The stylus input goes to a pen device and the frame buttons go to a pad device, as they should. However, now I have 6 HUION devices, 4 of which don't give any events, I dont know if that is necessarily bad, it just looks a little strange to me.

Would they work if they were slave to the core keyboard and I gave them a keycode (not sure if it is the correct term) which isn't in my keyboard? I tried but it seems you cant assign any device as slave. Maybe I could use xbindkeys and xte as a workaround to this as in here <http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Mice-and-Pointing-Devices/Guide-for-setup-Performance-MX-mouse-on-Linux-with-KDE/td-p/517167>, but I don't want to throw in too many things.

Ah, I somehow assumed you were running latest master already. Glad to hear it
works. From your xinput output I can see that you're using the
xf86-input-evdev driver. To get the configurable buttons to work, please try
using the xf86-input-wacom driver. Use xsetwacom to configure the bindings.

The pad device appears under "Virtual core pointer" to cater to the Wacom
driver for now.
