• Controls: Graphics tablets come with functional buttons or keys and can be set according to uses. Some models have keys on the drawing pad itself; some models have keys on the pen and in some models on both. The functional button can save time, where we can set the shortcuts of your favorite setting or do the settings so without navigating on the tablet we can work.
