Great tray! on input devices

Excellent not very small tablet. I think it might be too big to travel with a lot but I bought it for my desktop so it's perfect for me. Despite what he says, the tablet doesn't necessarily require external power when connected to a full-fledged computer and can easily be used with a single USB-C cable with DisplayPort capabilities. (Battery-powered laptops may require additional power cords.) Note, however, that the USB-C port is intentionally smaller in size, forcing you to either use the proprietary fixed-fit cable or loop a more versatile cable up it fits. . Luckily, the Kamvas 16 comes with a cable. Unfortunately, mine is annoying. It's not enough for me to dock the star because I'm 95% sure I just got a bad cable. Also, before you buy, remember that the included cable is SHORT. This time is not even enough to move the tablet completely across the table. If you need more positioning flexibility, stock up on a spare USB-C cable and get ready to grind. Pros: - Price! That's a fantastic price for a tablet monitor, especially when compared to Wacom's (at the time of review) aging counterparts. - Great color, matches my laptop screen very well even without adjustments. - Allows use as an additional monitor and choice between mirroring and screen extension. - Excellent anti-reflective, slightly textured surface for drawing. VERY FUN to draw and color in! - The pen is comfortable to hold and comes with ten extra nibs in the screw-down base of the pen holder (I also got an additional 10 as a gift!) - Handy size but can go a bit big for frequent use. - Works on my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE in DeX mode which is fun to play with. - The pen also has pan and tilt sensors, which is very interesting with certain brushes and programs. - Hotkey buttons are comfortable to the touch and durable. They've gotten a lot better lately, but be prepared to uninstall the driver for any previous Huion-branded tablets you might be using. - Cable. Too short, and while it uses USB-C with DisplayPort standards, its own (smaller) diameter makes it absolutely a pain to replace. - It's an odd, very long size, which definitely makes it difficult to fit. I'll probably have to make my own soft holdall for this thing. The pros far outweigh the cons in my opinion and I had a great time with this tablet. None of the negatives are enough for me to consider docking with a full star, even considering it as a group. But I thought I should list them so that if they get in someone's way, they'll know in advance.

Pros
  • Provides a comfortable experience
Cons
  • Not the best
