Love it and use it for study

UPDATE I stand by the quality of this tablet. It does a great job with all the things I need. Again, keep in mind that I'm not an artist and I use it for demos and tutorials. I'm downvoting stars due to a software issue. The software used for key mapping seems to have an issue with selecting multiple modifier keys. For example, in Affinity Photo, the keyboard shortcut to rotate the canvas is Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Up. When I map this keybinding, nothing happens. However, key bindings that include just a key or a key + modifier seem to work well. I can't make it work the way I want without matching those labels with a few modifiers. My advice to you is to think about what you want to map beforehand and then plan accordingly. ORIGINALS didn't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a drawing tablet. I just needed something simple to create simple illustrations and diagrams for my classes. Tablet buttons and touch functions (sliders, volume, etc.) work as expected. The same goes for the buttons on the pen. The tablet itself is light, the grip is comfortable. Pressure sensitivity and angle work quite well and I have no complaints. My Apple Pencil iPad Pro is a bit easier to use in some cases, but I'm comparing apples to oranges. The two products serve different purposes and I don't regret buying a tablet at all. The software for this drawing tablet is really nice. You can use it to change various functions like key mapping and click behavior. For most of us who aren't professional artists, this will probably suit your needs very well. It's a huge feature-packed interface at an amazing price.

Pros
  • Nice item
Cons
  • A bit shabby
