There are some issues, but I'm satisfied with the

When I first saw a review of this digital drafting table on YouTube, I immediately wanted to buy it. Adding a mini keyboard is awesome, IMO. As well as programmable buttons and a wheel. So I ordered one. I think the table is great - and I'm looking forward to putting it to good use. But I have some problems with it. First, the reviews I looked at on YouTube had a disc and printed instructions that were part of the packaging. I didn't understand these two things. No big deal - I was able to download the driver from the Huion website and a PDF manual here on this Revain product page. Second, I installed the driver on my Windows 10 laptop and nothing changed during the installation process. (the screen went blank/black and the computer froze - had to do a hard reboot) the driver and tablet seem to be working fine. However, I also want to use this tablet on my Windows 7 Pro desktop (yes, I know, it's old). So I downloaded and installed the driver from the website as before - it seemed to work, but I got a Windows message saying it was an "unsigned" driver and should be removed. So I will only use the tablet with my laptop for now. The tablet works great - I haven't really looked into the programmable controller remapping guide yet, but plan to do so soon. I have several drawing/graphics programs on both of my computers and have only tested the tablet with what is on my laptop. The tablet works a little differently depending on the program you use. Surprisingly, the program that works best is the inexpensive, open-source Krita software, which I bought from the Epic Games Store for about $10. Painter Essential 7 also worked reasonably well, but I kept having issues (which may be because I haven't adjusted the pen and controller settings). I need more time to play around with the tablet and other software to see what it's really capable of. For now - I'm very happy with my purchase. Note: This isn't my first drawing tablet - I've used several in the past. My last one was a mid-sized Wacom Bamboo tablet.
