1. VEIKK A30 pen tablet
2. Battery-free pen and sleeve
3. Instruction manual
4. Highly breathable cloth glove (as a pad between your hand and the tablet, smooths strokes)
5. Extra nibs (x8) and a little metal tool to replace worn nibs from your pen
Installation:
I had to uninstall my Wacom tablet driver and install the VEIKK driver, which was actually very easy to do. Wacom’s driver uninstall process took twice as long as VEIKK’s installation process, so that gives you a good idea about how fast and easy it is to install the VEIKK driver. Simply follow the instruction manual step by step, and within 10 minutes, you’ll have your VEIKK tablet ready to go. Just plug the USB into the port, and have at it. For the purpose of this review, like the A15 I’ve reviewed before, I used the tablet to draw on Paint Tool SAI. I have also opened Photoshop, and Clip Paint Pro, and all of them work with this tablet.
Ease of Use:
The surface of this tablet is a bit “rougher” than the A15, but not really in a bad way. I think the one small complaint I’d have is the noise the pen makes while drawing on it, as it can get kind of annoying hearing the squeak of plastic against plastic. However, being someone that listens to music while I draw, this was not a big issue at all. Sensitive hearing? Don’t worry, this sound won’t blow your ears out, I promise.
When drawing, the pen and tablet surface are extremely responsive and sensitive, even more so than my Wacom Intuos Pro Medium. Having a bit of cushion, the pen nib bobs up and down depending on the amount of strength you put into your strokes. It feels like you’re using a high-quality pen to write something with, if that makes sense. I’d say that this is the best pen tablet I’ve used in a very long time, and I’m impressed at the quality for such a low price point. In addition, the buttons on the pen are pretty useful when you’re using it to eyedrop colors, and don’t stick like my other pen does. It’s crisp and quick, and I like that very much. One downside, however, is that the pen does not have an “eraser” side, so both drawing and erasing are done with the nib.
Onto the tablet. To be honest, this is probably my favorite thing about it: the touch area is very sensitive but the tablet itself is compact yet has a large drawing area. For comparison, my Wacom Intuos Pro Medium also has a round touchpad, but because my setup is fairly rudimentary (as space is an issue on my table), it becomes hard to reach over to my laptop and type when my tablet is in front of me. This is not a con on behalf of Wacom, but what I am saying is, the compact size of the A30 is wonderful for artists who are limited on deskspace. As well, the layout of the touchpad is easy to understand, and is very convenient for quick shortcuts while you are drawing.
Another important aspect of this tablet is just how light it is. Compared to my Wacom tablet, this one weighs as light as a small box of cookies. The cord is not incredibly long, but also not ridiculously short, so you can easily adjust your setup in more ways than one. However, do note that unlike the Wacom Intuos Pro, the A30 is not a wireless model.
Of the two models I’ve reviewed for VEIKK, I have a very strong preference for the A30. In terms of pricing, they are similar, but because I’m not a button person (A15), I highly prefer the touchpad. Plus, the design of the tablet is very sleek, and saves a lot of space. After around 10 hours of use, I’d say this is a tablet I’m going to heavily rely on in the future once my Wacom retires.
VERDICT: Despite a few small shortcomings, VEIKK’s A30 pen tablet is a wonderful model that delivers beyond its modest price point, perfect for amateur and semi-amateur artists looking to try digital art for the first time.

This tablet is a great starter tablet. It's the perfect blend of simple, yet giving you enough programmable functions to give the feel of using high-grade tablet.
The the feel of the pen is light, though potentially too light in the hand (you get used to not feeling like you'll break it) and contact on the protective film for the tablet is not awkward.
The pen/erase default button doesn't work the way one would want it to for all apps (so far I use it to teach but it works perfectly on Microsoft Word). Nonetheless, they, along with four buttons and four swipe gestures to the left of the tablet, are fully programmable. Best of all, you can save various function settings for differing apps and the tablet automatically adjusts to the saved settings once the app becomes the active window!
Hand-eyw coordination is not bad. I got used to it within 30 mins. The key is to recognize that the cursor moves/responds when the pen is close to the writing area. Allow close proximity and then your movement with be just like using a mouse where you won't need to look down at all.
