I got an XP-PEN G430 and I want to try pro players tablet area, but in the wacom software, the area is in wacom "counts" and not in " or CM. Is there any way to convert the "counts" to CM?

Using the counts for the wacom CTH480, which is pretty widely used in this game, I found that there are 2533.33 (7600/3) counts per inch. I am not sure if all the wacom tablets are the same.

Here is a spreadsheet to do it for you

Just for the test, I am putting this on the XP-PEN software and see what I get (Using Rafis tablet area): https://puu.sh/sa8y9/7a56058577.png.

It seems to be outputting the right number on Rafis' side. The tablet shown for him is the same that I used to make the spreadsheet. For him it shows that the tablet area is about 3.25 by 2.25, which is a bit more than half the height and half the width of his tablet, which looks correct. However the XPpen software does not seem to be calculating distances correctly. At 3.25 inches wide, it should be almost as wide as your tablet is. (The XPpen has a 4 inch active width) however it is closer to a third. When you hold your pen over the tablet, does the active area feel like 3.25 by 2.25, or is it much smaller?

What I find most odd about your results is that the XPpen that you are using only has an active area of 4in x 3in, yet you have a tablet area of 2.25 inches tall offset by 1.99 inches. This would put you outside of the area that the tablet can track. Are you sure you have the right driver software?

Actually, the software displays a 9.00x5.75 active area in inches in the software not a 4x3in like you said, here is from were I downloaded my tablet softwarehttp://www.xp-pen.com/download/index/cid/5/p/1.html, I downloaded the one that says "Star series G430 Driver Download Version 1". As I can see in the "manual download" section, in the G430 user manual, there is a screenshot saying that it is 4.00x3.00in and mine is exactly the same software and it says 9.00x5.75in. :\

EDIT: Just substracted the inches the software was telling me by the real size of the area(9-4 and 5.75-3) and then added that to the width of the calculator :)

Forgive me if I am misunderstanding, but if your tablet is mapping proportionally to what is being placed in the tablet software, wouldn't you want to use (9/4)*CalculatedX and (5.75/3)*CalculatedY?

Don't worry for that, XP-Pen software has an error that they are going to fix!
