With the new Wacom drivers, I have been able to use the pen button to act as a hot key, which is tremendously helpful. I know that with some pens, there are actually two buttons, and from my reading, it appears that one can be programmed as a hot key and the other can act as an eraser. Is there any pen out there that has more than one button, in which each button can be individually set for a HotKey of choice? This would be terrific, in my mind, especially as I use the Tablet PC with Dragon speech recognition (I would like to set one button for the "correction" feature and the other button as the "microphone on/off" toggle when using Dragon. It would be much faster and easier doing these tasks with the pen buttons than with the buttons on the side of the Tablet itself).

All wacom pens Either have:

One button - No Eraser
One button - Eraser
One Button, One Erase Button - Eraser

There are no others and you can't add any more buttons unless wacom releases a new pen and then updates the drivers.

Too bad, hopefully this will occur down the line. Just like multiple buttons on a mouse are helpful for certain folks, multiple buttons on the pen should be as well.
