Good decent drawing pad

4 out of 5 stars

Good decent drawing pad
I'm only giving four stars because it did not include a good stand for this tablet. The stand that I did include was me out of a flimsy styrofoam and the moment I peeled back the sticker to attach it to the tablet it immediately tore in half despite I was very careful. If they want to satisfy their customers, they should have included a better stand. The screen for this tablet is not very wide. It is smaller than your typical keyboard for a computer. However, the brightness and contrast is a lot better than the waycom tablet that I had previously.The improvements I think that could be made on this product are:Including a better stand for the tabletIncluding a longer cableIncreasing the size of the screen but staying the same price of the productHaving more customized options on Amazon or the website for this tablet.This tablet does his job as it's supposed to there just could be a few improvements to make the customers happy.

    Really great for the price

    I've always drawn via notebook so I wanted to switch to digital since I have a gaming pc. This tablet was life changing. I use it on Krita and Gimp mainly but it works with pretty much any program. I draw and take notes with it, as then pen pressure is great. The buttons are programmable as well and the software is straightforward. Not to mention I even use it as a double monitor sometimes. I don't know the specs exactly, but i watch youtube on it just fine without any noticeable frame or quality drops. The pen can be *slightly* off from the actual brush stroke, even after recalibrating it sometimes, but its minimal and hasn't overall been an issue for me.

    Great for everyone and no limit if you take the time to learn AHK or a proper language like C#

    Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2022

    Size: 11.6 inchStyle: no standVerified Purchase

    Disclaimer: I bought this tablet as Used Good for $99. I expected the tablet to have issues, but was really surprised that the thing is practically new. I looked it over hard and there wasn't even tiny scratches, TBF it's like the last owner opened it, took it out of the packages, threw away the manual, put it back in the box and sold it. I do suggest buying a extension cable 12FT, HDMI extension cable 12FT, and USB 2.0+ extension cable 12FT if you're like me, in a bed that can be a chair/recliner/reclined bed with a 60" screen at my feet, a 43" screen left of my head, a high end chromebook and the tablet both to my right with cables running under my bed and hooked up on a extra wide vented stand.

    The pen lag is too small to notice, the only thing smoother is my high end gaming mouse with a very high polling rate, but I'm able to play OSU on it at the highest levels. I used a no screen Wacom for OSU in the past and quickly rose through the ranks to the top 200. After 20+ hours of OSU on this tablet, my rank went from 200s to 90s.

    The screen quality is great, but I suggest turning it off when not in use unless it's on a vented stand since it puts out some heat, about 50% to 60% of heat as my high end Chromebook generates. On a vented stand there is no problem leaving it on accidentally which I did, but it was cool when I woke up. Instead of duplicating a screen, I set it as a fourth monitor, and use Autohotkey to automatically move all my GFX software to the tablet meaning I don't have to calibrate it at all, it's 100% accurate.

    I suggest setting the hotkeys to ALT + F13-F20 (I use F13-24 on a razer keypad with a joystick and ctrl is for my steam controller) and AutoHotkey to make the keys multi-function. To learn AutoHotkey I suggest using Pulovers macro creator which generates code. That will teach you the basics of AutoHotkey coding which makes products infinity better since you're only held back by your imagination and skill level. For example: I have each key set-up to detect up to eight presses within X time + a hold to timeout/cancel and four levels of time delay for a total of 12 functions per key for a total of 96 functions per program with a sleek OSD and a dark GUI to edit functions/add new software and toggle/remember software positions and stuff like removed title bars and borders for more room. It pretty much makes my and Huion pad useless, even the knob since I set the bottom hotkey to function as a knob by locking the mouse in a circle that changes when the pen is tilted at x angle, though it required using C functions inside AHK to set 360 points. As for my Wacom, I set it up as a awesome gesture pad using StrokesPlusNets C# to write macros/functions. There's no need to stop using older hardware when it can be repurposed to do so much with a little code. Also, don't be afraid of C# in StrokesPlusNet, it has plenty of built in functions, most things can be done without knowing any code. Sames goes for AutoHotkey when using pulovers macro creator. The scripts can be saved as programs right from the software.

    Hope this review helps with your new tablet and ways to repurpose old hardware with or without knowing how to code/script. Last, last, lastly, thanks for buying me the tablet Jim. 🙂

    Merry Christmas

    Pretty good starter to intermediate editing tool

    Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2022

    Size: 11.6 inchStyle: no standVerified Purchase

    Once you know and understand it's shortcomings, it's a great device. I was looking for a step up from my Wacom tablet (non-display) and this Gaomon came up at a good time on black Friday deal. I use it primarily for editing photos with Lightroom so I've configured the express keys on the tablet specifically for Lr. The tablet drivers installed without any hassles. The tablet configuration program is pretty straight forward but could use a bit more explanation (not much in tool tips.) It sets up primarily for right-handed users but you can flip the configuration around for lefties. You'd also have to tell your computer to flip the display the otherway. Normal setup would be the express keys on the left while the USB/display cables would be on the right. Pen vs tablet registration are +/- 3mm on the very edges of the tablet. It will vary based on the way you calibrate the pen while you're holding it so you might want to play with calibration software and offset accordingly (make sure mouse mode is off in the Gaomon software.) I played with the calibration software and offsetted so that the pen tip and pointer were within 1-2mm of each other; this was acceptable for me to work effectively. This model color gamut was only 72% of Adobe colors and was noticeable (I do have a color calibrated primary display.) Gaomon does have a higher tier model that covers 100% of Adobe RGB but that clocks in at around $500. I can live with this difference for now until I really want that upper tier.
    I can honestly say that editing pictures this way is far more productive than using the non-display type of tablet where you'd rely on purely hand/eye coordination (can't go back now.) Spoiled! Gaomon was proactive in providing support. Instead of resting on their laurels and wait to be contacted; they reached out first to answer some questions. This was where they informed me of the 3mm offset discrepancy on the edges. Kudos Gaomon. My computer system setup is a Windows 10 desktop with dedicated graphics card. Cable provided in the Kit – on one end: HDMI/USB-A/Tablet Power; other end to tablet was HDMI-mini/USB-C. Cable connections on the computer end was full sized HDMI on graphics card port (extra) and USB-A. external power plug extension to power socket. Connection on the tablet – the port wells were deep and secured the cables snugly. If you're looking to use a tablet and don't already own one, I'd highly recommend you jump straight to this external display/tablet combo and bypass the regular tablet. By the way this tablet only responds to the pen and not any part of your hand. The kit dis come with a half glove for gliding over the tablet. You may or may not like this glove; I used it briefly then went without it. All the physical display adjustments are found via the display controls next to the power button. Just so you know, even if you shut off the display via the tablet button; the computer still acknowledges it as being on and available. Pen feel….feels like you're holding a sharpie. That's my thoughts for now. Cheers!

    The media could not be loaded.

    So, I've been using the tablet for over a month now and honestly it's superb.

    I used to own a Wacom, and honestly the Gaomon is on par.
    It feels just as comfortable to use, the screen has great visibility, no glare and the pen is impressively responsive.
    The preloaded hockey's are pretty solid, but super easy to change in the software.
    It feels nice and sturdy, with top quality design.

    Make sure you download Gaomons drivers abd software to change the screen the tablet responds to immediately.
    Its super easy. That way your cursor is only on the tablets screen while using the pen, abd not your computer monitor.
    No need to fiddle around with PC settings.

    It works beautifully with Sketchbook Pro.

    My main complaint is that you have to buy the stand separately rather than offering a bundle including it.

    If you want to start getting into digital art, and require a screen (like me) I absolutely reccomend this tablet. It costs a fraction of the premium brand, while offering similar quality, and includes accessories such as pen nib replacements, and a drawing glove.
