Affinity Designer and third-party pencils

Have you ever tried to connect your third-party pencils to Affinity? It probably didn’t work since Affinity limits you to using only the Apple Pencil.

Linearity Curve is optimized for iPad and Apple Pencil, but we also support third-party pencils like the Wacom Bamboo Stylus or even drawing tablets as the Wacom Bamboo Slate.
