DESCRIPTION
I have a HP Rechargeable MPP2.0 Tilt pen. Drawing with it works great, but the
lower button is not recognised in the KDE System Settings "Drawing Tablet"
module. When I press the upper button, the text on “Pen button 1” turns bold.
Which is already strange because the pen image to the left says that button 1
should be the lower button.
But the lower button (that should be “Pen button 2”) is not recognised at all
and I can’t get it to show up.
So I used evtest to see if the buttons are working at all, and they are:
Lower button (primary)
The primary button has been emitting different events, but I am unsure what the
difference is

As suggested on KDE Discuss [1], I tested the pen with input-remapper, which
did also recognise the pen buttons. The lower button gets recognised as "Button
TOOL RUBBER", while the upper button is "Button STYLUS". As a test, I applied a
mapping from TOOL RUBBER to KEY_LEFTMETA, which works well.
So it seems like Plasma is the missing link for not recognising this as the
proper button and/or not letting me remap what counts as a button.
