Revainrating 2 out of 5

Well, if you don't mind constantly erasing the "hook " and "spike " lines.

I bought this tablet for my daughter to replace her dusty Wacom. There have been nothing but problems with this tablet from day one. Good Features: - The star blue tablet is very pretty and looks well made, but still light enough to travel with - The media keys have a nice feel, very useful - The touchpad can be used to zoom in and out or adjust the brush size will. The express keys work great and can be configured to your program's hotkeys. You can customize button, sensitivity, and touchpad profiles for the different programs you use by clicking the settings cog. in the upper right corner of the driver and add programs to the list and then edit them. - It may work on Android, but only some phones and tablets show you the cursor when you draw, so check the supported devices list if that's yours. Bad: - Tablet cannot be rotated to landscape mode on Android, you are stuck in portrait mode and take up half the space on your tablet. - There are some screen switching issues with multiple display settings - Stylus doesn't have an eraser, and you can't set a pen button to switch between pen and eraser modes. - If you hold Alt to select a color and then click on a color with the stylus, it freezes and doesn't pick up the stylus movement until you click again, often forcing you to select a color, that you don't want. Deformity: Something is wrong with the pressure sensitivity, all lines have small hooks at the beginning and lines of "shoelacesโ€ at the ends. My daughter has to go and erase those shoelaces and hooks from her line art and it's giving her a headache to clean them all. We contacted Huion support and while they were polite and quick to respond given the circumstances, they only suggested the following: - Uninstall the driver - Disconnect and reconnect the tablet. It works out? No - Reinstall driver - Disable Windows Ink - Still not working? Try all these steps on a second computer (it happened there too! It also happens on Android, she tested it on 3 different devices, all had the same problem as on Windows). Ok new solution, try not to move the pressure curve tool too much. a lot of! Except that the pressure curves tool needs to be in the extreme position in the top left corner of the window to even minimize the appearance of those weird lines, and she hates drawing with it at the softest settings just for those lines to appear anyway . . . . Although their appearance has diminished, they are still there. If Huyon can fix this issue by flashing the firmware/software or replacing the faulty tablet/pen and she can finally have a good experience with this tablet, I will update this review. . Until then, the buyer should beware that either the drivers or the quality control are not very good and the customer service although polite is slow to respond and there is a slight language barrier. Hopefully if you buy this tablet I will not receive a fake.

Pros

Cons
  • Doubtful purchase for the elderly
