Change TabletMouseSimulation from 0 to 1
If you're having trouble connecting your Huion tablet with Paint Tool SAI, one solution is to change the TabletMouseSimulation setting from 0 to 1. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do this:
First, check your SAI's program directory by opening the "misc.ini" file. You can do this by right-clicking on the file and selecting "Open with Notepad" or a similar text editor. In the "misc.ini" file, locate the line that says "TabletMouseSimulation = 0". Change this setting by replacing "TabletMouseSimulation = 0" with "TabletMouseSimulation = 1". Save the file.
Next, right-click on either SAI's application or Huion's drivers (it doesn't matter which one you start with, but you'll need to do it on both). Open the "Compatibility" settings and make sure that the "Run this program as an administrator" option is selected. This step is important to ensure the changes take effect.
Additionally, you can try adjusting the minimum pressure settings. Open your SAI program and go to "OTHERS" > "OPTIONS". Check that your Coordinate is set to "Pen". Then, go to "Other" > "Options" > "Pen Tablet" > "Minimum Pressure for Brush Stroke", and change the setting from 0% to 1%.
By following these steps, you should be able to successfully connect your Huion tablet with Paint Tool SAI and have it recognize the pen pressure. If you continue to experience issues, you may consider contacting Huion customer support for further assistance.

Delete tablet preferences
If your Huion tablet is not working with Paint Tool SAI, there are several troubleshooting steps you can take to resolve the issue.
One suggested solution is to delete your tablet preferences, especially if the issue is related to lost pressure sensitivity. To do this, follow these steps:
- Reboot your device.
- Click on the "Start" button and search for "Tablet Preferences."
- If you find "Tablet Preferences," it means that tablet software is still installed on your device.
- Proceed to uninstall and reinstall the latest tablet driver from the manufacturer's website.
- Ensure that your tablet functions correctly with other software besides Paint Tool SAI.
It is important to note that the specific steps to delete tablet preferences may vary depending on the tablet model and operating system you are using. If you are using a Wacom tablet, for example, you can delete the preferences using the "Wacom Preference File Utility" software that was installed with the tablet driver.
Additionally, there are other suggested solutions to connectivity issues between Huion tablets and Paint Tool SAI. These include:
- Changing the "Minimum Pressure" setting from 0% to 1% within the tablet settings.
- Ensuring that the Coordinate setting in the SAI program is set to "Pen."
- Adjusting the TabletMouseSimulation setting in the SAI program directory by opening "misc.ini" with Notepad and changing the value from 0 to 1.
- Granting Administrator Privileges to both the SAI application and the Huion driver.
- Checking the "Disable display scaling on high DPI setting" in the Compatibility settings of the SAI program.
If none of these solutions resolve the issue, it is recommended to contact Huion customer support for further assistance.

Duplicate displays
If you are using a Huion tablet with Paint Tool SAI, you may encounter issues with dual monitor setups. This is because SAI is known to be "picky" when it comes to Huion tablets, and it may not work as expected, especially with multiple displays.
To address this issue, you can try the following methods:
- Ensure that your Huion tablet functions correctly with other software besides SAI. This will help determine if the issue is specific to SAI or a more general problem with your tablet.
- Update your SAI version: Older versions of SAI, such as 1.0.2, may have compatibility issues with Huion tablets and multiple monitors. Try updating to a newer version of SAI, such as 1.2.5 or 2.0, as suggested by Huion support.
- Reinstall Paint Tool SAI: Uninstall and then reinstall Paint Tool SAI to address any potential installation issues. This has helped some users resolve problems with their Huion tablets and dual monitors.
- Adjust display settings: Ensure that your main display is correctly set as the primary display. You can try switching the displays to check if it resolves the issue.
- Edit the "misc.ini" file: Open the SAI installation path and locate the "misc.ini" file. Edit this file using a text editor like Notepad and set "TabletMouseSimulation = 0" to "TabletMouseSimulation = 1". This has helped some users, but others have reported that it created new problems, such as being unable to draw in SAI.
- Check "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings": Open SAI's properties, go to "COMPATIBILITY," and check the option to "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings". This has helped some users resolve issues with the cursor and brush positioning.
- Set your tablet display work area: Follow the steps in the article "How to Set Your Tablet Display Work Area" to ensure your tablet's display area is correctly configured.
- Try older Huion drivers: If you are using newer Huion drivers that are incompatible with Paint Tool SAI, you can try installing older drivers. This has been a successful workaround for some users.
Additionally, some users have reported that setting their Huion tablet as Duplicate these displays in the display settings can make the tablet work with Paint Tool SAI. However, this results in the same screen being displayed on both the tablet and the main monitor, rather than treating them as separate screens.
