Tablet mouse buttons not working right

[Tetriswizard]

I have a Medion 86635, it's an old tablet, and the right click and middle click buttons that I have on the pen don't seem to want to function like the mouse.

For example, the VAB, I can't rotate the view, but I can pick and place parts, as well as open the right click menu and change things such as fuel levels and thrust limits.

Once launched, I am able to right click parts, and change things much like in the VAB, however I am still unable to rotate the view.

As a test, I right clicked with my mouse, and moved with the pen, however I was still unable to rotate the view.

I use it all the time, and for programs like Photoshop, it right clicks just fine, infact it works for games, like Interplanetary, Banished, and Harvest: Massive Encounter.

Is this a problem with KSP or my tablet/computer? I would REALLY like to use my tablet to design ships, because it just seems cooler, and I find it easier to use than a mouse (my opinion and experience).

Hi Tetriswizard, it's most likely that the output from the pen isn't quite the same as from a mouse, so the Unity game engine does not know how to use it.

For example the engine could be waiting for a different "move" signal than the pen is designed to provide.

This would be a driver issue, or perhaps a mode issue, I suggest checking the tablet software for any options on movement mode such as absolute (pointer is exactly where you place the pen, like a touchscreen) and relative (pointer must be moved into position with the pen, like a mouse) modes.

Hi Sal, thanks for responding. After setting my tablet to relative mode, I still have the same problem, I right click, and movement of the pen doesn't register as mouse movement. I wonder that maybe unity detects mouse movement, while my pad sets the mouse position, instead of move the mouse to the position.

This may be something that is only addressable by changing the code that handles input, I found these on the Unity site.

Using a wacom for input.

Unity input docs.

If Unity won't use the pen in either mode there may be nothing we can do, sorry :/
