Huion Drawing Graphics Tablet 10"x6.25" USB Digital Creative Pen Tablet Writing Design Tablet Board with Hot Express Keys for Windows & Mac - H610 PRO Black

I did a bit of digital art as a teenager and decided recently I'd get back into it. I dug out my old tablet, a Wacom Volito2, which was Wacom's budget model ten years ago - it's got a very small drawing area, poor sensitivity and it wasn't that great even when new.I thought I'd just buy the current Wacom equivalent, the Intuos Draw, but I heard good things about Huion online and I'm glad I gave them a go. I ultimately chose this H610 over their similarly-priced H640P because the H610 is bigger and a little cheaper. Although the H640P is more sensitive (8192 pressure levels vs 2048 on the H610) I've read that the difference isn't really that noticeable.Well - it's miles better than the Volito2, with perfect sensitivity allowing a great deal of control when drawing in Photoshop. The increased wide A5-ish size (more than double the Volito2 or the Intuos Draw) does make a big difference in bigger, more controlled line work. The pen is comfortable to hold and I really love the hard buttons on the side to zoom in/out or switch between brush and eraser (all this is customisable but set up to work with Photoshop out of the box). Unlike the Intuos Draw the hard buttons are arranged on one side so they're much easier to access with your other hand when drawing.Downsides - it's a little ugly compared to the sleek H640P. I've not used any other Wacom tablets so I couldn't say if they're worth paying extra for, but there's nothing missing with the H640P when it comes to the basics of a tablet. The Wacom Intuos Pro has tilt and wireless functionality, which is nice, but it's also four times the price!Ultimately for the same price as the Intuos Draw you're getting more buttons and double the surface area, which makes it fantastic for a budget tablet.

I have used an Intuos 4 for years until recently the pen broke. Given how expensive Intuos 4 Pens actually are I decided to have a look around at some alternatives.I was skeptical about this tablet at first. The specifications far outshined my Intuos 4 which I had paid £150 for about 3 years ago, I was expecting there to be some sort of fatal flaw. There isn't. The software is a little bit less shiny than Wacom's but the drivers actually WORK. As any Wacom user will tell you losing pen sensitivity and a having to restart/reinstall drivers is an almost daily occurrence but I have not experienced any such problem with this. Even if I did, there is a simple button that gets added to your task bar that will restart the drivers and open the control panel.They basically took every frustration about owning a Wacom product and fixed the problems then improved vastly and made the price suspiiciously low. The fact that this has more drawing space than my Intuos 4 still amazes me. The one and ONLY issue is that the pen requires a AAA battery to run, but that is it's one downfall.The current cheapest "Intuos" tablet from Wacom is more expensive than this. Here is a quick comparison between the this product and the lowest end Intuos which is in the exact same price range. Intuos HuionActive Area: 6 by 3.7 in 10" x 6.25"Pressure Levels: 1024 2048Hard Input Res: 2540 LPI 4000 LPIExpress Keys: 4 8The Huion is objectively better, there are no doubts about it. It's even better than my Intuos 4. If you're new and in the market for a tablet, PLEASE get this over the Intuos!

The product itself is amazing and easily give Wacom and other branded tablets a run for their money. At a low price tag, this is as good if not better than most £100-£300 Wacom tablets. Having use both I would rebuy this over a Wacom band just for the lower price and value for money.Tips and troubleshooting for people who buy this tablet (H610):Things the manual doesn't make very clear or may be a little strange or quirky.*TabletDriver Tray Icon - It can be double clicked to open the Tablet menu!*16 Softpress Keys (The ones at the top) are DISABLED by default. Enable them under Advanced Setting in the menu I just explained how to open. (Press "Enable Soft Key")*Cursor not even moving with Paint Tool SAI? - Exit the TabletDriver and Run it as Administrator, SAI requires Administrator access as of Windows 8.1.Pros:A lot of advanced features, custom bindings and highly configurable.2048 Levels of pressure works really well and require little setup.Cons:Drivers and only drivers: Drivers seem to be Huion's minor letdown, thankfully this is now fixed. The CD drivers are not current and don't work very well with Paint Tool SAI and GIMP. This is easily fixed by downloading the latest drivers from the Huion website. Some users may also have issues installing drivers due to Windows 8.1 and 10 adding an extra layer of security.

I purchased my 3rd Wacom Inturos last year and had only used it twice... and for some reason it was giving the whole 'blinking light' and not working. After trying a few things it still didn't work and updating due to Apples OSX High Sierra it still wouldn't work. It was really frustrating I even tried to get my IT Dept at work to sort it and they just figured that it was the hardware due to it not working on any of the macs in the office or even the PCs. Therefore it got sent back and you lovely people at Amazon sorted that really quickly and reimbursed me. I looked into the Huion and this looked great for the basic things I needed to do on a tablet and what a price, saved myself £100 along the way! So far... still getting a little used to it, but I am loving it so far, very impressed
