Review on Wireless Graphic Drawing Tablet With 8192 Pen Pressure And 12 Press Keys - HUION WH1409 by Jeb Moorehead

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My last two Wacom models had annoying issues so I'm always open to try new products

I've been on Wacom tablets for years, I'm always looking for alternatives because while Wacom is the industry standard it isn't without flaws. My last two Wacom models had annoying issues so I'm always open to try new products. I've been on this one since April and it's performed really well, only issues I've had is if I use the wireless mode sometimes it becomes non responsive and I have to re-seat the wireless receiver to continue working. In all fairness my Wacom did this too so anymore I stick to wired mode.The size on this is perfect and I especially like the fact that the pen nips don't wear out like the Wacom ones, I literally paint all day every day on my tablets so it's annoying to see wear after a day's worth of use. The Huion pen doesn't suffer this fate, I've been on the same pen nib since I bought this and there's only a slight wear at the tip.Pressure sensitivity is there and works perfectly with custom brushes in the programs I use. In case you're wondering I paint in the following programs and haven't had issues:ArtRage 5, Autodesk Sketchbook Pro, Photoshop, Krita, Rebelle 2 & Paintstorm Studio.This tablet doesn't have the tilt support but I never used that feature anyway, seriously.when holding a real pencil or paintbrush do you tilt it in any other direction than off to the side? Any other direction seems awkward and quite frankly is a gimmick.The hotkeys are easy to configure and access while working and I'm a big fan of the buttons being just that, buttons. You don't see any distracting overlays or additional software that pops up telling you which button you're pushing.I noticed some people were having issues with this model so here are the specs I'm using:Windows 10 Proi7 4970K16GB ramGTX 1080SSDTo confirm the legitimacy of the performance of this tablet I'm attaching a couple of paintings I did while using it. Overall I'm pleased with this purchase and would recommend it to my fellow artists.
