No, there's no limitation in that aspect - because KWin will group it as a
single device for us. The problem is that your device is not truly a tablet pad
device, it's a keyboard :-) (Aka, it's emulating a keyboard.) For Huion there's
a tool somewhere I believe that switches it from keyboard-emulation mode to
something we can actually use, but that's something you'll have to figure out
for your model of tablet.

See above.
