Portrait orientation on Intuos M
Hi, just setting this up for the first time, and I don't see any option in Wacom Center (or other settings I can find) to change the orientation of the tablet to Portrait, with the buttons on the right.
1. Is this deliberately crippled in some cheaper models??? Wild if so
2. But if the answer is yes, then when I google and see these other solutions (e.g. on Reddit) that involve changing the preference text files... what are these people doing exactly, do they have a Pro tablet with buggy software? Is it worth my trying that, or will it break other settings that are locked to landscape mode?

Hi Peter L,
There are no orientation options for the Wacom Intuos, because it's an ambidextrous device. In development, portrait use cases are lowest priority because it's too niche. The tablet was not design with such a use case in mind and is made for beginners with simpler needs.
With the older Pro models, the design was not ambidextrous so we give the option to the use to use the tablet with the keys set left or right, depending if they are left-handed or not. Portrait mode is there because it's not a huge effort to provide this option since the UI is already there.
