# uwacom(4)

Wacom USB tablets

## NAME

**uwacom** – Wacom USB tablets

## SYNOPSIS

**uwacom\*  at uhidev?** **wsmouse\* at uwacom? mux 0**

## DESCRIPTION

The **uwacom** driver provides basic support for Wacom USB tablets. Access to these devices is through the [wscons(4)](/wscons/4.md) 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.

The **uwacom** driver supports the following Wacom tablets:
