Unfortunately, pens/tablets with tilt support are less common and more expensive. I believe any Wacom Intuos, Wacom Intuos Pro, or Wacom Cintiq should have pressure and tilt. There are also other brands, and many of them might require special drivers (such as [this one](https://opentabletdriver.net/Tablets)), while Wacom drivers are readily available and pre-installed on any Linux+libinput system.

Bug 1501744 introduces pen support on Linux. pointer ID is 1 so it's reported as pen. We can do further fixes when Bug 1501744 lands.
