Try switching to Windows Ink: https://docs.krita.org/en/contributors_manual/user_support.html#quick-solutions and make sure to restart your PC afterwards to see the effects.

Also btw., in cases like that it's better to ask for help on krita-artists.org forum, which is much more user-oriented and user-friendly than this website. This website is more like development-oriented.

Ahh you're on MacOS... ummm, complain to either Apple or Mac, then... or Qt. We don't manage a single line of code to manage tablets on Mac, we only use Qt library (for a lot of stuff and on all systems) so Qt library talks to the system which talks to the tablet driver. On mac right now the only semi-reliable tablets are Wacoms, unfortunately. It's not something we can fix...

You can try resetting Krita configuration just in case: https://docs.krita.org/en/KritaFAQ.html#resetting-krita-configuration
