VEIKK A30 Drawing Tablet 10x6 Graphic Tablet, 4 Touch Keys and Touch Pad

Recently I have been wanting a larger surface area to draw on, normally I just draw on my phone, but sometimes it’s really nice to have a larger surface area to work with. It was a bit of a spur of the moment purchase but I decided to give the VEIKK A30 V2 a try. I originally could not get the tablet to work with GIMP, and had decided to try the tablet with a newer program called Krita but due to some help from the awesome customer support I am now able to use the tablet with GIMP. To get the tablet to work with GIMP: 1.Open Gimp, go to the edit pull down menu and click Input device. 2. Choose “VEIKK Tablet pressure stylus” - Mode(Screen) then close the dialogue 3. Select the paintbrush tool, use your stylus pen to select the Dynamics drop down menu and select Pressure Size from the options. I am really glad that I can now use my tablet to edit my gimp files. That being said, if I am just drawing I think I like using the Krita program a bit more. The tablet is very easy to use both with programs that I am familiar with, like Gimp and programs that I am still learning, like Krita. I have not used anything with pressure sensitivity before and it is taking a little time to really get used to, but it is a very fun learning experience. I like that I don’t have to manually go in and change my brush size, instead I can just put more or less pressure on the tablet. I am still not used to all the buttons on the side of the tablet but I have found that the ctrl + z shortcut is incredibly useful. The pen not needing to be charged is also a huge plus for me, I have trouble remembering to charge the one that I use with my phone, but now it doesn’t matter, I can just grab the tablet and pen and draw without having to worry about it. The pen is also a really nice size, it’s not too thin and it’s also very light weight. I honestly just always assumed that to get a decent tablet you would have to spend over $100, but this tablet has already proven to be both affordable and really easy to use, even installation was a breeze. So if you are looking for a great tablet that won’t break the bank, you should totally grab one of these.

I was in the market for a new tablet, and being a broke college student, I cannot afford to spend hundreds of dollars on something like a Wacom tablet.Luckily, I was able to stumbleupon Veikk and order this tablet for myself. I was skeptical at first because of the price, but I'm actually surprised and satisfied with the tablet! Here’s a bit of a more in depth look at the tablet if you still need some convincing. >Unboxing The tablet itself comes in a nice, slim, black box. Weighing about 2 and a half pounds, tablet and items included. Was very easy to pick up, hold, and open.Inside you’ll find: -The tablet itself inside a sleek plastic case Meant to protect the tablet when being shipped. Just open it up and remove the tablet to use. Underneath is a white box containing 1 tablet pen inside a foam pouch Pen is about the typical size of a pen/pencil. 1 type C USB A driver download card Go ahead and take it out and inside you’ll find 1 start up guide 8 extra pen nibs And 1 pen nib remover Conveniently, the pen nibs and remover are located in the same little bag. Now onto the tablet itself. Now this is simply a Pen Tablet,it is not a model including a screen, does not double as a second monitor, and it is not meant for portable single use. You will need a computer and or laptop in order to use this. The tablet has a working space of 10 x 6 inches. Around the size of a normal piece of printing paper, which is plenty of room to work on. The pen is very light weight and easy to hold and use. I don’t have any issues with gripping it. Now, here’s some PROs and CONs. PROS Good packaging. Very affordable Pen Pressure is VERY good. It feels just like you’re using a pen and paper, and you don’t need to apply much pressure to get it to work. 4 touch keys These can be adjusted as shortcut keys.Which is very convenient for artists, so you don’t have to constantly be using the keyboard. Very easy to set up The downloader card included has a link to the Veikk website where you can download the tablets drivers, for both windows and macbooks. In total, downloading and installing, took me less than 5 minutes. Compatible with most art programs I typically use photoshop, medibang, and illustrator(for class and personal use) and the tablet has no issue with it. CONS No hand glove This tablet does not include any sort of glove protection for your hands, like others do. However, these aren’t very expensive and you can typically buy one for cheap. Overall, this is a very good tablet for the price and a very good beginner tablet. You will not be disappointed in buying this. Any beginning artists reading this or someone who just needs a good inexpensive tablet, should definitely look into this.

(Image: drawing I made using the Veikk A30 and Paint Tool sai) I think the Veikk A30 would be a very dependable and worthy purchase for it’s price range. It came to me at a nice time, about 2 days after I ordered it. Something I really appreciated because I didn’t have to pine after it at all! I didn’t even pay for special shipping, it was very convenient for me. The A30 is able to be used for both left and right handed people! That’s something I found really cool is how inclusive they are about that. It’s got the Type C USB cord for your computer just that allows for this, and a little indent that helps protect the cord from being damaged. The tablet has 8192 Levels of Pen pressure, with a drawing space of 10x6 inch working area. The actual dimensions of the A30 are 13 by 8 inches! But it’s also lightweight and not too bulky or anything. I really like how I feel I could take this around easily just as I would my Huion Inspiron. The tablet has working capability with a wide variety of programs, including krita, painttool sai, And Fire alpaca! The A30 feels so oddly futuristic to me, because while it has 4 customizable hotkeys, are tappable, and it also comes with a little touchpad. They’re a little difficult to see, though, but I like them fine! The fact they’re touchscreen is just so interesting to me and I really appreciate it! It’s an interesting detail I’ve never had with any other tablet. I also like how the design for the A30 has this little hole thing that protects your cable from bending in odd ways and wearing it down. Another thing is I love the pen design for this one! It’s so sleek and professional looking. Very nice pen on the A30, no complaints. The pen is battery and charge free, allowing you to draw forever until your hand falls off. I also appreciated that because I already had the driver for the Veikk A15, I could plug in the Veikk A30 and it automatically adapted and set itself accordingly. I really appreciated that because it saved a lot of time and I was able to just get right into drawing. However, if you have a driver for another brand or another tablet, it’s important to uninstall that driver before installing the new driver because it’ll mess up your computer and functionality of the tablet. Just a general rule of thumb for whenever you get a new tablet of any kind! Now for how it performs! Disclaimer that all critiques I made are not dealbreakers, just minor inconveniences I had to deal with as no product is perfect. With the Veikk A30 I hardly notice the squeakiness that a new tablet usually has. Like it’s slightly there, but not nearly as noticeable. The tablet has a very nice response rate, I think the one for the A30 is like 250 RPS?? And the wide pressure sensitivity is very consistent, which makes it easier for having consistent line weight within the drawing! It works well with each program I’ve used it for so far, being Paint tool sai, krita, And Fire alpaca. It’s genuinely a good quality tablet that I think is a professional home hitter! A lot of companies like selling tablets nowadays, and I know Wacom and Huion are kind of the go to companies when people think of getting a tablet. But I think Veikk may genuinely be the next home hitter! High quality for such a low price? Heck yeah! Having such a large drawing space is super nice and again; almost feels like a steal for it being such a decent tablet. It’s perfect for coloring and lineart and I just love drawing with this tablet! It doesn’t respond to my hand and I love how the texture of it feels when drawing. It is very nice. I think that I might prefer the A30 to any previous tablet I’ve owned. It comes off as incredibly sturdy and dependable in quality. I don’t find a need for two many hotkeys, so I feel like using the A30 with it’s 4 hotkeys is a little less intimidating for me and I like it a lot better. It all depends on your own preferences though, and specific personal aesthetics and qualities you value in a tablet! I know tons of artists who really value having a lot of hotkeys but if you only use a few, this one might be a better fit for you. Do I recommend the Veikk A30? Yes. I really appreciate Veikk as a company in the sense of how quality their tablets are. I very much like. I think that the Veikk A30 would be a very good starter tablet for any artists who are trying to get their foot in the door about starting digital art! I look forward to experimenting more with the A30, and creating more content. With it. Thank you for listening to my review!

It’s been quite some time since using an art tablet with my computer, so I was pleasantly surprised with how well the VEIKK A30 works. It’s a great value, considering the cost and what comes in the package. I especially appreciated the drawing glove they include with the table as I’d lost my previous one some time ago. As usual with most art tablets it came with additional nibs for the tip of the pen and a device for removal. The tool looked different from what I was used to, so for fun I tried it out to see how easy it was to remove the nib with it, and had no trouble with it at all. On top of those, the package also comes with two adapters: Micro USB and a USB-C. I assume this is to not only accommodate the connections a PC or MAC might use to make it more flexible in use, but also to make it easy to use with advertised connections like with compatible smartphones. I haven't tested this out yet myself but if it works that adds to the ease of being able to take it for art on the go! Set up was super easy! A little card in the box gives clear instructions to download the driver from their site, which I feel is a good move as it always ensures you’re installing the most updated version of their tablet drivers. It recommends making sure there are no other tablet drivers already installed on the computer. At the time it was not an issue for me, but I always recommend following the directions given. Installation of the driver took very little time, and from there when I plugged in the tablet to the computer I was able to customize the ‘buttons’ on the side of the tablet and mapping of the pen. I found it very convenient and was able to set things up in a way where I could optimize the commands I use most often when working on art. (Of course, I might play around with it more later and maybe find something I like better.) One thing I absolutely appreciate was the touchpad used to zoom in and out. It makes it so much easier than reaching over to my keyboard or tapping at the button on the program with the stylus. It responds quickly and much like using the mouse wheel, it zooms in or out based on where the cursor is placed on the image. Now, in terms of actually drawing with the art tablet… let’s face it, that’s the most important part of buying an art tablet, right? Well I’m happy to say that the tablet works wonderfully! The working area of the tablet to actually draw on was much bigger than I thought it was going to be than when I initially purchased it. There was plenty of room to work, which was very pleasant considering the cost. The reaction time is very quick and I personally haven't experienced any lag with it at all. The pressure sensitivity works wonders and I find myself having to adjust to press harder because I’m so used to being cautious with my iPad when I draw. The pen is a good size and easy to grip (unlike my apple pencil, which I had to buy a grip for), and thank goodness there’s no need to charge the pen. I’ve only tried it with one art program (I use CSP), so I can't say for programs like Photoshop since I don't use that one for drawing, but there was no need to troubleshoot pressure sensitivity or anything so I could focus solely on my art, which was refreshing. I spent more time worrying about brushes I needed to use than I did worrying about something not working on the A30. TLDR: The VEIKK A30 is a great value for those who don't want to spend a lot on a great art tablet.

Tl;dr: Amazing for the price, and even beyond that a very solid tablet for beginner or intermediate artists (with one small caveat on the driver, more on that below) Pros: -nice build, very light and thin without feeling flimsy. Good size, takes up the space of an 8.5x11 sheet of paper on your desk and the active area makes good use of this space without having huge borders that aren't part of the drawing area. Personally, I most enjoy using tablets in this size range, any smaller and I get pain in my wrist, though someone who’s not using to drawing on a tablet like this may not feel the same. -pen is light but solid, and battery less!! Best part of it. Reprogrammable pen buttons are great, and comes with several replacement nibs. A lot pens from tablets this price range tend to feel cheap and flimsy but this one has a good weight to it, though the shape is nothing to write home about. No eraser nib on the end, but that’s not a problem for me as I find it annoying to constantly flip my pen over to erase instead of just using a hotkey, might be an issue for some. -tablet surface is textured if you like that sort of thing, but it also came with a very nice screen cover with a more paper-like texture. The cover is held on mainly with one long adhesive strip and was much easier to lay on than other fully adhesive covers. I've used some comparable sized monoprice and huion tablets before and honestly preferred the feel of this pen + surface better, and I far prefer this sort of drawing surface as opposed to drawing on a high gloss screen like the ipad. The included glove is also great for the overall feel of drawing, though it runs small if you plan on using it. -huge plus for me is that the pen is responsive and the driver software lets you adjust the curve pressure of your pen presses, which is great and something you don't usually see with tablets in this price range. I usually go for a very light touch rather than having to press hard on the tablet and strain my wrist, and it was very amenable to that. Pressure sensitivity feels a little different than, say, a higher end tablet but after doodling a bit I quickly got used to it and found it very enjoyable. One thing is that the driver software is universal for all veikk tablets; I think this is a nice touch but some people may not love that. - Touch pad express keys on the left are nice; I tend not to use buttons directly on tablets and stick to using my keyboard but for people who do use it, they’re a nice addition, though it could be better demarcated since its a flat touch pad. -wire is usb c that locks into place very firmly, and the tablet also came with a usb c to usb adapter. I've used tablets that are literally 5x the price of this one that don't nail this simple thing and it's usually the first thing to break on them. The wire itself could be a little longer but it's still a perfectly adequate length. And the Cons… or rather one main Con: please note that this is not necessarily issues with the tablet itself, but rather a cautionary tale for anyone coming to this tablet to use with either previous wacom drivers installed or photoshop!! Adobe only officially supports wacom brand tablets, so this is an issue that a lot of people coming in with any other brand (veikk, huion, xp pen, etc) might have. This obviously isn’t a universal experience and I know many people who had clean installs of this tablet with no issues, but I wanted to mention this for anyone who might be having problems. -you REALLY need to uninstall any other tablet drivers before even attempting a clean install of this driver, wacom in particular does not play well with any other brand regardless and it will absolutely mess with this one, but Veikk is pretty upfront about this, and honestly this is just something that has to be done with pretty much any non-wacom tablet. -I read reviews that this worked perfectly with older versions of photoshop, but I spent many hour trouble shooting both 2020 and 2021 to get pressure sensitivity at all. However, 2019 CC worked just fine with it. If you're familiar with windows 10's windows ink issues, I had to go into “Local Disk (C:)/Users/(user name)/AppData (hidden file)/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop (year) /Adobe Photoshop (year) Settings”, create a text file called "PSUserConfig.txt" and type this in “# Photoshop Use WinTab Stylus 0 or use INK Stylus 1 UseSystemStylus 1”, either using a 1 or 0 depending on if you want to use wintab or windows ink. The old way seemed to not work anymore (not the first time I've had tablet driver issues lol) but once I did this it worked perfectly. I've heard that veikk support is aware and is working on updates for their driver, which is great! Because I'm very much into their driver app and enjoy being able to remap the tablet functions to suit my own needs; this is super valuable for people who use different hotkeys and functions from the touch pad in different programs. Things I would love to see from this brand in the future: tilt support!! Honestly this is a big ask, you don't normally see tilt support on tablets this price but I was so impressed with the A30 otherwise that I would love to see tilt support in the future. Also possibly a holder for the pen, but it does come with a fabric case that also does the job just fine. Final thoughts: I was super impressed with this lightweight budget tablet, I’ve used other tablets in this range that I just simply did not enjoy the feel of or wanted more control out of, and the A30 was able to deliver on that where more expensive tablets fell short. I would especially recommend this tablet for beginners or students on a budget; for the size and price you could do a lot worse.

I would like to start off by saying I am not a good artist nor am I very experienced with many drawing tablets. Yet, before using this tablet I was a Wacom drawing tablet user myself, but with recently trying out the Veikk A30 here is my honest review on this tablet. Pros: First off I would like to start with how affordable this tablet is. While others such as Wacom have their cheapest tablet version still be more expensive than this option. I would love to describe how affordable this tablet is compared to others. With this price, you are also given a good amount of features such as the buttons which can serve different functions on the left side of the tablet and as well on the pen itself. Then of course, the pen pressure which is one of it’s primary features of this tablet is incredibly handy when it comes to drawing and fairly good. The next best thing about this tablet is how the workspace you are given to draw on. The 10 x 6 inches of workspace, in my opinion is more than enough to get the job done when drawing. The buttons that come with the tablet as well as on the pen are also very beneficial when it comes to saving time and effort. While I myself tend to use my keyboard more than the actual buttons itself, yet this feature is a plus to those who tend to use the button functions on the pen or on the tablet itself. Lastly, the setup for the tablet is fairly simple with only a driver to download. Once you have your driver downloaded and tablet ready to use you will also have the option to change the button functions and as well as other things as well including pen pressure. Cons: While cons are little to come by with this tablet a small con about the tablet is the sound the pen makes when drawing on the tablet but it is also nice to keep in mind this con this doesn’t affect the tablet or your drawing in any way or form. Overall: I found this tablet as one of the better choice tablet for starting digital artists and as well people who are on a budget. The tablet is fairly simple to operate and set up and the build of the tablet is sturdy and durable, and the extra options you are given with the tablet are a nice quality of life features.

I use art tablets quite a lot, near daily for drawing and other various uses. My old one broke and I decided to replace it with this one. I've had this one for about a year now, and I'm happy to report it's held up pretty well! Even with me not taking the best care of it, there's been no issues with it breaking or getting damaged. The pressure sensitivity is good, the pen is nice to use and lightweight, and it's very portable. But we do need to talk about the buttons. I don't generally use buttons on art tablets because the specific program I use eliminates the need for them, but I was thinking I could probably start trying to map some shortcuts here like Shift and Ctrl. Bad idea. The buttons have no click or pressure to them. If you simply rest your hand or accidentally touch where the buttons are then they turn on. This is even more inconvenient because they're very hard to see, ESPECIALLY if it's dark. You need to squint at the pad to see them. This also might not be an issue that everyone will have but the pen it came with, although lightweight feels pretty cheap. Mine has a crack on it near the top where the nib goes. Also, as a note, keep track of the nibs. They give them to you in this tiny plastic baggy that's easy to loose and I can't find replacement nibs ANYWHERE. Overall I think this is fine, but if you can find something around the same price range without the button problem I'd have to say to go for that one. I was really rooting for this one to come out good, but it's just got some major issues.

I've been a digital artist that's been using tablets of different types for about 18 years now and it's actually become my fulltime job for the last 11 of those years. That being said, I have quite a bit of experience with tablets however, I will mentioned that my experience with this tablet is entirely related to digital illustration so my review with this device will solely be related to that area of use as opposed to use for games/ect. I feel like finding more affordable equipment is important since art should never have an unreasonable entry point, a view I wish other brands such as Wacom would take to heart. Viek has yet to disappoint me and have consistently offered great quality for the price. I always take my time when giving my thoughts on these types of products because I find it very important to really put the time in with them before I can really give my full and honest input. Now, I am not a very tech-savy person so my perspective is that of your average Jane/artist that goes for comfort and "feel" and something I really like about this tablet is it's sleek and smooth surface. A lot of newer brands and tablets seem to be going for a simulated paper texture and if that's something you enjoy, by all means! As someone who started back in 2003 with a Wacom Graphire 3 (which was $200 in 2003, btw!), that sleek surface is something I started with and have a strong preference for. In my opinion, it gives me a sense of flow and control when my pen can just gently glide across the surface of the tablet. Another thing I appreciated a lot was how easy to use this tablet was; The installation process was easy and programming functions for the buttons was also a breeze! I did have a few driver issues at first, but they were solved by uninstalling my Wacom tablet drivers; I assume there were some conflicts going on, but once I did that it was very smooth sailing! If you purchase this tablet, PLEASE be sure to uninstall any other tablet drivers and that should solve issues. I do consider this a con though as I am very picky about my driver settings and I don't especially like having to uninstall and reinstall drivers if I want to use a different tablet on the same device. I actually did notice something interesting about the software as well; If you've ever owned a Wacom, you'll definitely relate to the "Tablet Driver has stopped functioning" dilemma and it's the worst when you're in the middle of working on a piece! In the few months I have been using the Veikk, it has not once given me this error and that alone is a big thumbs up from me! As I mentioned above, I am not tech-savy so I'm not entirely sure what 8000 levels of pressure means on paper, however when I was using the tablet to draw it was always very responsive and felt very smooth to work with. I was able to get some really nice work from brushes in various programs using different degrees of pressure; It especially paired nice with ClipStudio however it didn't feel quite as responsive in Paint Tool Sai. I would say take that with a grain of salt though, as Paint Tool Sai itself is a pretty old program these days. The only downside to this tablet I discovered was that it's not quite great when it comes to detecting the tilt of the pen, which is a minor complaint as I only need this function for a few brushes I use in different programs! Overall, I really enjoyed working with this tablet and my complaints are very far and few between; I would absolutely recommend this tablet for anyone fresh or just starting their journey into the world of digital art. For the price, the quality is unbeatable and even if you're a veteran, this compact tablet is great to take with if you're going out for a bit. Definitely worth trying out for the features and how responsive the pen feels; it's a great bargain and I wish Veikk was around when I started all those years ago!

My VEIKK A30 is really good and is the best tablet I ever used! This tablet has : * 10x6 active area with 8192 pressure sensitivity which is perfectly acceptable * The pen doesn’t have battery inside (Battery Free) * Can easily program the two buttons on the VEIKK pen * Easily change the nib of the VEIKK Pen * The setup is easy to install on PC and Mac * Great customers service Since I’m the type of person who really like to see arts, fan arts, anime arts, etc. I can finally be able to practice my digital drawing with the help of my friends. Also I can improve my OSU skills ;) I definitely recommend this tablet to anyone who wants to draw digitally or playing OSU. Thank you VEIKK -Jonathan

O produto chegou bem, gostei bastante da qualidade e a mesa entrega o nível de profissionalismo que preciso pros meus trabalhos, embora eu seja iniciante em arte digital, gostei muito...

جيد

Fue regalo de cumpleaños para mi nieta de 12 años. Hasta ahorita esta funcionando muy bien y ella está muy contenta con ella.

Ich muss dazu sagen ich bin absoluter Neueinsteiger. Bin aber von den Grafiktablet total begeistert die erste Stunde war etwas schwierig es zu händeln, aber dann lief alles super glatt und es macht unheimlich viel Spaß. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut und für den Preis auch gerechtfertigt. Der Stift ist auch super gut liegt auch klasse in der Hand kann ich jeden Einsteiger nur empfehlen.
