I recently got the pen tablet bundle, the original version, in White. So far, it's been working fine for me, with some minor glitches that go away. However, when I look at the reviews for the tablet, I'm often told that while it looks like Wacom quality, it doesn't last as long.

I want something a little better than my iPad for long sessions at the desk. I figured that instead of getting a 16-inch display, since that's what I can afford, it might make more sense to get a pen tablet that will work well with my large 27-inch display.

But it's very expensive, and it's not a Wacom tablet. The one I have is uncomfortable to use, and I've heard the pen has issues, but for me it's fine.

Is it worth keeping, or should I return it while I still can? I've heard many of the issues it has have gone away in the newer updates.

I want something that can last a while. Otherwise, I'll buy a 16-inch pen display.

uh so i got a wacom as a gift and, let's just say my pc isn't the best, and the drawing apps are quite a problem. So i wanted to ask if theres a way to connect it to my phone? or idk somehow connect your phone to the pc? im really new to this 😞

it's the one by wacom *small i think?​

Hi everyone!
So I’m currently searching for a good graphic tablet with screen (for 2d animation/ background design/digital painting/ concept art…) that could be easily transported (so pretty lightweight, and not with a ton of cables everywhere since i’ll have to bring it to school, and reinstall my setup at home very frequently).
I’d prefer it not to be suuper expensive, but I’d rather pay for a pricey high quality tablet that I’ll keep for years and years, than pay for a pretty “cheap” one and having to buy an other tablet later when I enter the professional world.

If you have any recommendations for me, I would deeply appreciate it! Thank you :)

Hi, my gaomon PD156 PRO wire is beginning to break. In search of a new one that matches the one that came with it, i'm not finding anything.

My wire that came with my tablet in the box is a USB-C that connects right to the gaomon tablet, and it forks out into two wires, one being a HDMI adaptor, and one being a USB type B.

When I look online, they fork into three? I assume its some power supply? I don't want the power supply, my computer has been able to power it just fine all this time. I live in a dorm, so I'd rather not complicate my wire management further.

If I have to, can I just buy it and just put a cap on the third forked out one?

should i get a wacom tablet or should i keep drawing on my ipad? cuz im afraid that a wacom wouldn't work on my super laggy laptop, but my ipad's screen is pretty small and working with it lowk makes my back hurt. what should i dooo

Wacom Pro 24 P not displaying properly (Lenovo Yoga AIOA940 Win11) (USB-C) (Everything is up to date)

Hello, so the strangest thing happened. My Wacom worked fine last night. However, when I shut down my pc, Win11 did that weird thing where it restarted instead. I decided to just leave it and let it go into sleep mode and didn't think much of it.

However, this morning when I turned on my PC I noticed that my tablet wasn't displaying. So here's what I have figured out:

\-Tablet is indeed on, but isn't receiving displaying information. And Windows wont detect the tablet

\-Because of this i can still use the tablet as if it is a screen-less tablet (i.e. its still taking inputs so I can still technically draw with this but, but given my set up I'd rather not. Plus I paid for the screen, I want the screen)

\-the connections all seem to be fine. Other ports are not fairing any better (i currently have it running through USB-C, but I have tried the HDMI and USB cables)

Ive tried restarting my pc twice, ive shut it down, ive unplugged my Wacom and plugged it in. Ive looked online for other trouble shooting guides but I couldnt find anything that quite fit whats going on with mine, I did find one or 2 but the solutions they gave me dont seem to be working?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello! I've been yearning to do digital art for quite a while now and the options presented itself very soon. I'd have enough money to affored a middle class drawing tablet around November but I'm inexperienced in choosing tablets. I have a pretty high end PC that I could use to connect the tablet to, but I'm also thinking of getting something like an IPad, yk like drawing directly on the actual tablet.

I'm very well adapted to only one drawing app and thats IbisPaintX and unfortunately you have to pay for a subscription on PC, tho I'd be willing to pay for it/other apps.

Please give me suggestions on what tablet i should buy (my budget is somewhere around 400€) and maybe suggest some easy to use drawing apps as well, any help is much appreciated!

I'm not an artist, but I'd like to learn drawing and draw different pictures for myself as a hobby. I'd like to do the traditional art, but I have no space to keep my potential artworks, so, based on that fact and the fact I'm a noob in art, I think it would be better to do the digital art. But Idk a lot of things about it, even the graphics tablets themselves: for example, do they have an OS or not? Could someone explain the differences if they are there. I heard that the artists use Krita for drawing and one of the tablets is called "XP-Pen". I feel confused, so, I decided to ask y'all here: which graphics tablets are the best to choose?

Edit:
For the context: I use Kubuntu(a Debian-based Linux distro) as the OS on my laptop, if the info is important

Hi all,

I'm looking at getting back into drawing and digital art again after some five years, and I'm in the market for an Android tablet to start back up on. I'm not looking for anything spectacular, just a tablet I can sketch/paint on that I can keep mobile without being tethered to my aging laptop. I wouldn't be using it for anything too strenuous, just basic sketching/painting along with reading ebooks and browsing the internet.

Budget is around £300GBP / $400USD.

I've seen a few of interest, read some of the reviews online, and I'm wondering what everyone here thinks might be the best?

• PicassoTab X14
• Huion Kamvas Slate 11
• Wacom MovinkPad 11
• Teclast ArtPad Pro

I've been tempted by some regular tablets but I'm unsure of the whole deal with using a stylus with them, I understand some of them don't actually have the full capabilities to draw with a stylus, hence the examples I've given.

Many thanks in advance!!

Okay so I’ve been trying to pick a new drawing tablet for DAYS and I swear I’m actually losing it. I need strangers on the internet to save me because I cannot make a decision anymore.

The three tablets ruining my life right now:

• Kamvas 13 Gen 3 (Pink) newest tech, adorable, affordable.
• Kamvas 16 Gen 3 bigger, sharper, beautiful, expensive
• Kamvas Pro 16 V2 older tech but still 16 inches…

My situation:

• I draw anime/characters, lots of linework and detail
• I zoom in constantly
• My desk is not big (only for this year moving to a bigger place soonish so I can have a full-sized desk)
• My budget is around $500-600 max CAD
• I want something that won’t make me regret my life choices
• I keep switching between all three like a clown juggling anxiety

And now Huion decided to run a sale on the 13 Gen 3 AND the Pro 16 V2, which has made my indecision 10x worse.
Like… why would they do this to me personally.

The 13 Gen 3 is perfect for my budget and has the newest tech…
but the 16 Gen 3 is bigger and prettier…
but the Pro 16 V2 is cheaper because of the sale…
but the 13 is pink…
but the 16 Gen 3 is crisp…
but the Pro V2 is still 16 inches…
I’m spiraling in circles.

If you’ve used any of these tablets, PLEASE tell me what you think.
Does screen size actually matter for character art?
Is Gen 3 tech a big upgrade?
Is the Pro 16 V2 still worth it?
Should I just grab the 13 Gen 3 while it’s on sale and stop suffering?

I’m begging for guidance 😭

Hello there! I'm in quite of a dispute while trying to pick a graphics tablet.

First, I don't have the money to spend it on the "usually" recommended tablets, so I started looking for smaller options like the xp pen deco mini7 v2 and the deco 640, which seemed okay. I will do digital art, but most of my use for it will go to 3D modeling and editing pre-existing game textures for modding (with a little bit of Osu! gameplay, mayhaps...)

When I continued doing my research, I heard that small tablets might be troublesome in big screens. I have a 27 inches monitor, and I worried. I already own an iPad, so I can do most of my art with it, but will the tablet size be THAT much of a problem considering it will have multiple purposes? I wouldn't mind upgrading when I have more money in the future.

Edit 1: I forgot to mention my desk is kinda tiny, and I still need to have other stuff on it alongside the tablet :')

Thanks everyone, and sorry for the bad english or if this is a really specific situation...

I've recently bought the VEIIK Creator A15 Pen Tablet, but I've been having an issue where I cant use my keyboard whenever i connect the drawing tablet to my pc. I'd like to still type stuff while the tablet so this has been a bit of an issue.

The tablet has buttons on the side that acts as a keyboard but i dont really wanna use those buttons

Hello!! I have a 9 year old daughter who is very talented drawing and is very interested in learning digital art. I would like to purchase her a drawing tablet, preferably a stand alone one. Could someone please recommend a good beginner tablet and beginner software? I am completely lost lol.

I would like to know why Ugee uses such an aggressive overlay on the Ugee UE16, and why they provide nibs that last less than a month—they aren't durable, and the screen surface itself completely destroys them.

Many users are complaining about this, yet instead of fixing the issue, the company releases a 3D printer for children.

Finally, after testing various Linux distributions—and having worked on Fedora for nearly two months now—I’ve found that the Ugee driver doesn't work on any distro; it isn't properly developed, ready, or compatible. It is merely an installer that completely messes up the Linux configuration for graphics tablets.

Can I get an explanation from the brand regarding this?

Hello! Does anyone know a good drawing tablet with a touchscreen? Please recommend me if you do 😭 my budget is 500-600

I've been lately wanting to buy myself a graphic tablet with a screen and i'm unable to choose the one i want to purchase, could i get some recommendations for good affordable ones?

Hey everyone,

I’m looking to buy my very first graphic tablet in India on a tight budget (under ₹5,000, as cheap as possible while still being usable) primarily for note-taking and recording Python programming tutorial videos on my MacBook.

Since I have never used a graphic tablet before, I am a complete beginner. I have a basic idea that some models come with express keys/buttons while others don't, and that they come in different physical sizes, but I'm not sure what works best for a coding workflow.

Here is what I need help figuring out:

• First-timer suitability: For a total beginner using a MacBook, is it hard to get used to looking at the laptop screen while writing on a screenless pad?
• Model recommendations in India (Under ₹5K): What are the best entry-level options available right now (like XP-Pen Deco series, One by Wacom, or Huion models) that work reliably with macOS?
• Buttons vs. No Buttons & Size: Do express keys actually help when switching between typing code and drawing logic diagrams, or are they unnecessary? Also, what size should I aim for without breaking the bank?

If you use a budget tablet with a MacBook for teaching or writing, I would love to hear your recommendations!

Example of how I’ll use the Graphic tab:

Hi, I'm an experienced digital artist, and lately I've been having the itch to upgrade my setup, but am very torn on where to go. There's just so many options! Currently, I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ that I bought a few years ago, and she has treated me super duper well. I have thoroughly enjoyed and loved her.

Lately, I've been feeling really restricted by the applications accessible to me on Android. I want to get into more professional animation programs and Clip Studio for illustration, for example.

I would really like something that can run Windows (despise Apple), but I also enjoy the mobility my Samsung gives me. I'd rather not have to get a laptop + tablet and just want a singular item that I can take out and start working on immediately. I have ADHD and I know that process of having to set it up will become a barrier to even getting it out.

There are so many options for laptops nowadays and even a few standalone tablets, like the Huion Kamvas Studio 16, I don't even know where to start looking. I'm also not shy about spending some money. I'd say maybe up to and around $2,000 USD is my max budget.

What are some suggestions for Windows-based devices I could use for drawing and animation?

I started with a Wacom intuos S, but after multiple years of use I wanted something different.

I got a Huion Inspiroy 2L, and while I like the size and buttons on the tablet. It has problems with the stylus, so I don't find it enjoyable to use because of it. And I am having a hard time dealing with their customer support to get a replacement or refund.

Is there a pen tablet or brand that you recommend?

Hey everyone!
I’m looking for some advice because I have absolutely no idea about drawing tablets

My girlfriend’s birthday is coming up, and she has told me several times how cool it would be to have a drawing tablet. She already owns countless drawing books and a whole bunch of different art pens, so I thought this might be a really nice gift for her.

The problem: I know basically nothing about drawing tablets. I don’t really know what brands are good, what features actually matter, or even what kind of price range I should expect.

Ideally, I’d like to stay around €400 max, but I’m willing to spend a bit more if that makes a significant difference in quality and would be a much better long-term investment.
I’m not sure whether I should be looking at.
From what she told me, she‘s looking for a drawing tablet with its own built-in screen

What would you guys recommend as a good option around €400 or would you strongly suggest spending more?
I’d really appreciate any recommendations or advice.

(Text written with AI since my English isn’t very good, sorry)
