GAOMON M1220 Graphics Drawing Tablet 13 Multimedia Keys 10 x 6.25 Inches Android Support with 8192 Pressure Sensitivity Battery-Free Pen for Digital Art

This tablet is fantastic. Build quality is great, it is made out of plastic, but it feels very rigid.The tablet was very easy to set up as well. I just had to download the drivers from the website and it worked perfectly. That is a first with any tablet I've ever owned.The driver suite is very good too. You have very good control over the pressure curve in the settings, as well with the express keys on the tablet which I know is very useful to a lot of people. No calibration needed too, it was perfect out of the box as it is a non-screen tablet.It draws very well too. There was basically no lag on the pen which felt very nice. The only thing I thought could be improved is that the tablet doesn't have much texture to it, so the pen glides across very easily, which I personally don't like, but I know some other people may like.Overall though, I don't have any objective criticisms with this tablet. It works how it's supposed to and exceeds in some places. Definitely better deal than any Wacom tablet. I recommend this to anyone starting out in art who don't have too much of a budget. Great value tablet!

First, the good. I bought this as a gift for a relative, and this is a relatively full featured tablet. I have another tablet of my own that lacks the scroll wheel and media keys, and after setting this one up and testing it, I'm jealous of those features. The wheel in particular can serve as 6 hot keys because the play button in the center cycles between 3 settings, so you can use it for multiple controls like zoom, brush size, and undo/redo. Had I known this beforehand, I definitely would have bought one like this for myself. You can also disable the media keys, which is useful when you want to avoid accidentally hitting them. Overall, once you get everything working as intended, it's a great tablet.The problem is that like so many cheap tablets, the drivers seem to be really finicky. The first time I installed the latest drivers, the pressure sensitivity worked in the driver interface, but not in Krita, regardless of what I did with the WinTab vs. Windows Ink settings. There was also another problem where the cursor would stay stuck after a stroke, so you couldn't see where the pen was on the page until starting a new stroke. Setting everything to WinTab fixed that second problem, but not the pressure issue. Both of these problems were reported online by multiple people with no resolution other than completely uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. The common thread amongst Krita developers seems to be that most problemsare due to bad device drivers, and I am inclined to agree given that I eventually resolved the issues without uninstalling Krita.If you run into issues, I suggest uninstalling the drivers, rebooting the system, then reinstalling them. I tried this process without rebooting and the issues still persisted. It wasn't until I rebooted between uninstalling and reinstalling drivers that they were resolved. Also note that I uninstalled the latest drivers, then reinstalled older drivers to get it working, then uninstalled those and reinstalled the newer drivers, and everything still worked. I didn't go through the trouble of isolating whether the older drivers had anything to do with the resolution. I'm assuming not, but if you are still struggling, you might consider trying different driver versions. It really shouldn't be this much trouble to just get basic advertised hardware functionality working, but it is what it is. This was all on a pretty low-end Windows 10 device.

I have never been too into digital art, but when I decided to start at the beginning of this year, this tablet was my top choice (and still is)!The pricing is absolutely a bargain, and the package comes with everything you would ever need; my favorites are the no-smudge glove and the tablet pad that has a huge list of keyboard shortcuts. I also want to note that I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the device when it arrived. It's not *huge,* so it can fit on most desks, but it's big enough so that you won't need to worry about feeling crammed as you're drawing.In terms of functionality and how it works, I found it very easy to learn to use the tablet. It comes with a user manual, and grants you access to GAOMON's computer app, which allows you to quickly set or change the keybinds of the tablet's buttons. The stylus is also super smooth, with little to no delay when you're drawing.Overall, I was super satisfied with this purchase; it's definitely a great first step into the world of digital art!

First, and foremost, the price you're paying for this tablet is /phenomenal/. Not only is the tablet itself HUGE (at least, to me, seeing how I've had a small beginner's tablet since college), but the presentation, and peripherals you get with it is really amazing. It comes with a nice cover for your tablet itself, an equal sized mousepad that has helpful shortcuts (Photoshop only), and even a carrying bag! It's only big enough for the tablet itself, but it comes with smaller holding pouches for replacement nibs, and the pen itself. There's also a tablet glove, should you use/need one, included.But, that's just the beginning. The tablet itself is super sleek, and it feels really professional. The firmware you install with it allows you to customized the six buttons, as well as the bigger button between them. You can adjust your pen pressure, sensitivity, and even adjust the settings per program that you happen to use it with. Setting up shortcuts is literally as easy as a few clicks. Even better, depending on the program you're using, the hot bar at the top of the tablet is ultimately one of the best things I've ever seen. I don't have to tab to my music in order to pause, or skip; all I have to do is press a button at the top. I don't even have to move my other hand to save my work, because there's a save button on the top!I've only ever owned one small Wacom Bamboo tablet from college, and after thoroughly looking through a forest of other tablets, I'm so glad I found this one. This is honestly, truly worth 100% of every penny you're spending.

Im still trying to figure out how to connect the shortcut keys to my programme.
