Huion H420 USB Graphics Drawing Tablet Board Kit

I was very excited to receive this item ever since I started looking into digital painting. I was amazed to find a product like this for so cheap, and it seemed appropriate for someone who hasn't used a digital drawing device before.Upon ordering it, there were some difficulties. The first shipment failed to reach me at my apartment (for reasons still unbeknownst to be) -- though on Amazon, it was listed as delivered. I contacted Lightwish through the Amazon feedback option (because unfortunately, the China Post does not take calls in English) and was eventually able to get another shipped to me. The customer service representative was very helpful and prompt, and I was able to get another unit shipped to a local UPS store within a week.Upon receiving the device and opening it up, I was really impressed. I was so excited, I didn't even read the instruction manual. I inserted the CD, installed the driver in just a minute, plugged the pad in, and it was ready to go. It essentially just replaces your mouse. which, at first felt like I was driving a car for the first time, but which I eventually got used to. It took some getting used to as far as holding the pen appropriately and not pressing the two buttons on the side.Immediately, I launched my totally outdated Photoshop 7, praying that I wouldn't have to update to use my new device. Astoundingly, the tablet not only works well in Photoshop 7, it appears to take full advantage of some default features of the program. For example, by default, one of the pen buttons switches the cursor to an eraser, and the flow of the brush can be changed to use the full range of pressure settings on the pen (which I only discovered recently) making it feel much more like an actual pen or pencil.I haven't fully learned all of the applications of the hardware, but so far, even with just a simple brush tool on Photoshop, I have been totally astounded by how this product augments my artistic abilities and expedites the painting process. I will continue to update as I learn more about it. Also, watch out for eye strain -- I am not sure yet, I think I may have developed some soreness in my eyes from the first week of using it. It couldn't hurt to take breaks/do exercises in between drawings.

I got this tablet last week and have been using it to draw every night since! The driver was easy to download for those who don't have a CD drive. Pressure sensitivity settings are available to adjust through the driver along with settings for the express keys. So far, I have used it with Adobe Photoshop CC and it works great. The 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity allows for some nice fluidity in lines (though, for those who've used higher-end tablets with more levels will definitely notice a difference).The size of the tablet is convenient and portable. I have a small desk so it's perfect for my workspace. It takes a few days to get used to drawing on such a small surface but I was able to get accustomed to it pretty quickly. Can't say much about the durability just yet but, so far, it hasn't given me any trouble. Haven't quite found a use for the express keys besides using one as an escape key but I know others use it to save, undo, etc.Overall, a great first tablet for beginner digital artists and at a great value too. I included one of the first drawings I made using the tablet.

Exactly what I have been looking for. Occasionally sign a few PDF files in cursive style, and input some Chinese Characters in Word, Web searches. Previously, I have to input Chinese characters in my tablet, such as Kindle Fire, then email myself. Amazingly, I was unable to find a simple device to do these simple tasks until now. I am not an artist, I only have simple needs, other tablets are too complicated for me to use. After install the driver from the Huion web site, everything is good to go, very easy to use. Although it includes a CD, but I always try to download from the manufacture directly, to insure the driver is the newest version.

The tablet works for the most part. It doesn't feel overly cheap and the buttons have a nice click to them.There could be a bit more resistance when the pen meets the pad, but that's just personal preference.So far, both Gimp and Aesprite have issues with pressure sensitivity. And by issues, I mean that there is no pressure sensitivity at all. I don't expect that Aesprite would have a vast implementation of pads to work with, but Gimp "should" be working, even if it is running in Windows 10. I've heard rumor that the sensitivity works well enough in Linux and that for the Windows version, there is an issue with the drivers that prevents it from working properly. This is disappointing.Pressure sensitivity works in the tablet setup screen, so I know the pen is functioning as intended. Further testing is required and I'll check other apps. I don't have photoshop, so I'm unable to determine if that's working or not.

I used to purchase VisTablet pads for basic design work which were very efficient and inexpensive. Unfortunately, that brand disappeared. What was my plan B? Well, afer researching a bit and trying a couple of brands such as Bamboo and another one I can recall at the moment, I ended up finding Huion. The design of this model in particular is great. I was impressed the minute I opened the box. It is user friendly and did not require special installation of drivers to make it work if you use Windows 7 or above in your system. The pad is sturdy and compact and I loved the fact that I was able to use old battery-operated stylus that I had from my former Vistablet device. The pen design is good. I found unnecessary the use of a clicker to turn the pen on and off since, after testing it a bit and correct me if I am wrong, it will consume the battery charge mostly if you leave it on top of the pad. Other than that, I loved it.
