GAOMON S56K Drawing Graphics Tablets Ultrathin OSU Tablet 6 x 5 Inches Flex Pen Tablet Small Size Signature Pad

I have purchased this tablet after I have experienced wrist issues with other tablets. This tablet's advertised thinness was something that was appealing because of it. After using this product for almost a year I have become very satisfied with the product, especially for its price. As an Osu! player, which the product is advertised for, I have not had any issues that make this tablet any hassle to use. Although the official tablet driver is somewhat inconvenient when it comes to minute adjustments, with a new driver released by a player in Osu! the tablet area configuration has become much easier and much more convenient. Also for players who hover, the tablet has a very high activation point (Maybe not the right term) so there is no concern about raising your pen too high, and the tapping on the tablet works with great accuracy without any noticeable latency. Even outside Osu! I use this tablet to navigate browsers or even draw occasionally.On to the customer service. After about maybe a year I started experiencing some sort of jittering while using the tablet. Unaware of my own fault, I contacted the customer support for help. Turns out, Gaomon has a liveline chat in which they can offer instant help even during worktimes. Very quickly I received a response with several possible options causing the problem and the possible solutions to them. After every suggestion had failed, the customer service offered that perhaps they could send a replacement tablet. This turned out to be unnecessary as it turned out my issue was, quite embarrassingly for me, a failing USB port, and nothing with the product itself. Few days after resolving the issue the customer service once again reached out to make sure that the tablet was not causing any issues after the fix.One of the concerns I have seen throughout the reviews was that the pen was quite heavy compared to other tablets on the market. This is completely opinion based so this may differ from others, but in my opinion, the pen feels quite nice. As seen in the picture (Gaomon Pen on the left and a pen from Wacom CTL-470 on the right) it is somewhat larger in size and a little top-heavy. However, this is nothing that will hinder your usage. If you feel unsatisfied with just the pen, you could always purchase a Huion rechargeable pen which is listed under the "Frequently Bought Together" section on the product page.Overall, I am very satisfied with the product, especially for the thinness of it, which they seem to prioritize, as it allowed me to relax my wrist on the tablet while using the tablet. The tablet's surface has a smooth feel to it so no tablet covers are necessary for players who drag their pen. The customer service is very friendly and will work through every possible problem you may have.

This is a review coming from an osu! player's perspective. This tablet advertises as an input device for the game osu! and claims to be a good alternative for playing the game with this instead of the mouse. So I decided to pick one up and test it myself.From what I found, it is great for a beginners tablet but not much more than that. Functionality wise, it is great. Pen works, almost no noticeable latency between movements on the pen and the cursor on screen which is great; however, this does fall short when it comes to its drivers and hardware.Most osu! players do not use the "full area" of the tablet and want to customize it to a certain size. With the drivers provided with the Gaomon S56k, there is no way to set a specific numerical value for a tablet size. Instead, you need to estimate and draw your tablet area without the certainty of having it perfectly assigned to what you would like.My second issue is the biggest for me, and it is the reason why I give it 3 stars. The pen is just way too heavy for an osu! player's long term use. Movements with the pen in the game are fast and quick, but with the very heavy and thick pen, it makes it difficult to find a comfortable pen grip along with having strains in your hand after long term use.I still give it some credit, because it does what it is meant to do, and for a really cheap price. Of course it is made out of cheap plastic and probably cheap materials, but that's what you can expect from a company that sells stuff for cheap. Overall, good tablet, but not perfect for osu!

Gaomon tablet is good. Bought two in the past six month, different models. The only issue is a manufacturing issue. The cable connect to the port of the tablet doesn't fit well. always coming loose. The is clearly a design issue, not seller issue. I have had to put electric tape on both Gaomons to keep the cable from falling out.Update: It has been about two years since I bought my Gaomon tablets. Although I still have the one issue with my tablets. (I was offered an exchange by Gaomon) I decided to keep them. As far as creating great graphics, I prefer these Gaomon tablets to the more expensive Wacom. Not much lag, easy to use, easy to learn. Like I stated, I was offered plenty of return options from Gaomon. I spoke with one of the design consultants and they understood the problems and most likely have handled it. I still use my Gaomon today as does my daughter use hers.This seller offers great customer service and Gaomon official does as well. Great Tablets!

I would give an 5 stars but sometimes it acts up. Other than that, I love my tablet. It works both my XP and Windows 10.Edit:I originally gave this product a 4 star. But after 6 months, I will have to change it to 2 stars. Don't get me wrong, I love how thin my tablet is but this tablet is crappy. It very sensitivity. I would not have bought this tablet if I thought you need a battery for the stylus. Leave the stylus idle too long, and it becomes non-responsive, to fix this I have to restart my computer. Looking for another tablet.

Have been using this tablet for a little over a month in a half and its an awesome tablet. Honestly just bought it for osu! (saw a YouTuber, BeasttrollMC, recommend it and trust him so went ahead and bought it) but have used it to draw some art as well and its superb for both... or rather it's good for anything even using it as your normal mouse!Love the feel of the pen and got accustomed to it quickly. Just gotta remember to install the driver for the tablet so you can adjust the area you're going to use to draw or play osu! with.I did however drop my pen once, landing right on the nib and I would like to assume I broke something inside because it was rapidly clicking by itself. I changed out the nib with the extra nibs and tool provided with the tablet but it didn't fix it. I fixed it by twisting and moving the nib around while it was inside the pen and eventually got it to stop. Basically! Never drop your pen ;_;

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  This is an affordable option for beginners or even advanced graphics designers who need something to carry around. The size and weight of the whole package make it ideal to take on the go.The package includes the tablet, a pen that operates on an AAA battery (included), a mini USB cable, drivers DVD and a manual.I ended up downloading the drivers because my machine doesn't have a DVD ROM. The website for the drivers is printed on the DVD so it was easy enough to find. Once you install the drivers and the application, you can go in and configure your pen and tablet.You can customize the two buttons that are in the pen (you can select from a list of options, I chose right and left mouse click), and you can play with the pressure sensitivity of the pen. Another option in the settings is to choose the working area. You can essentially make the tablet's active area the same dimension/ratio of your monitor. That way, you can just place the pen on a certain area on the tablet, and your mouse cursor will show up in the corresponding spot on the screen.I used this with photoshop (I am not a graphic designer, but I edit and produce videos) and sometimes, I need to work on an image to tweak it or even some parts of a video where I need to add some shapes and lines, and the S56K is both affordable and gets the job done for me.Now I understand that if you work on complex graphics and design is all you do, this might not be the right tool for you, but as I mentioned earlier, for a beginner, a casual user or even an advanced user who needs something on the go, this is a solid choice!

I bought this tablet after watching tokaku's review of it, and I mirror her opinions pretty accurately.This tablet feels like drawing right on the desk, not like drawing on a tablet. The thin surface makes a hand rest completely unnecessary, leading to a sizeable ratio of working area to total surface area.It flexes, but I feel like that was really more a consequence of its dimensions rather than something Gaomon meant to do. I wouldn't trust it to roll up into a bag or something, but it should carry around a bit easier with less protection than a similarly priced rigid tablet.Gaomon's drivers and pens are produced by Huion, and they're about what you'd expect. The drivers are a wee bit behind upstream Huion drivers, so some features may be missing, but I hardly noticed.The pen is the weakest link for this tablet. It's Huion's P68 battery pen, and while the heft is nice, its glossy surface leaves a lot to be desired, and the grip area is very small and cramped. If you intend to use this tablet for any serious work, an upgrade should be considered. That being said, using Huion's pens means that this tablet also works with their far-better P80 rechargeable pen, which is a $20 investment to also have the P68 as a backup if it breaks. That takes this thing from a 6/10 to an 8/10 pretty easily.Overall, Gaomon have delivered some serious value here, and whether you're an Osu player who just needs a leg up, or a student artist looking for something that'll survive in your backpack and not bust your bank account, Gaomon's S56K is definitely worthy of your short-list.

The tablet's bendability meant that there was a bit of a gap between the top surface and surface inside, which meant pressing with the pen was inconsistent/you had to press much harder than other tablets. It was not good for Osu because it was too big and adjusting the area would mess with the screen ratio. The gap between the two layers would also cause me to unintentionally touch the surface during gameplay, and with the inconsistency sometimes would cause a click. It is much more suited and works well for drawing/writing :)

This is my 3nd tablet after looking through 20 or so drawing tablets on amazon. The first one didn't work out so well because the pen was literally hurting my hand after a few hours. I decided to give this a try because the pen has a rubber grip that most others don't have and the fact that this one appears to be flexible (easier to carry I hope) and it's also cheaper than most. The pen is really comfortable (for me anyway) comparing to others I've tried in the past. Unfortunately its inability to provide 'smooth' and 'continuous' (i.e. non-bumpy) drawings is a deal breaker for me.I've owned Wacom and other tablets in the past; though, I'm not an artist (amateur or otherwise). I mainly used it as a hobbyist sort of things and mostly for work where I needed to collaborate with others involving technical drafts (non-detailed but objects with complex relationships) or the alike. I've played games with it but really not that often.What caught my attention was the pen which has a rubber grip that most others didn't have (why on earth not?) and it being flexible thinking I could just roll it up and wrap it around the pen etc. Well, I was right about the grip but wrong about its flexibility. It was really comfortable (picture 3/4) for me to hold it (and perhaps one of the most comfortable ones I've tried in a while); therefore, it's really easy and natural to write (or draw) with. The tablet itself is about the right size (picture 1) for me and it's got a good surface to write with as well. However, it's NOT flexible as I thought it would (picture 6); I can't actually bend or roll it beyond 90° or so without [possibly] breaking it. The overall look and feel with the tablet and the pen is good and they appear to be well-constructed without any noticeable defects.Specs-wise, it's below what most (or at least many, but it's also less expensive than most as well) others offer, particularly the RPS (report rate) and pressure levels. I don't care about the pressure levels since I don't use it as an artistic tool. The installation was straightforward in Windows (as it really should; otherwise it's a failure to me). It's slimmer than most but it does utilize Micro-USB (picture 2) which is somewhat outdated. The pen is an 'active' pen requiring an AAA battery to operate. Some ppl don't like the extra weight from the battery but I don't really mind it much. As a matter of fact, I prefer a bit of weight to mimic the feel of ordinary pens.There were extremely significant and frequent delays when during my test drive and I'll explain what I did so you can be the judge yourself (maybe it's not something you'd care about);Note: there is a minimum (slow) speed that I can move the pen across the tablet before the pen detects a different action. I can't really draw VERY slowly because the pen would register that as a different action (much like long-press on your phone) and I wouldn't be able to draw at all.Picture 7 - horizontal lines test (i.e. from left to right). This is one of the 'actions' I'd likely to perform frequently to indicate directions, relationships, cycles, and repetitions amongst the objects that I work with. The speed I was drawing the lines with was consistent with how I'd normally draw with a pen (as aforementioned, the pen is comfortable enough that I could almost write normally). Based on the results, it failed to register MORE than HALF of the lines drawn. It detected the starting point when I pressed the pen down against the tablet but failed to carry it forward because the pen had 'left' the tablet before it had the time to do so. The average length of these lines was about 5 - 8cm (distanced moved) on the tablet.Picture 8 - ellipse/oval shapes test. Here I was trying to draw oval shapes continually one after another to test its sensitivity or accuracy. While I don't really require any high degree of either characteristics, this test showed that the pen was NOT capable of detecting movement fast enough to register various locations of the pen (as it moved across the surface of the tablet) in sufficient quantities such that it can draw a 'curved' shaped from A to B rather than drawing a straight line from A to B because it failed to register enough of these 'points' in between A and B.Picture 9 - oval shapes drawn at a faster speed. The left and right 'edges' are clearly misrepresented here since I can see way MORE sharply turned lines (usually vertical ones) because it failed to detect the curvature. The reason for this to occur at left/right (as opposed to top/bottom) is because they had narrower angles which meant tip of the pen moved larger distance (at faster speed) in the same amount of time it normally would for a straight line. I lost count on how many mistakes it made for this test.Picture 10 - individual oval shapes test. Here I was drawing an ellipse at a speed I normally would on a piece of paper. Starting from the left I was drawing at a normal speed and progressively slowing it down hoping to determine at what speed could I draw a full circle/oval without it missed anything. The blue dotted lines showed the part where it's missing and instead it drew a direct/straight line between 2 points where it did register. I have no way to accurately measure how slow I was drawing starting at the 6th but I can tell you it's not natural (for me anyway) and not something I would want to do.Picture 11 - written text test. I was trying to write "Screen Sharing" by only looking at the tablet just as if I was writing with a pen and paper so I know exactly the positions of the [tip of the] pen at all times, again, exactly how we normally write. I also included a sample of what I wrote with a pen on piece of paper for comparison purposes. For these tests I was writing SLOWER than normal btw and NOT a single attempt registered all the strokes without missing anything. The one in blue box was written by holding the top-button without touching the tablet; this allowed me to write/draw continually but of course I can't actually 'break' because the pen wasn't in contact with the tablet to begin with. With this, I could actually complete the writing without any missing parts; however, this is not feasible because I can't always do this.Note: I also was NOT able to draw a line shorter than 6-7mm on the tablet; it NEVER registered such distance except the starting point which registered as a dot (as seen in picture 7). If I tried to draw such lines at a slower speed, it'd register the action as 'long press' which I'd no longer be able to draw normally.Based on these tests, it'd appear to me that the pen was NOT (or the tablet; can't be certain which is doing what) reporting the positions of the pen fast enough in order to track the whereabouts of the pen at all times so that it had to make up for the missing/gaps by drawing a straight line between 2 points to cover up the fact it's missing 'data'. This pen is rated at 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity which I don't personally require; however, the claimed report rate of 200 RPS doesn't seem to be true (unless I happened to get a lemon). With 200 RPS, it would mean that it's capable of tracking location changes every 5ms.This got me curious and I had to perform another quick test to make sense of all these and here are the results (highly individual dependent);I was moving the pen and drawing a horizontal line (from left to right) at a rate of roughly 31 ms/cm (or 1.6 mm/5 ms). Basically I moved the tip of the pen across 4cm distance in about 124ms. Again, I have no fancy slow-mo/high speed camera or anything so these are rough figures but it does give me an idea because this applies to me. Based on this, it took about 20ms for me to draw/move 6.5mm and somehow this tablet/pen was NOT able to properly detect and register this when I tried to draw a line about 6-7mm in length. What this meant to me is that it doesn't appear that it has 200 RPS as advertised; it's at MOST 50 RPS because it couldn't even detect the pen had moved 6.5mm in 20 ms. In contrast, I didn't have similar issues with another tablet/pen (and it has 5080 LPI as this tablet does) that I tried which claims to have 266 RPSIt came with 4 nibs which is less than most others and it didn't include a pen stand/holder which is something I'd like to have. The flexible nature the tablet means it's less prone (I hope) to accidental damages which is always a welcoming attribute.All things considered, it didn't deliver what I need it for; thus, this is not something I could make use of given how it performed. It's really a shame because I loved the pen as it being one of most comfortable pens I've tried recently.*** It's much appreciated if you found the review helpful, please click on the Helpful button below ***

This is my first graphic tablet that i own, i have used bunch of Wacom tablets which were not in my price range as of now but i am not gonna regret that i chose GAOMON as my 1st. Its pretty affordable and does what it says it would do, right on the money. i love products which are affordable and does the job as well. the only thing i found little bit in the sloppy side is the software/driver which comes with the product it does not give you a lot of options which is why i couldn't give 5 stars and i have had some trouble with it personally(had to restart it a couple of times now and then) other than that it is a pretty smart design and durable(i am a rough user).Pros:1) Cool design2) Very affordable and compact3) Extra Nibs and battery(adds the attention to details)4) Performance is top notchcons:1) Does not have an impressive driver(for this rate i guess its not that big of a prob)2) sometimes when i had to double click there is a lag nothing big.3) Not wireless(would have loved if it was wireless, but again price plays a role in this too)Softwares used on:1) Autodesk Maya2) Photoshop3) Nuke.
