How does my Wacom tablet know when i'm pressing buttons with the pen and/or the mouse?

I just bought a wacom tablet, and i was wondering if anybody knows how the tablet can tell if the buttons on the pen are being pushed, or if the mouse scroll wheel is being used since neither of those need to be charged or anything.

    I use a Wacom Tablet at work, very cool piece of kit! They basically have digital chips in the pen and mouse and radio waves are used to work out the positioning of each on the tablet. Enjoy your new tablet!
