XP-Pen Software doesn't detect tablet when connected via Bluetooth

us flag

I have a XP-Pen Deco MW connected to my computer via bluetooth. I have installed the pentablet software from the manufacture's website. Now, if I start the pentablet app, it tells me that I need to connect the device. It already is connected, though. I can also move the mouse using it. I just cannot change any settings as the app does not find the tablet.

I can work around it by connecting the tablet using a cable, but I would need to use the cable all the time as otherwise the settings wouldn't stay applied.

Here's my xinput. First one is using bluetooth, second one is while connected via cable:

$ xinput

I wrote the XP-Pen support and they answered that they basically don't support bluetooth on linux.

sincerely sorry to inform you of that it cant work via Bluetooth on Linux. So you can only use the USB cable to connect this tablet to your Linux computer when you are using it on Linux. Thank you for your understanding!

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
