Hi there.
So I've recently started playing osu!, it's a fun and addicting game, and I noticed that a lot of people seem to use tablets. Most of the tablet users will either remove the tip or hover with the pen, which I wouldn't want to do.
The first and most major problem I ran into was the fact that you can't disable left mouse clicks in the options of your Wacom tablet. I know this is possible to disable in-game but for some reason that didn't work for me.
I managed to fix this by disabling all the buttons on my pen through the "Pen_Tablet.dat", which is located in "C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\WTablet\Pen_Tablet.dat" (If you can't seem to find AppData, you can write %appdata% in your search bar and press enter).
You open it with notepad and search for "ButtonFunction", then you'll see something like "<ButtonFunction type="integer">X</ButtonFunction>" you want to replace all the X's you find with 0 (only those that contain ButtonFunction) and by "X" I mean any number between 1 and 20 or close to that. This will disable every button on your pen and leave it with one function, which is moving the cursor.
If you only want to disable the tip of the pen, you can search for "ButtonName" until you find something along the lines of "<ButtonName type="string">tip</ButtonName>" then you will see a ButtonFunction string to the left of it containing a 1, which should be changed to 0. This didn't work for me, but it might for you.
After you're finished with your changes, you can save the Pen_Tablet.dat, overwriting the old one (You can make a backup of your old .dat if you want).
Also make sure to Right click -> Properties -> Read-only.
Then the only thing left to do is either restarting your computer or going into Device manager -> Mice and other pointing devices -> Right-click on Wacom and Disable, then Enable it again.
Hopefully someone can benefit from this (if it isn't too confusing).
