As of typing this review I've owned this drawing tablet for little over a year now, and hasn't failed me since. Its been used on both MacOS and Windows, gone through a variety of different drawing programs (FireAlpaca, Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint… and even games with drawing features like Jackbox), and been with me as I've improved my art skills. If you're a beginner or a hobbyist looking for a small, cheap drawing tablet, or even a parent with a kid who wants to try out digital art, this is the one for sure. I especially recommend it for parents with kids, this thing can really take a beating.
However if you're a more advanced artist, this is good enough to use in a pinch but there's better ones on the market, even by XP-PEN.
PROS:
– Simple to use. You can adjust a variety of things in the driver program and even have the macro buttons change on a program basis
– Great sensitivity. The tablet was always quick and responsive, and I never felt any lag over the full course of the year I had this
– Buttons are nice and responsive. There's a nice click to them when you use it.
CONS:
– No tilt feature. The tablet is a bit limiting in this way, however it's not a massive deal-breaker in my opinion unless you've used tablets with tilt in the past and/or rely on that. I've been perfectly fine without tilt, but I can see this as a problem for some people
– Driver program is a bit finicky at times, but still manageable. Once you get it working, it works.
Last thing I'll mention is that only in the last month or so I started running into an issue where the button would sometimes send the input twice (i.e. I press the undo button once, but it undos two times). I have confirmed it's only an issue with the tablet, however this is most likely due to how often I used this tablet. This thing got really beat up but is still working perfectly fine!!!
