HUIONInspiroy H1060P Graphics Drawing Tablet with 8192 Pressure Sensitivity Battery-Free Stylus and 12 Customized Hot Keys, 10 x 6.25 inches Digital Art Tablet for Mac, Windows PC and Android

I only started to learn how to draw a month ago and I was happy practicing with sketches on my sketchpad.I grew interested in digital art though and after learning about Krita and buying it off of Steam. I was able to grab this digital pad and pen for a cool 45 bucks, while it was on sale.The process to connect it to the computer was surprisingly simple and the drivers worked perfectly.It's taken some getting use to the drawing ability, on a pad instead of a pen, but after a week of playing with this pad and Krita. I've got a good feeling for this stuff.I haven't fully mastered this yet, but if you're a beginner like me, than this is a good starting point for trying out digital art.I'll update this in the future in case something goes wrong, but I'm pretty happy with my purchase so far.

I ordered this tablet to replace my old Wacom Intuous (First Gen) pen tablet. I couldn't see shelling out $200 bucks or more on a Wacom Intuous Medium when this tablet did "almost" the same thing without tilt. Since I don't really use the tilt feature with digital airbrushes (My old Wacom didn't have it), I didn't feel like I would miss it. I needed the pen tablet for Architectural Rendering, Photo Touch-up, hobby comic drawing, working in office applications and review markups.I did not have high expectations, but when the pen tablet arrived I was floored! The tablet seems very well constructed, the Windows driver works just fine with one small exception I will note later, and it worked with all the applications I use. The pen glides nicely across the surface, and the pen itself feels good. The pen is about as heavy as a Sharpie Pen Stylo fine tip pen, has two buttons, and is rechargeable. (I charged it once for 4 hours, and I've used it all week long without any trouble.) To help others, here is what I tested the pen tablet with:Gimp 2.8Corel Painter 8Adobe PhotoshopAutodesk SketchBookDraftSightInkScapeMicrosoft Office (OneNote, Word, Excel, and Outlook)Microsoft VisioSketchupPicsArtKritaMS Paint... and the tablet worked with pressure sensitivity in all of them. The Windows driver allowed me to assign shortcuts to all of the buttons without any trouble. I really like the pen and the pen holder, and the extras including a travel pouch and glove that came with it. I really don't use the glove. Over the years of using real mediums and drafting, my hand is conditioned not to touch the tablet (paper/canvas) anyway, but it is nice that the manufacturer included it with the tablet free!Here is the one small exception I talked about earlier:If your computer goes into "sleep" mode, it can cause the pen not to register with the device. Simply unplug the USB cable, plug it back in, wait five seconds, and it works fine. I went ahead and turned sleep mode off on my desktop computer. On my laptop I just unplug and plug in when this occurs.The only other caveat, or just possibly a personal preference, is that the USB cord doesn't feel extremely "tough." Since I like things that feel durable, I ordered an extra USB cable. I ordered the IMKEY® Premium 6.5 Feet Tangle-Free Braided Micro USB 2.0 Sync Data Fast Charging Cable For Samsung,Google Nexus,Kindle,LG,HTC,Nokia,Motorola,Blackberry,And More - (Gray) cable because I like the durability while using it with my laptop. That way I could leave the factory cable attached to my desktop.I've read the reviews of others complaining about possible driver issues, but we have to be honest here. As a long time Wacom snob myself... Wacom's drivers were never very good either. I've spent close to a decade trying to get their drivers to work with new software, operating systems, and hardware changes. Huion's drivers seem to work just as good ;) and they have a brand new set of Mac driver updates that seem to work fine on the Mac's in the graphics department. I had to take my tablet to work and let the other artists drool over my new toy too! Now if only they eventually release their own Linux drivers...Linux Note: This tablet doesn't yet have Linux drivers, but the 610Pro does, and I have been able to get it to work on Ubuntu with those drivers without access to all the buttons, but it does work and so does the pressure sensitivity. You can get the Linux driver from the DIGImend project on GitHub.My Personal Recommendation (For what it is worth):I've been using pen tablets for over a decade, mostly for architectural rendering, company logos, and drawing "naughty" comics when I should be working (Hey don't judge me here...). I would strongly recommend this tablet to others. You get a very professional looking and working tablet that feels very durable for a fraction of the inflated priced Wacom equivalent. It has a nice large drawing area (about the same width as a standard keyboard without the number pad area), pen pressure sensitivity, and if you check out the Huion blogs, you'll find no shortage of interactive discussions where the manufacturer actually participates and responds to customer questions (not poking at Wacom at all here). The tablet doesn't make the artist, and most tablets will work for anyone who has experience with digital pens, but this tablet has all the bells and whistles (minus a pen with a gyroscope) that tablets priced $200 plus and above have for half the price. One last note: Since Wacom ships with some free painting software, I'd like to note that the fine group over at Krita has a free open source painting software you can download at Krita dot org.

This might be the best cheap drawing tablet you can buy. I love how many buttons it has, it's got nice pressure sensitivity, it does all the things you need a tablet to do in my opinion. The amount of space for drawing is adequate, I wouldn't want to use anything smaller. I've been using this tablet for a year and a half and so far it's still going strong. As far as I can tell it's pretty accurate and there's no lag. The rubber on the pen is shaped kind of weird and is coming off/twisting around, which is my biggest complaint. The grip has never fit right and it's just gotten weirder over time, but it doesn't bother me enough to worry about it lolIf you're looking to get into digital drawing, get this one! If you're pretty experienced but don't need the highest quality tablet on the market, also get this one. I've been making drawings and illustrations since 2012 as a hobbyist and occasional freelancer, and there isn't anything I need from a tablet that this one doesn't provide. The only things I would improve are 1) fixing the weird grip issue with the pen, and 2) I would like the shortcut buttons to be more distinguishable by feel, they're all identical and I hit the wrong one by mistake pretty often.
