tabd is a replacement for OpenTabletDriver I made for fun. It uses the same Windows APIs OTD does but doesn't take half a minute to start and won't open command prompt when added to autostart.

tabd uses presets for configuration stored in a simple .json files under presets folder which is in the same directory as tabd.exe. Here's my Osu.json preset for example:

{
    "center": [80.41049, 85],
    "size": [100, 56.222546],
    "rotation": 90,
    "ink": false
}

The center, size, and rotation parameters define what part of the tablet area should be mapped to the screen and how much it should be rotated. These are the same values OTD uses so you don't have to calculate them yourself. ink either makes the driver emulate Windows Ink inputs that support pressure levels or a normal mouse cursor.

If you want me to add another tablet, send me an email or open an issue. If you want to do it yourself, see tablets.c file.
