Graphics Drawing Tablet, UGEE M708 10 x 6 inch Large Drawing Tablet with 8 Hot Keys, Passive Stylus of 8192 Levels Pressure, UGEE M708 Graphics Tablet for Paint, Design, Art Creation Sketch Black

I got this tablet as I start learning digital art and it's been such a good pick! The size feels alright and it's big enough to draw comfortably but not too bulky to carry around. The pen is very responsive and I love that it doesn't need charging. The shortcut buttons are handy once you get used to them, thought they are a little stiff at first! The setup feels like a breeze as the product came with detailed instructions and I easily searched for tutorials for this online as well/ It works smoothly with programs like photoshop.

I have largely given up doing art because I have parented young kids for over a decade and it is difficult to do with kids grabbing at the tools. I have used this tablet for a short time but appreciate that even if a kid gets their hands on the stylus there is no mess and marks made can be easily undone. I am new to digital art so I started using the paint application on my computer and coloring page. It was pretty fun being able to draw and color in a way I had never been able to do before. Of course I realized quickly I was missing out on the pressure sensitivity and got a new application to utilize that feature. I'm still getting used to the digital art and although the feeling of a stylus differs greatly from brushes, pastels, and even pencils, it is very delightful to be able to engage in art in a way I was unable to for a long time. My older child took a try as well and found it satisfying to use. Based on my current experience I would recommend it. I haven't tried other similar devices but I can't imagine anything could be done better.Pros:*Quick and easy set up*Easy to program shortcut buttons on tablet and pen*Can be used with our without pressure sensitive application*Pressure sensitivity is awesome- this is really where there is phenomenal opportunity to make artCons:*Pencil shortcut buttons get in my way. My pencil grip is not standard so I accidently press the shortcut buttons while drawing. These are easy to disable and may be super useful for those with a standard grip*It took a little bit to get used to drawing on the tablet and watching to screen for feedback, an issue I would have for any drawing tablet that isn't directly on a screen.*The shortcut buttons on the tablet are easy for my kids to push while I draw although they are discreet enough that my kids aren't drawn to them.*There is a lag between the drawing on the tablet and the response on the screen with quick movements. I believe this is likely due to my computer specs and limitations rather than the tablet.

This tablet worked beautifully for the first few weeks that I had it. Much more dynamic than my old Wacom Intuos. It was very easy to set up both the drivers and the hotkeys, and easy to make the adjustment from my previous tablet. The pen is also a lot less clunky than the one I was used to, and has a smooth glide over the tablet's surface. Tilt and adjustable sensitivity is also a great feature.Unfortunately, it seemed that I had received a dud. For no apparent reason, the driver stopped being able to detect that the tablet was connected, no matter what I had tried to solve the issue. UGEE's tech team deduced that the tablet I had received was defective. Luckily customer support was very understanding and willing to send out a replacement in spite of the return window having closed. I am looking forward to using it again once it is delivered.

I bought this drawing tablet to substitute an older UGEE I've been using for almost 10 years. The greatest improvement of this model is that the pen doesn't need a battery or USB power cord! This leads to a lighter weight and slim design that is much better to handle.A driver for this tablet is required, but UGEE is user friendly, which I greatly appreciate. It's not necessary to connect the computer to the internet and register the product in order to get the driver; it can be downloaded with a separate device into a USB stick and then installed in the computer- this is something important for my particular needs.The cord from tablet to computer is detachable, so it can be replaced if it gets bad (the one on my older model was hard wired)- the only thing I don't like is that the port is (only) at the LEFT side of the tablet and the cord therefore runs across my desk, which is quite awkward. I wish the manufacturer had been able to install another port on the right side, allowing convenience for different set ups. But at the moderate price one shouldn't complain about small details!
