The pen features two customizable buttons (Button 1 and Button 2) that can be programmed for various functions within the driver settings. The pen also has a nib that can be replaced when worn out.

3. Shortcut Keys: The tablet is equipped with 4 customizable shortcut keys (K1, K2, K3, K4) located on the side of the active area. These keys can be assigned to frequently used functions, keyboard shortcuts, or application-specific commands, significantly speeding up your workflow.

Pen Function Settings: Customize the functions of the pen buttons (e.g., Pen/Erase, Right Click).
Current Pen Pressure: A visual indicator and test area to check the current pressure level being exerted on the tablet.
Click Sensitivity: Adjust the pen's click sensitivity to match your preference.
Mapping: Define the active area of the tablet and how it maps to your screen(s).
- All Area: Maps the entire active area of the tablet to the entire screen. This is the default setting.
- Part Area: Allows you to define a specific portion of the tablet's active area to map to the screen. You can define this area by dragging a selection box or by inputting specific coordinates (Top, Bottom, Left, Right).

This ensures consistent drawing performance over time. The process involves inserting the nib into the pen holder hole, tilting to catch the nib, pulling it out, and then inserting a new nib until it stops.

2. Driver Updates: The VEIKK driver includes a "Check for updating" feature. Users can click this option to check for and install the latest driver version, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility with new software and operating systems. If a new driver is available, it can be updated directly through the interface.

3. Diagnostic Tools: The driver software includes "Diagnostic Tools" to help check for missing key files, which can be useful for troubleshooting driver-related issues.
