This is a great graphic tablet for the price. I recently purchased another brand, very popular brand, as a gift for my little sister and I have to say that even though her graphic tablet was more money than mine, I believe mine is a lot better and I should've gotten two of these instead.
I wanted to add a picture of something I drew to help support my review but, unfortunately, I have lost quite a bit of my artistic ability over the years and am trying to use this to get back into the habit of drawing with my wife (she sketches daily).
I don't want to really get into anything spec-wise since you can read those right in the description.
First, I wanted to give the only two things that disappointed me about this tablet.. it didn't work with my laptop out of the box due to windows compatibility (I had 7 installed, min is 8) and it doesn't work with my android. The reason I'm not rating lower than 5 stars for either of those is because I know that on the Huion website as well as the description, it lists the compatibility as Windows 8, 10.. and some stuff for Mac so that's not their fault. Also, it is not common for a graphic tablet to work at all on an android so I was just hopeful for that one (portability reason but battery would be horrible).
Now, what I do like..
Response time on this is great- There is absolutely no lag time from the graphic tablet to the screen excluding when you have the size of your brush set really huge and even then, that's the program freezing up my six year old 1.6 dual core laptop, not the Huion tablet.
Size- This one is in the description but I just wanted to mention that this is a larger tablet and my old tablet was a small 3×5 (??? Maybe..) one and although it worked okay for the time, I feel like a larger graphic tablet really makes it feel more natural.. I can't word this right.. but basically, how much you move your hand, draw on the tablet, is much closer in size to your screen, in other words, drawing on a 3×5 graphic tablet might feel more natural looking at a 4×6.5 screen but nobody wants to use a tiny screen like that. I can lay this tablet down over my keyboard on my laptop and it's pretty much the same exact size of the bottom part of my laptop.
Lastly, so I don't drag this on too long.. buttons. At first, I wasn't sure how I would ever use 8 buttons on a tablet. Two on a pen, yeah, but 8 on the tablet? No.. now, I realized how useful they all are. Something specific I think is cool, using one button as Ctrl will actually allow you to remap it as 14 buttons pretty much. What I mean is, I use the two buttons to increase and decrease the pen size to do just that but when I hold the button I assigned to Ctrl, I can hold that and press the resize button and rotate my canvas instead.. I'm not sure if this is normal for a tablet but I love it.
Anyway, I think this is well worth the money and I like it so much that if I do decide to buy a graphic tablet with a screen in the future, I'll stick with Huion.
