🎀 NAME 🎀

uwacom — Wacom USB tablets. that’s the whole name, and honestly? iconic.

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

The uwacom driver provides basic support for Wacom USB tablets. Access to these devices is through the wscons(4) framework.

Absolute positioning of the mouse cursor can be done by hovering the pen above the tablet. Touching the tablet with the pen tip will emulate mouse button 0, while the two pen buttons will emulate button 1 and button 2. yes bestie, the pen is basically doing main character mouse duties 💅

The uwacom driver supports the following Wacom tablets:

• Intuos Draw — CTL-490
• Intuos S — CTL-4100
• One S — CTL-472
• One M — CTL-672

that’s the support list, no cap ✨
