    also an insight into what a blowdried lion's mane looks like

    okay SO
    I don't actually know if it's my tablet or laptop ?? both are fully updated and I don't know if it's one or the other playing up or,, fingers crossed not both yikes

    tablet;;
    - Wacom Intuos Art, about 4 years old?
    - little blue light flashes a lot
    - randomly disconnects/switches off, have to replug
    - pen disconnects sometimes even with blue light on
    - pen doesn't always work in regards to 'clicking' things (opening new tabs, pressing links, etc)
    - can hold pen pressed to tablet, steady as a rock, but on screen the cursor shakes/vibrates

    laptop;;
    - purchased secondhand, I've owned for three or so years, no idea of actual age
    - cursor sometimes disappears (but things 'highlight' like the cursor is hovering over them anyway)
    - sometimes when using the trackpad it lags (?) like tryna move it through on-screen sand
    - (when using tablet) random 'touch on' + 'touch off' notifications

    but other than that they work fine !! :')
    uh yeah if anyone is tech savvy and knows what might be making them funky,, pls comment/pm <3

Usually when my laptop and/or tablet acts up, I just empty the cache on my computer and scan for malware while I'm at it. After that, if I still have a few lag problems, I'll restart my computer and that fixes it most of the time.

If I know that it's just my tablet acting up and nothing else, I'll go into my computer and manually turn off the tablet's driver and then turn it back on. That's how I have to activate my pen pressure in SAI every time and sometimes even that doesn't work, lol (I don't have pen pressure in Oekaki at all).

But yea, in summary, try emptying your computer's cache and scanning for malware and viruses. Trackers can also sometimes give your computer trouble. If you're unsure how to do this, I personally use CCleaner and Malwarebytes (both are great free programs, highly recommend CCleaner in particular) ^^
