No, bro67, it's not a hardware issue, as stated above I've tested on a Mac and another Windows Machine. I've also had help from Wacom but it was basic advice, ie Try latest driver.

I'm using the Bamboo CTH-470/K. I've tried ALL the drivers available for this device. Nothing is interfering.

If it is only that computer, it would be a hardware issue with that one, since you ruled out the tablet on other devices. Something is conflicting with the tablet drivers on that one machine. I would try running a Linux Mint 17.3 LTS DVD to see if that one problematic machine still has issues when you use the Wacom with Linux. If it does, it can then help narrow down to what is causing the problem.

Bro67, I'm just the biggest jerk. I think you were, at least partly, right. Plugging the tablet in directly with a cable solves the issue. On my computer, and my computer alone the wireless reciever causes the pen input pressure to be half. Still anoying that I have to plug it in to use it, but I don't care, I can do my work again.

Sorry for ruling your judgement out right away.
