Without a doubt the best drawing tablet I've ever used!

Pros: Great quality, works with all programs, easy installation, accurate tracking, nice textured lid, hotkeys/multikeys Cons: Square USB-C connector, not very reversible Actually In Actually, I switched from a display tablet to this tablet because while I can see where I'm drawing well, I had a lot of issues with the size and angle of the display tablet. I had to keep moving the keyboard around it and never found the right angle to comfortably operate the hotkeys. Constantly looking down at him and drawing from that angle hurt my neck and wrist. So I decided to go back to using a regular drawing tablet. First, this tablet works amazingly well. Lines are straight and precise, there are no dead zones, and it's fun to draw on. It fits nicely on my desk next to my keyboard, so I don't have to constantly push things around or bend my wrist and arm to reach keyboard shortcuts. By the way, hotkeys and multimedia buttons on the tablet itself are very practical! Hotkeys support holding down, so you can hold them down like a regular keyboard key when you need to use them as a modifier or for something like a temporary brush stroke or color wheel. The media buttons are only useful for controlling what I'm watching/listening to while painting, and there's even a new layer button. In my opinion, this tablet performs better than the Wacom Bamboo and Intuos lines (non-professional). The drawing is very accurate and the setup is very easy. In the past I've struggled to install drivers for other tablets and get them to work with some of the art programs I use. However, this tablet installed without any problems and works with every program I've tried it with. I've attached a photo of some work recently completed with this tablet in case it helps anyone reading this. Without the case, drawing on the tablet is a little awkward, but with the case on, it's perfect for me, so it's nice that both types of surfaces can be used. The lid is absolutely adorable too. The only downside I found is the USB-C port. The main benefit of USB-C, aside from bandwidth, is its reversibility. However, the cable that comes with this tablet has a rectangular connector, which makes it very difficult to plug it in the direction you want (right). This is because when the cable is connected to the right, the angled connector rests against the raised edge of the tablet. I have to squeeze it tight to use the connector this way and I just don't feel comfortable putting so much stress on the connector. To be honest, using such a cable is pointless, so I found it necessary to remove the star. If I could give him a 9/10 instead of a 4/5 I would, but unfortunately that's not an option here at Revain. All in all, I highly recommend this tablet. This is the best I've ever used and the only thing that bothers me is the USB-C cable that comes with it. I've tried many tablets, both this one and tablets with displays, and I think I've finally found one I can live with. Oh, and it comes with a mouse pad with a list of different Photoshop hotkeys for you to refer to. 9/10 would draw again.
