I know how hard it is to look for tablets. This is my first one, and currently the only one I’ve ever used.
I am only a casual artist. I do not need anything extremely fancy. This tablet is good and cheap. It’s by no means the best, but it is good enough to be around a hundred dollars.
The buttons on the side, I barely use. The pen has a couple buttons on the side, I turned one off because it’s awkward to press and the other one became a right click. The pen is just fine, it’s slightly weighted and feels natural to work with. The drawing surface is not bad at all. Plus it comes with some basic art programs that I like to work with. You are rather limited with these programs, as they are the free version, but it’s not a big deal to download a better free program, or buy the full version or something else like Adobe Photoshop.
There is one main problem that I have, and I’m still not sure if it’s just my computer or if it’s the software. I will have to restart my computer or reinstall the software from time to time or else it won’t work right. This is really annoying to do. Sometimes the reinstallation doesn’t even work. And I don’t think these were built to last very long. My first one lasted jsut about two years, which is a decent amount of time, before it failed to connect to my computer at all.
All in all, for the casual artist who by no means expects to be a professional artist, this is a great tablet. (for beginning tablet users, it is also good). There’s the software problem, yes, but maybe your experience will be different. Hope this helped.
