Never Miss a Deal.

I have 2 other tablets and this is equal to them or better. If you have never owned a tablet before this is the one for you. There are minor differences between them, but effectively, a person gets used to what they used the most.



If you have more brains than money you will buy this rather than the more expensive name brand tablets.



If a developer reads this, please update the driver to allow the alt key to be mapped to the stylus. (this would allow selecting the clone source in photoshop without using two hands)

PROS: Price, build quality, you can map all the keys and hot zones.

CONS: I don't think you can map the alt key to any of the buttons on the tablet or stylus.

I ordered this tablet after seeing a special online. I had never used a drawing tablet with my work and thought this would be a good entry level item. The reviews seemed good so I went ahead with it.

Only after I ordered did I learn about the driver issues with newer macs. I am running El Capitan. I made the decision to try installing things and managed to get it to sort of work. Things were very slow and jittery. At one point it seemed that my comp and photoshop recognized the tablet and it actually drew things smoothly.

I was disappointed that I couldn't get the control panel software installed. There was no way to adjust anything If I wanted to. I searched around online and found some video reviews and info about this tablet. I learned that a few companies add their brand to this tablet and sell it. That's where I hit pay dirt.

I learned that a company called Huion sells the tablet and makes it's own drivers/software for it. I decided to throw caution to the wind and download their Mac driver packet and what do you know. It worked. I was able to install control panel software that lets me assign hotkeys, adjust the pressure settings, and everything else I need to do.

The mac drivers I installed were for the Huion H610 Pro.

Also it was a youtube review for the Huion tablet that prompted me to search for their drivers. I was able to see it is identical to the Monoprice tablet.

Since then I've had a good time experimenting with the monoprice tablet. It fits my need of wanting to learn more about drawing with a tablet without having to make a huge investment. I hope this is helpful to past buyers and potential buyers.

PROS: Good entry level
Well priced


CONS: DRIVER ISSUES

What's there to say about a product that's priced right and works as expected?

This is the first I've used a graphics tablet so I don't speak from a professional's point of view. I found it easy to use for editing images pixel by pixel in preparation for doing a trace bitmap for use in vinyl cutting software. ThIs can be a tedious job and the tablet is definitely the fastest and easiest way to perform this task. ThIs tablet worked flawlessly.

PROS: Performs as advertised, seems to be well made, the price was right.

CONS: Software install was not quite described right but there was no real problem.

This is an amazing device for the price. I am using it with Photoshop and Illustrator on a Mac, and have not run into any issues yet. The pressure sensitivity is great, the accuracy feels good, and the drawing surface has a nice texture. I've owned high-end tablets, and this one works just as well for what I need, at a much lower price. When I got it, I made sure to follow the installation instructions exactly. The driver software feels very no-frills, but I was able to set up the pen and tablet buttons the way I want them. The pen is weighted a little weirdly because of the battery, but I've already gotten used to that. I bought this for casual use, and I have a high-end tablet I use for work, but this Monoprice tablet preforms so well that I feel like I could use it for professional work. I've only had the tablet a few weeks, so the only thing I can't comment on is longevity.

PROS: Price

High pressure sensitivity

Pen stand and extra nibs included

CONS: Driver software is not very slick

Pen needs batteries

Monoprice really needs to invest in some well placed web ads to get the word out about these tablets. At a FRACTION of the cost of Wacom, you can get a devise that preforms at least as well. I've been shopping for a used Intuos 3 for 2 years now, and I couldn't even find that for this price. USED! A lot of people said that they had issues installing the drivers. I was leery of that and expected an uphill battle to get it installed but much to my surprise is loaded right up. NO ISSUES with the install, so don't let that scare you away. If you are an artist who has never tried a tablet because you couldn't afford it or were afraid to invest serious money one something that you might not use, this is the tablet for you

PROS: A Graphic Drawing Tablet that we can all afford!

Works perfectly!

Cool sleek design.

Love the convenience of the hot keys.

Installed to my computer without ANY issues.

CONS: None!

Got my tablet in less than a week, and I live in Canada. The tablet itself is big, but not too much, and its drivers are easy to install. Got it to be able to function in less than 10 minutes! Pen feels great in hand, a bit big but it's ok! I switched from a Wacom Intuos Pen Small to the Monoprice 10 x 6.25, and I don't regret! It's great to use (I was drawing with it in less than 20 minutes, flawless!),, surface a bit textured, I like it alot! Great for the price! It's been an year that I have my other tablt, and I won't come back to Wacoms for a long time

PROS: Easy to install
Quick to use
Fast delivery
Perfect for beginners to intermediate users

CONS: Surface a bit grungy
A bit too big pen

Performed fine for the first 14 months or so. Bought this almost two years ago and hoped it'd last a little longer than this. Seems the USB port on the unit is just working loose, and only maintains a connection sometimes.

PROS: Good when it works

CONS: Doesn't always work

I bought this tablet about a year ago, and was disappointed to see that the Mac drivers had last been update in 2013. I posted a review at the time complaining about the quality of the drivers (lack of middle mouse option, jittery cursor movement, frequent problems which would also affect mice and trackpads) and though staff tried to help me, there were no solutions for my problems.

However, thanks to the review below by Anonymous from Lynden, Washington, the tablet now draws VERY smoothly and I can set my upper button to middle mouse as I prefer. The HUION H610 drivers work so well that even though I've only had them installed for five minutes I absolutely HAVE to rave about them here, they are exactly what this tablet needs. I've gone from frustrated to the point of almost buying a new tablet to completely satisfied with one driver installation.

PROS: With the HUION H610 drivers, it seems to work flawlessly. Love it to bits!

CONS: Decent drivers not available on Monoprice website, historically Huion drivers didn't seem to work.

I love this drawing tablet. It's a fraction of the cost of other tablets and works just fine for me and what I want to do with it - draw and paint. Would totally 100% recommend to anyone that wants to get into digital drawing and painting.



I haven't had a complaint about the battery life of my pen and I've used it for hours upon hours since I first got it in the mail. I "turn off" the pen by clicking the top of it like an ink pen when I'm not using it. I don't know why other people have problems. Also, just get a rechargeable AAA batter anyway.



Pressure sensitivity doesn't work in the new version of Gimp, but works fine in Corel Paint - that's not a con against this tablet, just an FYI for those having issues. Supposedly it works fine in Gimp 2.6, but not 2.8 at all. Totally works fine in Corel, haven't tried photoshop.



Enjoy!

PROS: Very affordable

Lightweight

Responsive

CONS: None

The tablet works well. No complaints. The sensitivity is very nice. I've used the tablet in Photoshop as well as Blender (sculpting mode).



I read a few reviews complaining that they couldn't map the tablet to multiple monitors. I have had no such problems. I am currently mapped across two 16:10 monitors with a 1:1 ratio of screen to tablet. There are many many options to work with in the driver tabs.

PROS: THE PRICE

Very thin, but solidly designed.

Software installs quickly and easily.

Pen pressure sensitivity is very nice (I prefer it to Wacom).

Pen feels solid, and has a good weight.

The active area is actually a few mm larger than the gray rectangle.

CONS: NOTE: Install drivers BEFORE plugging tablet in for the first time!!



Wacom's pen activates upon contact. This pen may contact and not activate with an extremely soft amount of pressure. Not sure if this is a learning curve issue, or an annoyance yet.



I wish Monoprice sold an even bigger tablet. I want a larger one!

Got this for my son, and so far he loves it, been using it to work on his digital artwork with great results.

PROS: easy to use

CONS: none yet

I've been using a couple of Monoprice tablets for professional digital drawing/painting work for about 4 years now, and just got this one to upgrade to a newer model.

This tablet has great updates to some of their the previous designs - the pen now has an on/off button located on the back end, the built in buttons make sense for a digital drawing/painting workspace, detachable cable, and it can handle a dual monitor setup. These updates fixed most of the issues I had with the older models. It also looks and feels much nicer overall. Great tablet, amazing for the price!

This is my first graphics tablet, and it's always a pleasure to have something work right out of the box. I installed the drivers from the CD first, then plugged the tablet in. Pressure sensitivity works without issue in Photoshop CS6 64-bit and PaintTool SAI. The drivers work flawlessly on Windows 8.1 x64, even though the box doesn't explicitly specify support. The Monoprice 8297 Graphics Pen also works with this tablet, and all pressure sensitivity levels are recognized in the driver diagnostics pressure test.



It is a rebranded Huion H610 Pro, so it should be compatible with Huion's rechargeable pen and screen protector. That being said, Monoprice does it again, by selling this tablet for less than what I could find for OEM-branded models!

PROS: Large drawing area, and still really thin (about the same as my iPhone 4). Rubber feet grip well enough on this wood desk. Detachable MiniUSB cable. Seems sturdy enough on flat surfaces.

CONS: No integrated tilting stand/feet, but flat works well enough. Just prop it on something if you have to.

So the only reason i docked a star was because Monoprice doesn't seem to have good drivers as said everywhere. But the tip from the individuals below about getting the "huion h610 drivers", and it worked like a charm. Stoked on that. I am using a windows 10 OS PC, and actually used the "Huion H610 Pro" drivers, and it worked perfectly. I did have to check a box in the Huion program setting, but once i did that and started up Photoshop, it worked so good.

PROS: Works like you'd want, once you get the drivers figured out.
Great price!

CONS: Drivers aren't up to par, need to get a competitors drivers to make it work.

This tablet has good specs with an amazing price tag. After seeing multiple positive reviews I decided to upgrade my Wacom Graphire 3 (!) and try one out myself. It feels a little hollow and cheap compared to the Wacom Intuos tablets but looks quite good as far as tablets go. It worked great on Mac OSX and Photoshop until I tried to use Dual screen. The drivers don't seem to fully support dual screen - the tablet maps both monitors but does not give you the option just to map one. This is a fairly big inconvenience for painting as your stokes will be distorted - if you move horizontally, the cursor moves quickly but vertically it will move very slow.

One other thing I noticed that I did not expect - the surface is rough to give a paper texture feeling... but the hollowness of the tablet means it is noisy when you drag the pen across it! I work in a studio and I'm self conscious about how noisy it is when I'm working! I've used an intuous before and I thought that made a bit of noise.. but this is strangely loud.

The pressure sensitivity is very good, it has a good range and you can press quite hard before it reaches its maximum pressure. Some tablets I've used are so sensitive that even touching lightly there are pressure changes which lead to an uneven line, this tablet, for me personally, has pressure sensitivity in a much more realistic range.

Overall I am very happy with my purchase, I just hope Monoprice can continue to work on their drivers and improve dual screen support.

PROS: Great price compared to industry standard tablets with similar specs.

Works great in Photoshop.

Realistic pressure range and good smooth transition between pressure levels.

Looks good, better than the previous models.

CONS: Drivers do not give you options with dual screens.

When using dual screens, both screens are mapped making the strokes distorted.

Feels a little hollow and cheap.

The textured surface and hollowness means the pen makes quite a bit of noise when dragged across the surface, which doesn't really matter unless you work in a quiet environment around other people.

Decent tablet for beginners, but for those that use them for a profession I would highly recommend elsewhere. The headache for trying to get this thing working and CORRECTLY is far too much hassle.



I am consistently having issues with my pen making straight lines only. I've looked up tutorials on fixes, completely uninstalled and re-installed the latest drivers on the site, changed batteries, etc. all to just having the same problem the next day. Restarting my computer every couple of hours (or minutes depending on how finicky it is at the moment) is just much too time consuming and frustrating.



I'm very disappointed in this product and will likely not purchase anything further from Monoprice.

PROS: - Pressure sensitivity works mostly as advertised and is adjustable.

- Size is great to work with.

CONS: - A LOT of legwork needed on consumers end to constantly "fix" issues and glitches.

- Pen will randomly stop working properly (still registers as on and moves, but only makes straight lines)

- Too much headache and time wasted for the money - I'd rather pay $200 for a tablet that works right out of the box.

So, before everything, let me get this out of the way - I used to have an Intuous 4. Loved it. I love this thing just as much!



The Drivers : The drivers were terrible. Until I found one that worked on my system. All the drivers except for the V9.0 drivers ended up having wonky sensitivity - Adjusting the slider to "Light", it was entirely too sensitive in the first 40% of the curve, and then it flat lined to maximum after that. Adjusting the slider to "Dark" and it was as if i was bearing down the entire time. This was TERRIBLY FRUSTRATING, and I was about to send this unit back when I tried the v9.0 drivers. Adjusting to the unlabeled Right (light, in the previous drivers) cause mooshy sensitivity. HOWEVER - Adjusting the slider all the way to the *left* .... left me with the experience I was expecting (based on the Intuous). I wasn't looking for it (and I might have missed it), but It wasn't obvious to me how you would switch to left-handed mode. This is a HUGE oversight if there's no way to "flip" the tablet. Once pressure sensitivity was working as I expected it should, the drivers function perfectly in Adobe Photoshop. There seems to be a quirk with the V9.0 drivers, where I need to click "Require Admin" before starting on PS for the day. But once this is done, it works flawlessly.



The Tablet : The unit itself is as big as you'd expect for the size of the drawing area - Nothing "OMG" here. I was pleasantly suprised to find that I could disable the soft-buttons on the upper edge of the drawing area, and reclaim that area for actual drawing use! The buttons along the left side are all completely smooth and totally uniform (except for the zoom buttons in the middle). I still occasionally lose track of where I'm at, and press the wrong button. There are no spots of heat or anything that develop with continued use. The drawing area is HUUUUUUGE, and having come from a Small Intuous 4, the extra freedom of movement is something I'm slowly getting used to (and enjoying!)



The Pen : I did like the eraser button on the top of the Intuous 4 pen, however, once you're used to NOT using it (it takes a little bit of time), you don't miss it at all. The weight of the pen is comfortable in the hand, and I have no issues using it for hours-long stretches at a time. In the V9.0 driver, you can configure the pen-buttons to use mouse button clicks OR keyboard key-presses. Using the pen on the tablet, the sound is kind of hollow - as if there's a large volume of space directly underneath the tablet surface. You get used to it though. The battery contacts inside the pen use a spring-loaded metal button *just* above the threads, that makes contact with a metallic strip running along the inside to connect the negative side of the battery. It hasn't caused any issues, but there is a loud, metal-on-metal contact "click" when you screw the battery compartment on, and that was very worrying to me the first time I put the pen back together.



Overall : I love the heck out of this thing. If it ever dies, I'll buy another one without a second thought. :D

PROS: Appearance (Very sleek!)

Good build quality (Feels sturdy!)

Good sensitivity

HUUUUUGE drawing area.

The option to skip the "hot buttons" along the top row, and just use the ENTIRE surface!

Comfortable pen, with inexpensive nibs.

DOES NOT COST 600 DOLLARS. :D



CONS: Buttons can "stick", and it can be a bit of guesswork to figure out which one stuck.

The drivers are frustrating, at least for Windows 8.

Depending on how you hold the pen, there can be a loud, hollow, scritching sound which can be a little distracting. Happens rarely, though, which just kind of makes it worse - you don't actually get "used" to it.

The 6 buttons along the left are all completely uniform, with nothing to distinguish them through touch. Also, unless you're in a brightly lit room, you're going to have trouble seeing the tiny icons inside them. Troublesome getting started, but once you're used to it, a non-issue, I'd guess (haven't reached that point yet).

I've been doing digital art for nearly eight years and after getting tired of having to draw with a mouse tablet on a Mac, it became evident that I need to purchase a tablet to produce professional artwork in a shorter amount of time. After searching through various tablets, I came across this tablet in particular and noticed that it was a new product and having a little unction, I got it shortly before Christmas. The setup for the tablet on the Mac wasn't too difficult, but you will need to open the Finder window in order to set the sensitivity of the pen to your liking. It is much like drawing with a pen and the space that it gives makes it easy to draw. The only thing that I wished it had was a wireless pen that didn't need a AAA battery, but it hasn't died on me ever since I used it and I use it for hours on end daily. Compared to what I saw on this market, this is a true steal and worth every penny.

Keyboard no longer works after updating Macbook Pro when using the tablet. It will work for one or two keys then stops. I have to click using the mouse to get function back. I have uninstalled and reinstalled drivers with and without the tablet connected and it does not resolve the issue. Would like a resolution please.

PROS: Great price, worked wonderfully when initially purchased.

CONS: Doesn't seem to be much support for Macs.

The textured surface gives you the control of drawing on paper. This feature alone makes the tablet so very wonderful. It's also got some pre-programmed buttons that are assigned to zoom in and out, brush, erase, as well as bigger and smaller brush sizes. I'd really like to change some of those button arrangements since the brush will activate the airbrush rather than the paint brush in Paint Tool SAI's default set up. Finally the detachable USB makes it much easier to put the thing away, versus having to wrap the cord around the tablet. I felt I was taking a risk with buying a cheap, off-brand tablet, but things turned out splendidly!

PROS: Textured surface! Pen tips are also incredibly cheap.

CONS: Textured surface will probably lead to shorter tip life-span.

My only real gripe about this tablet is that there is no Left-Handed Orientation option. If you try to turn it upside down to accomplish this, it just writes backwards & upside down. Also, the bottom semi circle gets stuck every time I press it down near the edges! I would return it but that's just too much of a hassle. Other than that it's around 60 bucks with shipping so it's a better deal price wise than a wacom. However, wacom tablets DO support Left-Handed Orientation. If Monoprice wants to fix that issue with a new driver release then I can rate it 5 stars and forgive the button getting stuck.

PROS: Cheaper than wacom.

CONS: No Left-Handed Orientation support. Semi circle buttons get stuck.

Read the many reviews with problems.... well... I'm a full time professional photographer using Windows 10. Downloaded the software in minutes and it works seamlessly with Photoshop CC. So, unless it works poorly with Mac's, it work perfectly with Windows. Great price and design. Highly recommend.

PROS: Works great
Great price

One of the best purchases I've made. I use it all the time and I'm very comfortable with the way it works.

PROS: Works just as good as a WACOM product

Great price

simple software



CONS: I personally should have got one without the buttons on the side. one of the default options for the buttons is to "close" being left handed (and the buttons are on the left) makes that difficult. I went into the software and flipped it so that I could technically use it upside down with the buttons on the right but then the cable was too short hahaha. not really a big problem since I just changed those shortcut keys to do nothing

I adore this tablet. I stumbled across it (and Monoprice) while searching in vain for a replacement pen for my Wacom Intuos tablet that wouldn't break the bank. I perused a few review articles on it and decided to give it a shot. I am NOT disappointed! It has been a major upgrade for me and once I got used to how sensitive it is, I won't look back.

I will say that I can't give any review on how the shortcut buttons work because I have a programmable gaming pad for that.

So in summary - This product is by far the best buy I've made in years. Very fantastic quality for a very fantastic price!
Would also be a great option for a cost-effective spare or travel tablet for a professional designer.

PROS: Great sensitivity.
Easy to use.
Simple to customize.
Awesome quality for an amazing price point. (probably the most influential part of my shopping in any category.)

CONS: There only only two issues I have come across so far:

There seems to be an issue with any kind of drag-and-drop or "scrolling" with the pen where it is as if the pen is trying to "click" repeatedly and will not work as desired. Such as when trying to drag layers in photoshop to reorganize or scrub the opacity, etc. Not sure if this is a hardware or software issue but it's not enough of an issue to diminish how much I enjoy this device.

Secondly, the pen nibs seem to be wearing down rather quickly and I have yet to find any replacements that can be ordered by themselves. I am in the process of contacting customer service about this, so hopefully this will not be a real issue.

I'm coming from several Wacom tablets, and I can't believe how nice and comfortable this one is for the price. You really get your money's worth. It was even easy to set up a shortcut to switch monitors, if you want the pen cursor to be mapped to entire desktops. But, whenever I use this button, it also performs a left click wherever it lands in the other screen. This can switch apps, pause videos, open a random web page- all sorts of mischief. When I reached out to Monoprice support, they simply said it's not meant for multiple screens. If that's the case, I think that needs to be made very clear to customers before buying it.

PROS: Big, accurate, comfortable, great value

CONS: Partial support for multiple monitors, leading to absolute chaos.

I've had this drawing tablet for 1 1/2 years and it held up pretty well during that time. The only problems i've had so far is there's a very small crack in the pen, and the piece inside of the tablet that holds the usb in place fell out and i have to position the cord just right for it to even work. (then again i wasnt very careful with it ) Other than that im extremely happy overall with the size and durability.

PROS: Lasts quite a long time.
The pen is comfortable in my hand
Nibs last a long time (i only went through 2-3 nibs within the span of 1 1/2 years)
Pen battery lasts a long time (only had to change it once)
Somewhat durable in somewhat harsh conditions.
Fits perfectly in your lap.
Usb cable is long

CONS: Somewhat thin/flimsy material for both pen and tablet, but still somehow durable. They crack a bit easily but somehow stay in tact.
I assume the usb port on tablet isn't very durable because i had to live with positioning the usb cable in the right place for months, but it was probably my fault for not taking care of it correctly.

This is my 1st drawing tablet and I must say It is Awesome. It works great on my older desktop and my sister loves it. However, the driver of this tablet conflict with my laptop's touchpad.

I have Acer v7-482PG-6662, which use ELANTECH Touchpad Driver 11.6.27.201. The drivers of this tablet conflict with it. For example after I install the tablet's drivers, the tablet works fine but my touchpad doesn't work.

I tried many things such as updating my touchpad's drivers, disabling windows from installing its own driver etc but nothing worked. The only way to make my touchpad work again is to uninstall tablet's driver and reinstall my touchpad drivers, which gets really annoying because it requires restarting the computer.

So the options I have are either use tablet without being able to use laptop's touchpad OR use touchpad and not use tablet.

I would have given this tablet a 9.5 or 10 /10 if it worked on my laptop, or if I only used my desktop. Too bad thats not the case.

PROS: Light, cheap, accurate, nice design

CONS: Drivers conflict with my laptop's touchpad.

Simple design changes would make this a 9 or 10 out of 10 product. As it is they are major flaws for actual use. The Express Keys are all on the left, rendering them all but useless for left-handers like myself. These keys should be placed along the top of the tablet. And apart from the middle button which is split in two these buttons are not tactile at all, and are black on black, making it guesswork as to which one you are keying if you are trying to do so without taking your eyes off the screen. A) They should be along the top of the front of the tablet. B) They should have some sort of tactile differentiation, plus C) Color differentiation so that you can be in no doubt which button you are pressing whether you are looking at the tablet or the screen.



The 16 Hot Cells along the top of the active drawing area are also problematic as they are numbered in dark grey against a slightly darker grey background. Simply making the 16 numbers white - or better yet - differentiated by (light) colors, would make them infinitely more usable. As these do not have any sort of tactile difference from the drawing surface and the only way to use them is to actually look away from the screen and at the tablet, then why make them almost invisible? In low light they ARE invisible. Also, there are 16 of them. The middle ones are effectively useless to me as all I can easily see without mistaking them are the 3 or 4 on the extreme left and right. The middle ten will remain forever unused by me as there is no easy way to even see if I'm looking at number 6 or number 7, or number 11 or number 12. With Brighter color - and better yet - different colors - all 16 would be useful. And when you use actual drawing programs like Photoshop and Illustrator which presumably this tablet was designed for, those extra keys would be very, very useful.



Installing the drivers on a Mac (10.6.8) was problematic. First try did not work and I had to chat online with tech support in order to uninstall then reinstall. Then I had to restart, thus breaking that chat session, hoping that I wouldn't have to start another chat from scratch if it didn't work. Luckily it did work but it was still a little problematic until after I set the preferences correctly. For example it did not map to the full width of my two monitors. Also, there is no sign of the settings pane in the System Preferences as the manual says there should be, and the Settings are opened from within the folder installed in the Applications folder.



All said and done though the thing only cost me $53. I will make do with the measly 6 Hot Cells that are usable and forget the rest of the supposed customizable buttons. The drawing area and the pen are the main reasons to buy the thing. I would gladly buy the next version if Monoprice make these quite elementary design changes, even if it added 10 or 20 percent to the price. Then I'd give it a 9 or a 10 out of 10.



(P.S. Monoprice would do well to make the Driver Open Source. With better design, tablets like this could take major business away from Wacom and others. Open source on the driver might mean we could also have settings for different programs, making the Custom Keys go into different modes from one program to the next. This would be invaluable going from say, Illustrator to Photoshop.)

PROS: Price: a fraction the cost of a Wacom - which aren't always all they are cracked up to be.

CONS: Poorly thought-out design. Problematic driver installation on a Mac

We had the worst trouble getting this to work with the program SAI.. figured out the problem yesterday, then today, it's back to not working right.. the pressure sensitivity will not work at all and I"m about to send this thing back. We just got it this past Friday and it's Sunday and I'm ready to send it back. Please either get me some help with this that will work or I will be sending it back..

PROS: It's new.. It's pretty big.. It worked for one second..

CONS: Will not work consistantly.

I love this tablet, but the issues I am having with is the driver. The driver provided by the CD that came with the pack works fine. However, when I use Sketchbook Pro to draw, the lines show no sensitivity. The lines look like I am using MS Paint. I was sent to the UC Logic site to download their driver, but I cannot install it. Over and over it is titled as an error. Maybe it is a Window's issue. I would love this product to work will my drawing program...

PROS: Inexpensive

Light size

Smooth Surface

Easy to Install

CONS: Inaccurate Pen Pressure

When I first got the tablet, it worked amazingly! I loved it! But recently it started getting weird, like whenever I tried to draw a like it would make a ton of dots instead of a line. When I tried to move without drawing there would be a line. Whenever i try to click on something it wouldn't work and whenever I was trying to draw and moved over the options it would click everything. I haven't had it for a year yet, but it's like.. dying. It really sucks and it is very infuriating to draw most of the time. I hope that it isn't like this for most people, but it is for me and it might not be me alone.
I would suggest it if its your first drawing tablet and you don't know if you want to do digital art or don't have very much money. But, i would get a different one if you have a career with digital art.

This tablet functioned as advertised at first. But, after only 7 months, the product is no longer functioning. I don't feel I've over-used it, either, . I'm not a heavy user, I use it only about an hour or two per week.

I've tried re-installing the drivers, replacing and recharging the battery, swapping USB cables, using a different computer, etc.

It still sort of recognizes the pen, but not while hovering above the tablet, only when pressing down. Even then, pressing on the tablet with the pen results in a only a slight movement of the cursor. Obviously, this is useless now.

There's an old saying: "The poor man always pays twice." I've learned that lesson, and you should, too.

Save your money and only buy a Wacom tablet. It costs more because it's consistently updated and isn't a hassle to use. This tablet requires too much work. I shouldn't have to change my entire computer to get a driver to work! Bad programmers, BAD! Learn how to program please, you guys would actually get better sales if you could. I wish I could return it, but it seems like I'll just have to recycle it.

PROS: -Looks awesome

-Feels sturdy

-Cheaper than Wacom





CONS: -Same issues as with all Monoprice (Bad driver support)

-Requires too much pressure to work!

-Hurt my wrist trying to make it work

-My artwork essentially looks sub par in comparison with their competitor (Wacom)

I have never in my life given up on a tablet faster than this one. It is the most frustrating tool I have ever wasted money on in my 15 years of drawing. Don't waste your money - go out and spend a little bit more if you want a tablet that will actually work. Learn from my mistake and don't be tempted by nice prices.

PROS: The pressure sensitivity is really good (when it does work).

-The pen is very easy to hold, and very easy to control pressure (when you can).

-The cable detaches from the tablet, making it easier to transport.

CONS: -The pressure sensitivity will randomly turn off and back in within seconds. This occurs maybe 5 times a minute while I am working in Photoshop.

-The pen will stop responding, because the inside is too large for the battery, which disconnects from one end and becomes lodges in the other. This happens extremely often.

-When I am working, the tablet somehow puts in faulty input in my program, and makes straight, horizontal lines.

-there are places on the tablet that I cannot draw on because the pressure will go spastic, sometimes in the middle of a stroke.

-The tablet driver that is made for Windows 8 does not come with the tablet, and has to be downloaded online. This isn't a large problem seeing as how Wacom has the same system, except the driver made for Windows 8 is literally awful with no updates for it.

-This tablet is virtually incompatible with Windows 8, and I can only imagine how much worse it becomes with Windows 8.1.

Amazing! However I did run into some issues with the older Mac drivers, but after reading some other comments and looking it up online I found a better and more updated one so now it works perfectly! Great tablet great price!

Compatible with ubuntu out of the box (haven't tried shortcut keys yet) and feels great.

This is like the way cheaper version of a Huion H610, so the newer drivers from Huion would work as well. You can't beat Monoprice when it comes to prices, I so appreciate this website for that.

So worth the money and really inexpensive! I've chosen all of my products from monoprice rather than the bloated Wacom brand. This tablet was amazing and o never experienced any problems.

I'm more than happy with this tablet. Does everything right at a very low price. Easy setup , the pen is very comfortable with two toggles that don't bother your fingers while using . Great sensitivity and very nice design.
Along with this I can tell that customer service is helpful at all , super fast shipping. I cannot ask for more !!!

PROS: Accurate sensitivity , easy setup , ergonomic pen and over all : great price !!!

CONS: I couldn't find any cons yet. Seriously !!

My 1st graphics tablet. Overall, I don't think it can be beat for the price. Pressure readings for what felt like normal writing pressure were about 60 when just barley resting, to about 600 when pressing hard for a drawing utensil. Had to press very hard to get over 1200 and to 2048. Neither the graphics tablet's instructions, Windows, or the drawing program told me how to adjust the pressure response to get it to function as you'd expect. Had to install the drivers from the included disc to get it to work with GIMP.

Wish the utility would allow for flipping axis so I could have buttons on right side. Would recommend this to anyone, with the one caveat being an unsigned utility that emulates keyboard input.

PROS: Very accurate, felt natural coordinating my pen strokes with 16x10 large high res monitor. Comfortable to use.

No calibration was necessary.

Works with the default Windows drivers for Tablet functions, and pressure sensitive in Paint.

Great looking design, ample quality. Included drivers are signed.

CONS: I'm left handed, and my wrist got one of the larger buttons stuck in and kind of flimsy.

Utility to map the keys and hot zones is not signed.

The 2 buttons on the pen can only be mapped to mouse clicks.

Included battery maybe ran down fast, maybe causing the pressure sensitivity characteristics to change.

After installing the included drivers, the Tablet PC Input panel stopped popping up for input to web addresses and save file dialogs.

For the price it's a good functional graphics tablet. As someone who tinkers in photoshop now and then it works perfect.

12 yr old loves it. Works well with coral painter 2017, and like a mouse as well. Good build quality as usual from Mono price!

I do feel like I got one that's too big, but that's not the tablet's fault, it's mine.

I used to draw all my stuff on paper, scan it, and then go through the laborious process of converting it to vector art. I've cut my illustration time in half with this tablet. It also works well for tracing artwork that's already on paper. The precision is fantastic and is adjustable, and best of all, it works great with Windows 8.1 - many tablets do not!

PROS: + Fantastic tactile feel

+ Pen has nice weight

+ Integrates well with Illustrator

+ Works flawlessly with Windows 8.1, even across multiple monitors

+ Price is a fraction of that other tablet made by a company that starts with a W.

CONS: - Definitely requires drivers to work properly, it'll sort of work with W8's built-in drivers, but not very well.

I am already making amazing digital art! It was easy to learn and I am enjoying making different art forms.

I used to have a larger tablet which costed me about $200. The monoprice tablet works just well and the drivers are good!

This is the second Graphic Tablet I purchased. The first on I purchased for myself. I was so pleased with it's functions and operation I decided to purchase a second one for a Christmas gift. This tablet is well worth the money, in fact, it's a steel.

This tablet was great... for about a month. After that, it would randomly seize up or only work in certain applications (for example, work in Photoshop, but not in Chrome or the desktop.)



After several support chats and multiple driver installs in and out of safe mode, I'm going to have to declare this thing a dud. It is not totally unresponsive.

PROS: Sturdy

Inexpensive

Good pressure levels

CONS: Buggy, buggy, buggy!

Had to constantly reinstall drivers and it eventually just quit working altogether.

I finally decided to pick on of these up- I've been needing a little more real estate for drawing and my old bamboo just wasn't cutting it. I'm fortunate enough to work very close to the store, so same day pick up was nice!



The tablet itself is pretty nice. In my regular office I have an Intuos4 and a Cintiq 22HD- aside from the pen needing a battery I can't really tell too much of a difference.



THE ONLY ISSUE was that the drivers on the included CD and the ones from the website wouldn't provide pressure sensitivity in Photoshop CC or ZBrush 4r6! After multiple reboots and googling about I figured out that this monoprice tablet is actually a rebranded HuionH610. I uninstalled the monoprice drivers, rebooted, installed the Huion driver, rebooted, and am working happily. Tested and working very well in Photoshop and Zbrush!



So the only word of caution- just like every other review has stated- reboot after ANY changes you make to your drivers! That means if you uninstall your Wacom drivers -REBOOT BEFORE installing anything!



BTW Monoprice Overlords- if you're listening: If the quality of this tablet is indicative of your tablet display please consider making on with a resolution of 1920x1200. I'd buy one in a heartbeat if it could mirror the full resolution of my main displays.

PROS: Very Affordable

Sturdy

Easy Will Call

CONS: Drivers

More reboots than La Femme Nikita!

This is the 3rd drawing tablet I have owned and I love it. I love that I can program all of the keys on the side and top to do what I want to streamline my workflow in Photoshop. I have been very pleased with the responsiveness of the buttons as well as the pad surface as well.

Everything we were expecting so far. Can't beat it for the price
