The video explores the unconventional use of a weak pen tablet, typically an art tool, for playing various video games. The presenter chronicles their experimentation with software tweaks to improve gaming performance with the pen tablet, finding some improvement but facing persistent challenges. They discuss in detail their attempts to use the pen tablet in games like GTA 5, Battlefield 5, Half-Life 2, and OSU, highlighting issues such as jumpy movement and range control difficulties. Despite some minor successes and viewer-suggested adjustments, the presenter concludes that while it is technically possible to game with a pen tablet, it remains impractical compared to traditional gaming peripherals. Key terms include "raw input," "direct input," and "Mouse mode," and the main games referenced are GTA 5, Battlefield 5, Half-Life 2, and OSU.

In this segment of the video, the presenter discusses using a weak pen tablet, typically used by art professionals, to play video games. They reference a previous video attempt where gaming with the pen tablet didn’t go well but highlight viewer comments suggesting software tweaks. The presenter tests these tweaks by changing the mouse input method from raw input to direct input, which improved control but resulted in jumpy movement. They also highlight how the pen can detect movement without touching the surface, equating surface touches to clicks, and suggest using the pen button to avoid accidental clicks. The presenter finds that while driving in GTA 5 is somewhat manageable with the pen tablet, it is still cumbersome, particularly when trying to straighten the car. Overall, the presenter concludes that while gaming with a pen tablet is possible with minor adjustments, it is not practical enough to replace traditional gaming peripherals.

In this part of the video, the presenter discusses the challenges of using a pen tablet for gaming, particularly in games like Battlefield 5 and Half-Life 2. The primary issue is that the pen tablet’s range of movement is determined upon spawning, making it difficult to control and aim. Attempts to enable Mouse mode in the drivers did not resolve the problem. The presenter then experiments with turning off raw input and adjusting mouse sensitivity in Half-Life 2, which results in some improvement. They explain the pen movement mechanics, noting that moving the pen from the center determines the camera direction and speed. Despite the challenges, the presenter manages to kill enemies, proving the setup’s potential usability. Additionally, the presenter investigates OSU, a game played with pen tablets, in response to viewer comments.

In this part of the video, the creator shares their first experience playing the game OSU. Initially, they struggle with the fast-paced nature and difficulty of the game, even on easy mode, citing a lack of synchronization between the music and gameplay. Despite switching to a pen tablet and seeking a tutorial for better understanding, they still find the game highly challenging but remain determined. They also reinstall drivers to improve performance in FPS games using the pen tablet, specifically mentioning Battlefield 5, but ultimately still find the pen tablet difficult to use effectively. The segment concludes with the creator thanking viewers and encouraging them to watch more videos and subscribe.
