ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm using a Veikk VK1200. I 100% know it's an issue with Krita because the tablet works normal on all other art software. I've also configured and reconfigured the Driver as much as I can and it does absolutely nothing to help.
Comment 1 Halla Rempt 2022-08-11 07:52:04 UTC 
As the product category says, tablet problems are only very rarely bugs in Krita: Krita does not actually contain any code that specifically interacts with tablets, all of that is handled by the OS, drivers and Qt. 

But Veikk is known for having very low quality drivers and in any case, we do not have access to the hardware to test. Whether the tablet works in other applications is not a sign that it's a bug in Krita: tablet drivers are often written to work with specific applications, instead of following the specification correctly.

Pretty much the only thing you can try is switching between Wintab and Windows Ink in Krita's settings. You can use the tablet tester to check whether the tablet actually sends events that make sense.
