Customizable Huion Tablets Configuration for Linux

Disclaimer

• Tested on Huion HS610
• Inspiration from 1, 2

Procedure

1. Make a file in usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d named 99-huion[Model Name].conf. In my case, it is 99-huionHS610.conf. (You might need super user priveleges to do so)

2. Add this to your newly made conf file:

Section "InputClass"
    Identifier "Huion tablets with Wacom driver"
    MatchUSBID "256c:006d*"
    MatchIsTablet "true"
    MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*"
    Driver "wacom"
EndSection

'006d' is your product ID. In most cases it will remain the same.

3. Restart X server:

sudo systemctl restart display-manager

4. Now you should be able to see your tablet added to the xsetwacom list. To ensure that run:

xsetwacom --list

5. Now we can customize the buttons:
   In my case:
   

A single button can be customized as follows:

xsetwacom --set 'DEVICE NAME' Button NUMBER "key KEYSTROKES"

I customized all the 12 buttons for using gimp as follows:

xsetwacom --set "HUION Huion Tablet Pad pad" Button 1 "key ["
xsetwacom --set "HUION Huion Tablet Pad pad" Button 2 "key ]"
xsetwacom --set "HUION Huion Tablet Pad pad" Button 3 "key -"
xsetwacom --set "HUION Huion Tablet Pad pad" Button 8 "key shift +"
xsetwacom --set "HUION Huion Tablet Pad pad" Button 9 "key p"
xsetwacom --set "HUION Huion Tablet Pad pad" Button 10 "key shift e"
xsetwacom --set "HUION Huion Tablet Pad pad" Button 11 "key ctrl z"
xsetwacom --set "HUION Huion Tablet Pad pad" Button 12 "key ctrl y"
xsetwacom --set "HUION Huion Tablet Pad pad" Button 13 "key r"
xsetwacom --set "HUION Huion Tablet Pad pad" Button 14 "key e"
xsetwacom --set "HUION Huion Tablet Pad pad" Button 15 "key shift up"
xsetwacom --set "HUION Huion Tablet Pad pad" Button 16 "key shift down"

6. Stylus can be customized in the same fashion.
