Pen Draws Lines or Clicks While Hovering Above the Tablet

Overview

This FAQ addresses situations where a GAOMON pen draws lines or registers clicks even when hovering above the tablet surface (without touching it). The issue may be caused by nib problems, interference, driver conflicts, or physical damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why is my pen drawing lines or clicking while hovering?
