New hardware review: the Huion Inspiroy H610X, a screen-less, medium sized, budget friendly graphic tablet.▶️ Ptb: https://peertube.touhoppai.moe/w/7hiPUYqJVAnpAfSsS5oQzo▶️ Ytb: https://youtu.be/ZkZ-sSz65rUBlog post: https://www.davidrevoy.com/article1072/:linux: Note: Not a sponsored review, but I received the tablet for free. It's a model I selected myself on the Huion catalog as I wanted to review budget friendly hardware this time and on the way reports the specs to the Linux devs.#review #linux #huion

@davidrevoy I have an older Huion of this type and I have to re-install the (official windows) driver every morning I need it. As soon as I disconnect the tablet, it does what it does in your test. But freshly installed all the buttons work. No way to actually save settings that way though.

@davidrevoy excellent review, thanks. sounds like there are too many gotchas/issues with the emulation. think I'll stick with my (really cheap) xppen deco, although the stylus isn't great. I honestly don't use it enough to justify anything fancier.

@davidrevoy does your bottom button send "ctrl-z" or "ctrl-ALT-z"? my huion seems to do latter (I'll have to go back to doublecheck model number and behavior)

@rrika I had a look at the hid-recorder; this is a "ctrl-ALT-z" , you are right!I'll put a note on it on the article. Thanks for reporting this.

@MikeH I also owned the Giano, back in 2017 I made an article about it https://www.davidrevoy.com/article331/setup-huion-giano-wh1409-tablet-on-linux-mint-18-1-ubuntu-16-04 , in short, the Giano (mine was first version, I know at least three revision existed) is larger, better overlay quality, and has more shortcut button with a better sound as far as I remember (it's in a box in my garage, last update I made was in 2020). If you own it, and stylus is still good, all is perfect. I remember Huion still selling overlay surface for this one.

@davidrevoy fwiw, GNOME shows the tablet but lists it as unknown. And since the vast majority of unknown tablets are built-in ones it will default to that. That's actually the libwacom fallback behavior now.Adding a libwacom entry for the H610 makes that issue go away (and probably the plasma one too).On that note - @redstrate - KDE should probably do the same for unknown tablets.

@davidrevoy I think you should be able to remap the keys with evremap (`apt install evremap` on Debian 13). It even supports assigning different outputs to tap vs hold, which is a really cool feature. I don't have a graphics tablet with keyboard keys, but I tested evremap with an extra keyboard and made its right control key to function as a mute key when tapped, and as a normal right control key when held down. My default keyboard wasn't affected.I was considering to buy a small numpad keyboard for shortcuts and was looking for a way to remap the keys, and found this via ArchWiki.https://github.com/wez/evremaphttps://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Input_remap_utilities

@nen Thank you for the link to this project. I'll have a look. For your quest of customizing a numpad; I published this https://www.davidrevoy.com/article989/how-to-customise-a-usb-numeric-keypad-under-gnulinux , I hope it helps!

@davidrevoy Really nice custom keys! Thanks for the guide. I think I'd need to have support for key combinations at least, so Input-Remapper seems even better than evremap since it comes with a GUI. Was the autoload feature completely missing when you tried Input-Remapper or was it just bugging out randomly? The one from Debian 13 packages seems to recover from sleep well on my laptop now (I tried several wake-up cycles), and it also does reconnect after removing and plugging the keyboard back in.
