The tilt data contained in the Bluetooth packets of an Intuos Pro are
supposed to be interpreted as signed values. Simply casting the values
to type `char` is not guaranteed to work since it is implementation-
defined whether it is signed or unsigned. At least one user has noticed
the data being reported incorrectly on their system. To ensure that the
data is interpreted properly, we specifically cast to `signed char`
instead.
