The only real limitation is that they don't support TILT.

Pens * See [Wacom 4K Pen for Intuos (LP-1100K) notes](/drawtab/catalog/pens/wacom-pens/wacom-lp1100k-notes.md). ## Non-pen inputs ### Auxiliary inputs The tablet has its buttons at the top NOTE: technically there is a fifth button - but that is for turning the bluetooth on and off ## Cables and connectivity ### Ports There is a single micro USB port on the upper left corner of the tablet.
### Cabling The tablet comes with a USB-A to Micro USB cable.
### Alternate cabling You can use a USB-C to Micro-USB adapter. Since I prefer to connect all my pen tablets with the same USB-C connector, I use a female USB-C to male Micro-USB adapter. ## Photos
