works great after all for Project Dogwaffle
Someone asked me to do a video review. Not sure I'll have time, but this will hopefully serve to share the experience that I had. It was not all smooth sailing, a bit rocky at first. But all is good, now, because I don't know what was the root cause of the problem.read on...I have been using tablets from Wacom (Graphire wireless, Intuos 2, 3 with long cable for doddling while sitting on couch and plugged to big screen... ) and other, cheaper tablets (entry levels, $20-$40 range) for many many(!) years. I have to, I am a developer of paint and animation tools with Squirreldome and thebest3d. I still have the Intuos and I like that it generates angular data (twist) with the default pen and other angle (tilt, yaw) with the 6D pen, that special pen that has the look and feel of a Copic marker. So yes, that's something I would likely be missing here. The goal for me here was not to find a tablet that replaces every single aspect of the Wacom Intuos. If you want a tablet that includes advanced angular options, and you use software that knows what to do with it, prepare to spent $200-$400 or so, and perhaps more for extra pens. Also be sure to compare the surface size.I bought this one not just once, but twice: first and foremost once for a friend artist who has traditionally been drawing pencil on paper, then uses my software to scan and colorize it, add various artsy styles, make it pop art etc...The second unit I bought for myself, thinking I need to know how well it works with my software and whether I can truly say I like it, and can recommend it to other fellow artists.I'm glad I got my own too. The very first impression was excellent. The second impression,....still good and as expected,... just plugging the thing in and see if it works, so was excellent too, it was already tracking the position, but no surprise there, the pressure was not registering yet., No surprise, I hadn't installed their driver yet. So, what about their driver? I went to the website , found it, got it. Easy peasy.When I installed the driver, I ran into a snag. First, all looked fine, cursor still moving with my hand, Click, right-click, all fine. When starting my software, the cursor stopped moving. Couldn't do anything with the pen. The mouse was still allowing me to use the software and exit too. And the touchpad on this laptop also still worked. Just the position controls from the tablet went silent, it seemed. I tried various older versions of the driver, no difference. I uninstalled the Wacom driver, thinking maybe there was a driver conflict between the two, ... still no go. I tried disabling the antivirus. No progress... I finally remember rtfm, read the 'free' manual.... just because I always remember how much effort goes into documenting how it works in theory and perhaps, just perhaps, there might be a note or comment in the manual that would help. And wouldn't you believe it, I found a red marked note: something to the effect that if you see the cursor jiggling erratically, or getting stuck, perhaps there are too many input devices connected. Hm.... They recommended a max of 2: mouse and tablet. I counted 3 on this laptop: mouse, tablet, and touchpad from the laptop. Bingo. I disabled the mouse. And Voila! Wonderful, or as the Germans say: wundervoll.Even more fascinating: I later plugged the mouse back in, and it still works. Go figure. So who knows in the end what the issue really was, what the root cause might have been? It may have nothing to do with the Huion driver vs. Wacom driver or too many input devices,.... it may be something unrelated, pure timing coincidence, maybe after rebooting a few times and getting rid of this or that, who knows... the fact is that initially, there was a problem on my particular system. And it was ONLY with my software, which uses VBtablet as the API. It was not affecting the MS Ink all, Irfanview, Photoshop, Hexagon, Carrara, Curvy 3D, or other paint and 3D programs I also carry here. As a developer I carry a bunch. Competitors or friendlies alike. I could only see a problem with my own software. So I have to also assume it was a conflict in VBtablet code. Or, dare I admit, a bug in mine? The thing that puzzles me is that it went away. In the end, that's all that matters. It works, and it is beautiful.Now I am very pleased with the tablet. It is a good value, great size for drawing. Great customization options to select what part of the surface you want to actually use, such as when you don't want to come too close to the edge and you prefer to add some larger margin to the inactive zone.Yes, it would be even better if it also registered angular data. I haven't done all my tests with that feature yet. My software registers twist angles for bristle brushes, it's on my to-do list for in depth testing. For now, I can say I am impressed, to say the least.Yes, the website could be better, calling it 'Service' instead of 'Support', but oh well, it's translated from Chinese to English, and 'Customer Service' was perhaps too long to fit, I dunno. Seems to me they're doing a better job that me at my own website so who am I to complain about website details :-)Look, I speak and read several languages, I am multilingual, but their English is still better than my Chinese. So I am respectful and I'm grateful.I found the website usable. Truly. Simple, good. And responsive. I was able to quickly find the available drivers. Several versions of them, Mac vs Win, all good.Found that there is www.huion-tablet.com even written on the tablet (lower right corner - very handy for beginners!)Found that there is also www.huion.com - very intuitive - wait, one is a redirect to the other? Still makes sense though. More options to remember it. Whichever way helps to get there.Then I found even better: as you may have read, the tablet includes an 8GB storage USB chip. I had thought to myself that's net, I can save work in progress there, take it from work to home or to a friend's computer and continue work or show it off, even play it directly onto the big screen smart tv. But there's even better: The latest(!) installer of the driver comes pre-packaged on that internal USB! Wow, how about tat for handy. No need for CD ROM. No need for even hitting the internet and check their website. Just open the zip file on the USB that appears when you plug the tablet. You can uncompress the zip straight to the same device, it is not read-only. You can also if you prefer copy it to your desktop, unzip there. Then you run the installer. Badaboom, done. I found this only a little later. But I think tis is a very big value, not sure if I'm the only one who missed it. Wanted to share that too. Plug it in, install the driver from the tablet's storage drive,... done.Yeah, in my books, that alone is worth 5 stars for initiative. Not sure if it's innovative, I mean a new concept, new idea not seen on other tablets alike, maybe I just haven't installed similar devices for years.... but for me this was one of the very positive experiences. An 'aha!' moment.Can't wait to see what my artist friend's experience will be. And whether it will help her draw, dibble-dabble, sketch and doodle even better. She's awesome with the pencil on paper. As for doing the thing from scratch in digital drawing?.... TBD. There's a little bit of a learning curve for new users. You might want to practice even outside of painting, just using it as a replacement for mouse interactions, day to day stuff, read email, surf the web, for your interactions in menus and icons and desktop and everything. This in order to get used to holding the pen upright at not too much of a low angle. No doubt about it. Because you still use menus and you still click options even in a paint program. But I think this is a good sized tablet with just the right focus on what matters most. The angular info, the rotational twist on the pwn,.... not so sure I'll miss it much. The software takes care of some of that as it turns the brush with the direction of the path of my brush strokes. That's not the exact same thing, I know, I know. But ask yourself, how many times have you twisted the brush while painting oil on canvas? In a lifetime?Thanks for reading. Happy drawings, or as we like to say, happy wafflings and howlings!

Overall Great Purchase
This tablet was (and is) excellent for the price! I like the larger size, yet lightweight nature of the device. The buttons on the side are numerous, so much so I haven't even used them all yet. The installation was super simple and it works with all my art programs. However, there is a problem with tapers. Without stabilisers like one will find on Paint Tool Sai, the tapers are not gradual and kind of ruin the effect. That said, that's a minor problem and is easily bypassed. Just know that if you're going to be doing work with tapered lines, this tablet may not be for you. For my purposes, this tablet does just fine. The pen feels great in my hand, and the buttons on the pen are also a great help. There are no delays or skips when drawing with the tablet, either. Overall a great purchase.

Love it! As a previous Wacom user I'm never going back!
I waited a few months before writing this review to make sure I got to use the tablet and see how it worked.Previously before buying this tablet I had the Wacom Bamboo Capture. Used that thing for almost a decade.Finally after all that time not only was the tablet breaking, but it was outdated as far as pressure sensitivity and other specs.I decided to try this Huion tablet as for the specs it was much more cost effective than any Wacom product.I have to say I love it! The driver was easy to install and came on the SD card inside of the tablet instead of a CD, which is great if you don't have a computer with a disc drive.The pen, though it needs a charge, seems to last forever. I charged it for two hours the day I got it, and I haven't had to charge it since (I draw for hours almost daily.) It also comes with extra pen nibs inside of the pen holder, as well as an additional baggie of even more nibs, so there should be no replacement worry.For my own curiosity though, I looked up on Amazon pen nib replacements and they were MUCH more affordable than the Wacom replacements I needed for my old tablet.The pen is comfortable to hold. However it has no eraser on the back. This never bothered me as I never used the Wacom pens with the erasers. Though if you're used to that it might bother you.As for the tablet itself, the driver installed easily and without issue. (I'm using a laptop with Windows 8.1)The pressure sensitivity was amazing, felt very similar to sketching on paper. I experienced no jittering or lagging either.I mainly use SAI but I've tested it in the following programs:-Photoshop-SAI-Krita-Manga StudioThe only issue I had was with SAI. However, I knew prior to buying the tablet that Huion can be a little fussy with SAI.However, I was able to get it to work just fine by making sure that both SAI and the Huion driver as set to run as Administrator. Since then I've had no issues and it works fine with SAI.The hotkeys were very easy to program and use, so were the buttons on the pen itself. The softkeys were equally as easy to program but I never use them myself only the physical hotkeys.I enjoy being able to save my files directly to the tablet itself as well. My previous laptop had a hard drive failure and I lost everything, so I feel good knowing that I can just keep it on the tablet itself instead of worrying about keeping track of an extra USB or SDcard, and my work will be safe if this laptop dies on me as well.Overall I highly recommend this tablet for newbies and more experienced artists alike. The feel, size, and specs are wonderful for the price.

Muy buena tableta para dibujar
Lo malo ya es que al comprarlo descubrí que yo era más para las pequeñas, pones un cel Samsung arriba de la tableta son la pluma afuera la tableta se vuelve loca y si la pluma no toca la tableta siendo detectada y lo que lo toca es el dedo lo marca como si estuvieras dibujando

Extremely happy with it!
I've been using this tablet for over 4 months now and I have to say I absolutely love it! I was hesitant at first before ordering it because of all the "horror stories" I heard from others having issues but decided to take the chance.Finding and installing the drivers was a LIIITTLE bit frustrating, and at first the pen just would not work, but once I gave up on the pre-installed stuff and went to the website it was smooth from there. Sometimes it still borks but I find it only happens when I unplug the tablet and plug it back in without restarting the pc. Basically as long as I don't unplug it it's fine, and so far there hasn't been anything a quick restart can't fix :p. The update feature in the built in program just doesn't work so I have to go to the website every time but it's not a huge deal anyway.The surface is very smooth, not rough at all, and very large! Personally I like a larger workspace but if that's not your type maybe go for something else. Lots of buttons to map as you choose and in a great space for me. Personally I don't use the soft keys at all but honestly I don't even use all the side ones, haha. The glove is a lovely addition and I can't do anything without it now! It makes drawing so much smoother. I've only had to change the pen nib once so far and it lasted quite a while, so I'm happy with that. Also the pen battery, I dunno what it is but I haven't had to charge it once. I went a good 3 months without plugging it in at all and it showed no signs of dying (I only plugged it in recently as a "safety").All in all, I'd say well worth the money, especially for newbies to tablets like I was! Works perfectly, rarely have issues, and can't see myself without it now <3

Don’t hesitate, buy this NOW!!!
My god, this tablet is amazing. The packaging to start off with was beautiful, and it came with everything you need. The tablet itself if sleek and lightweight, perfect it you want to rest the tablet in your lap or even hold it. It came with a glove but it can be a little tight or small if you don't have baby hands like me. It also came with what looks like months and months worth of replacement nibs for the pen. The pen doesn’t need to be charged or need batteries, which makes it lightweight and comfortable to handle. Its super easy to install as it comes with basic instructions. All in all, great product for beginners, easily worth the price, and a quick learning tablet for beginners like me.
