Xiaomi Pad 8 + Focus Pen Pro – They don't work!

Some xiaomi tablets definitely works, actually every pen should work.
I do handle pressure correctly from Android… why should I be blamed and not Xiaomi.
I don’t have any lists of things that don’t work.
It could even be fixed or broken by driver update independently from Nomad.

As for note: this thread now exists. If you look at xiaomi pad 8 and Nomad that’s the first thing that will come up. I am trying hard to look at any information or if there is any workaround but nothing comes up on Google.

Note: i could replicate and fix the crash on log copy. But the cause was: huge log (hundreds of MBs). In theory clear or just doing a solo stroke after opening should have worked.

Also in Gesture you might want to disable “Use extra input samples” (apparently Xiaomi has some troubles with it, Dev Update: Week 2 and 3 of 2026 | Drawpile)


(Not sure but maybe it could be the “game turbo” thing)

Open the Xiaomi Security app (pre-installed on the tablet).

2. Open Game Turbo.

3. If your app is in the list, remove it.

(Alternatively: Game Turbo Settings → Performance Mode → disable “Optimized gesture and sensitivity”)
