Use xinput list to check how is it beign handled by the system

In my case:

~
❯ xinput list
⎡ Virtual core pointer                      id=2    [master pointer  (3)]
⎜   ↳ Wacom Intuos S Pen Pen (0xb819f76)        id=27   [slave  pointer  (2)]
⎣ Virtual core keyboard                     id=3    [master keyboard (2)]
    ↳ Wacom Intuos S Pen                        id=26   [slave  keyboard (3)]

List it’s properties by ID
