Great drawing tablet!

The tablet did not disappoint! Admittedly, I'm new to the world of digital art, but fortunately my first attempts at this tablet were carefree. Firstly, setup was fairly easy and took less time than expected. But more importantly, after that, getting to know him was as easy as going to brunch! What I liked: As for the nifty little keyboard tucked away to the left of the tablet, I'll admit it's a pretty clever way of saving a desktop while eliminating the need for a full-size keyboard. Also, the keyboard next to the artboard itself makes it easier than I ever imagined to switch between keyboard shortcuts and use a stylus in Photoshop, which seems considerably faster than just using a mouse + keyboard or stylus. Installation. The artboard itself was nicely textured and offered a nice little drag that was almost like drawing on slightly textured paper with a grip. The recording served as a useful form of feedback as I got used to drawing on a tablet, and seemed like a vast improvement over my experiments drawing with a stylus on my old Surface Pro's slick screen. It also performed significantly better than my experiments on the Surface Pro, as the stylus stayed connected flawlessly while drawing and never "missed" or lost connection when creating solid lines. Finally, the wireless connection offered in addition to traditional connection methods was a pleasant surprise. I was able to feel like a modern take on a 1900's painting by a Parisian artist in my garden, which was quite satisfying. The Bad: Honestly, as a beginner typist, I don't have much to complain about on this keyboard. As far as personal preference goes, the fairly short indented keys took a bit of getting used to as they are different from my regular keyboard and thus not my favorite feature. But other than that, the tablet is my new best friend for cool evenings when I can relax and draw a little.
