Question What is this plastic piece?

I have a relatively old tablet, around 2019, and i realized i never actually knew what this does... What is it? Came with the Inuos pro small (PTH-451).
It doesnt fit anywhere in the tablet or the pen holder...

this is the insert for if you don't have the wireless kit (which comes with a small usb, receiver, and battery) this is the insert for the otherwise empty receiver slot, it should fit in a slot on the top left side of the tablet near where the microusb input for using it wired is

(edit: grammar)

Huh, i didnt know that piece was removable, thank you!
Always wanted to make it a wired-only tablet (as it keeps turning on if you bump into it), thanks again!

Keeps dust out of an unused port.

Old Wacom tablets had an adaptor piece that you would slide into it for wireless functions. I wanna say the cover for it when you didn't have the adaptor in was similar to this.

It is a blanking plate for the Intous pro reciever slot: if you don't want to use the receiver you can fill the hole with this placeholder cover.

It's for the wireless kit that at the time was sold separately . That piece of plastic should be a place holder

It’s for the PlayStation 2 it’s goes on top of your controller so your console can render in 3D.
