What it is
OpenTabletDriver is an open source, cross-platform, user-mode driver for graphics tablets, with a configurable GUI and daemon architecture. It supports a wide range of tablet models on Windows, Linux, and macOS with low latency and pen pressure support.

## Use cases
- use a drawing tablet on Linux without vendor drivers
- get pen pressure working in GIMP or osu!
- replace official Wacom/XP-Pen drivers on Windows
- configure tablet mapping area across multiple monitors
- use a cheap drawing tablet on macOS
- reduce tablet input latency for osu!

## When to choose
- your tablet is on the supported list and vendor drivers are unavailable or broken
- you need a consistent tablet setup across Windows, Linux, and macOS
- you want fine-grained control over tablet area mapping, pressure, and bindings

## When to avoid
- your tablet is not in the supported tablets list
- you need Bluetooth tablet connectivity, which is unsupported
- you need multi-touch or display tablet features not covered by the driver
