Huion H610 Pro V2 Graphic Drawing Tablet Tilt Function Battery-free Stylus and 8192 Pen Pressure with 8 Pen NibsEDIT July 2022: Still using this tablet! No issues have come up since my first purchase in 2018. I've used up the last of the nibs, but the tablet still functions as before. This tablet has definitely outlasted it's price.EDIT March 2020: I'm still using this product and I still stand by my rating. Still works like the first day I had it. The plastic protector is still holding up and the pen still works perfectly fine!! Just wanted to give an update that this is still a GREAT tablet to get if you don't have the money for the newest Huion or a Wacom.If you dont want to read my novel of a review below here's the quick version of my review for this tablet. I thoroughly enjoy using this tablet. It does exactly what I want and I didn't have to pay hundreds of dollars for it. If you are a student, hobbyist, or professional who wants to draw/3D model/whatever else with a tablet, I definitely recommend this. As someone who uses a Intuos 4 at work, this is definitely comparable, if not better than the Intuos, mostly because of the price and it works flawlessly with Windows latest update.**Pros / Cons of Product:**+ Price+ Size overall and size of drawing surface is perfect+ Came with drawing surface protector that was extremely easy to apply+ With drawing surface protector on, doesn't feel rough and no scratches after heavy use+ Has pen holder and 8 pen nibs+ Pen pressure levels+ No recharging the pen (as other Huion tablets you do have to)+ Works with latest Windows Update and Windows Ink can be disabled+ Can customize orientation of tablet and disable buttons in the software+ Simple to set up software- Tablet and pen feel really lightweight, wouldn't want to put much weight on the pen for fear of it breaking- Can't save button configurations for multiple applications- Pen loosely stands in pen standI will be updating the longer I use this product, but I believe this tablet works extremely well for me, and hope others will find my review pretty thorough so they can decide whether they'd like this product as well.:)I use a Wacom Intuos tablet at work 40+ hours a week for the past 5 years doing 3D modeling and texturing. Never been able to think the price of a Wacom was worth getting one for myself at home. I began researching alternative brands and ran into the Huion website. Found the products to be extremely affordable and the reviews I read on their products on other sites (Amazon, Reddit, art forums) were always well and were comparable to Wacom. Decided to take the dive and buy this new H610 Pro V2 tablet, mostly because you don't have to recharge the pen (unlike the other Huion tablets), and the size fit on my desk at home. I typically become skeptical of smaller brands with oddly affordable prices, but I decided the price was worth a shot at least try it. After using it for a week, here is what I've found about the tablet.** Extensive Review**I do have to admit, when I first unboxed the tablet I immediately thought of this: "Wow this is extremely light." I'm not sure what materials are used for this, but it is definitely a lighter-weighted plastic than the Wacoms. Even the pen feels kind of light and empty, like even the thought of sitting on it could break it. It's not an extremely bad note just something that I immediately noticed.The pen is comfortable to hold and the buttons work extremely well. I have small hands and I actively use the nib and two side buttons for work and browsing the web and haven't found anything unusual about the pen. There is no eraser button at the top end of the pen, but I wouldn't have used it anyway even if it was there. Extremely responsive and fits my hands well and I actually like how light weight it is. It does feel a bit loose standing in the pen holder, but it's not that big of a deal to me. Also comes with 8 extra pen nibs in the pen holder and its great you don't have to charge this pen, its battery-less. When I'd doodle in Photoshop, it never stuttered or lagged and was extremely responsive to pressure and button presses.The entire tablet size is about 9.5" x 14". The drawing surface is a full 6.5" x 10". As you can see in the pictures I attached, whatever is made to look like the drawing surface, is the actual drawing size. It's not a subsection of drawing surface like the Wacoms. You can draw to the entire edge of that drawing surface, it even gives you some leeway and recognizes if you go over the drawing surface and onto the tablet surface. You are however able to customize the size of the drawing surface in the software if you feel thats too much drawing space for you.There are soft touch buttons on the drawing surface, but I don't ever use those and intentionally covered them with the drawing surface protector that Huion provided with the product. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the soft buttons before I attached the protector, which by the way was extremely easy to attach and the texture of it is great and not extremely noisy or rough. It has firmly stuck to the surface and I dont notice it when I'm actively drawing. You can see in a pic I have it lifted so you can see the actual surface. There are also buttons on the side of the tablet with some pretty cute icons. I don't really use the buttons because I work in a 3D program called Maya, I have to use keyboard shortcuts more than premade buttons on the tablet. So unfortunately won't be able to say much more about that.Now I am going to tell you the selling point which really pushed the tablet to be 5 stars.... it WORKS PERFECTLY WELL WITH THE LATEST UPDATE OF WINDOWS AND WINDOWS INK!!! I have had problems with the Wacom tablet at work to work on the latest update of Windows and Windows Ink. I thought it was on my end, but upon researching found that a lot of people have been having the same issues since one of Windows recent updates. Those issues make it impossible to work on Windows right now, but here I am... able to work with this Huion tablet. Thank you thank you thank you to the Huion employees who was able to figure out how to get the tablet to be functional again with Windows. I can DRAG internet browser windows, I can RIGHT CLICK in internet/desktop browser, there is no lag when I right click anywhere, it works perfectly well and I'm actually able to work..Also, the software used to set up the tablet is extremely simple to set up and I'm able to customize how I set up my tablet. Example, I have my computer tower on my right side, and the tablet has the USB cord on the left side. At first I thought I was going to have an ugly wire run across my desk, but I found I can turn the tablet 180 degrees and tell the software thats how I have it, and it works! I can turn off any and all buttons on the tablet and pen, I can have the tablet work on only one screen or both, can turn off Windows Ink, have it screen ratio'd to my monitor set up, or even make a custom drawing area. It would be nice if you can make changes to the button set up according to what program you have open, but I'm just happy it works for me in general.

I have not used WACOM. This is my entry into using this tool. So I have no ability to compare. But if WACOM is better than what I have, MY GOSH! Because this tablet is awesome. It is very precise and responsive. The pen is above average, though I will say it is very easy to accidentally click the two buttons near the tip that you can program to be whatever you want them to be (mine are "undo" and "erasure"). The price point is spot on. Make sure you get some cloud storage, because you will be drawing and painting up a storm with this thing!

I've been working to get back into 3D modeling and illustration and I wanted to try out hand painting textures. I've never had a tablet before so my review is not a comparison of this tablet to others. I had been thinking I'd get a small Wacom as even the smallest was bigger than my biggest trackpad which seemed plenty big. So that's about $200 and that just seemed too big a risk for me as I thought there was a good chance it would sit on a shelf.So when I discovered this tablet for $50 I had to give it a try. You can save a little but not getting one with tilt sensitivity but it seemed like a good idea for only $10 more. I can't say I've done a lot using tilt yet. The pen to surface has a good feel, it's quite sensitive to pressure. It's really a game changer when used with a "painterly" graphics tools such as the brush engines of Photoshop, Gimp, and Krita, I use Krita myself. There is a huge range of expression available you just can't get with any non-pressure sensitive device.This tablet has 8 real buttons and 16 virtual buttons. I am left handed so the I use the tablet "upside down" to put the buttons on the right. This puts the soft buttons along the bottom. My 3D software is quite configurable with keyboard shortcuts and such so I haven't started using the soft buttons yet.As far as the function of this tablet I have nothing to complain about. What is keeping me from giving 5 stars though is the driver software. If the tablet is not plugged in when the computer starts/reboots the tablet control software does not see it. It still works, but the settings aren't loaded, orientation, button commands etc are defaults. It took me a long time to figure out the steps to get it to work.If the settings aren't loaded, opening the control software shows "device disconnected". I have to then click on "administrative privileges". This does not prompt for an admin password or anything it just exits the control software altogether. Launching it again then results in expected behavior.So if the software was a bit better I'd give it 5 stars. This is a great low-budget tablet with the basic pen support you need (but without fanciful features such as finger touch tracking). So if you're looking to get your first tablet this is a great choice.

Tablet is fantastic! My daughter opened it and immediately had it set up, downloaded an art program and was working within 15 minutes. She is absolutely thrilled. Highly recommended, affordable tablet.
