# Auxiliary inputs
## Overview
The primary way you provide input via the tablet is via the pen. However, some drawing tablets have other built-in ways of providing input.
* Buttons (both physical and capacitive)
* Dials
* Touch-sensitive strips and wheels
## Terminology: ExpressKeys
**ExpressKeys** is a Wacom-specific term for buttons on Wacom tablets. However, many people have adopted it as a general term for buttons on tablets from all brands.
Huion calls buttons "Press Keys."
## Disabling auxiliary inputs
Some people love using these kinds of inputs, but some people do not like them because they
* take up space on the tablet
* are accidentally triggered
* or their workflow just doesn't benefit from them
For these cases, you should be aware that these inputs can often be configured in the tablet driver to "do nothing".
## Binding inputs to actions
You can bind the buttons to take a variety of actions. Broadly, the categories are:
* Mouse-related actions - right click, left-click, double click
* System navigation - scroll left, scroll right, zoom in/out, pan, switch applications
* System tasks - run an application, open a file
* Keyboard - press a key, hold down a modifier key
## Common useful bindings
You can bind these auxiliary inputs to all sorts of useful actions. Here are some popular examples: [Popular bindings for auxiliary inputs](/drawtab/core/expresskeys/popular-bindings.md)
## Global vs application configuration
Tablet drivers also let you configure how these auxiliary inputs work depending on the app you are using.
For example, you can set a button to:
* Increase brush size when you are using Photoshop
* Increase opacity when you are using Clip Studio Paint
* Increase the volume of your speakers under all other conditions
