It's ok if it works.

I bought this a few days ago along with a new Huion Art tablet that doesn't have keyboard shortcuts so I think it would be a great addition to bring back keyboard shortcuts when I get the Pen use screen and laptop. Charge, set up and everything was fine and pretty easy with the latest drivers. I don't mind or complain about the lack of keyboard shortcuts, as I prefer to have my most-used actions and tools entirely down to a single key, but perhaps after two hours of trying to get used to it, problems started to appear. Everything was great at first, but then, as some might have said, a button here or there decides it wants to get stuck, or requires unnecessarily hard presses to activate the button when it gets stuck, and when the buttons do then it does don't stick, you will soon stop registering. The shortcuts I had mapped to them either got stuck in the command and messed everything up, or required multiple presses or pressing other keys and then reverting to the one I tried before eventually deciding to switch the mapped shortcuts and new to register will say it is EXTREMELY annoying. Why the heck are all the keys black with no backlight? The least they could do is add simple lighting to the keys, making them appear in a dark area with little to no light, so you can actually see and distinguish which keys you're pressing rather than through Touch to guess if you don't use each. A key. Overall, this is by no means a great product, but it's good when it works and I don't recommend it, but I'll definitely keep using it until something better comes along. I love and adore Huion tablets etc but this particular set of kd100 keys requires a lot more work.

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
