UGEE Drawing Tablet S640 Digital Graphics Pad with Battery-Free Stylus Tilt Function 8192 Pressure Sensitivity 10 Express Keys Pen Tablet for Beginner Support Windows Mac Linux Android

as someone new to digital this is a rlly good product to start with. i’ve had it for a few days and i think it’s easy to use and understand, the buttons(on the tablet and the pen) are actually more versatile and useful than i thought they would be as they help you access things you’d otherwise have to use your keyboard/mouse to do, and for it’s price the quality is very good.i’ve used a wacom once before and the quality is definitely different (and better tbh) and the overall feel is better, but i don’t think it’s fair to compare the two. this isn’t a wacom, you shouldn’t buy this expecting it to match the feel of when you’d use a wacom (or a more expensive tab). as i’ve only used a wacom once, i barely have room to properly compare the two, so i can easily say it’s an amazing tablet and it genuinely doesnt feel like im missing out on anything. if you do have something more expensive to compare it to, this is a fairly good one and completely worth the price, but probably won’t compare to and i’m guessing definitely won’t outshine it’s more expensive counterpart.it’s a good size and it’s portable, and it’s fairly easy to set up if you follow the instructions that come with it. everything you need to do is in the user manual, and when you go to download the ugee tablet app it’s a clean and easy experience. it has different options for different computers/desktops, i use a macbook air and everything i needed to download went smoothly and has been working great.i’ve seen a few people say the pen leaves scratches, and when i got mine i thought i had that problem as well- turns out i just didn’t peel off the protective layer lmao so make sure you do that.when it comes to the art i’m able to produce with this (i’m new to digital as i said) it’s easier to grasp than you’d think ( as someone who’s been doing traditional) it may take some getting used to to not look down at the tablet as you draw, and rather your computer screen, but once you do it’s fun to use. it’s like using a new medium so don’t be too hard on yourself. as long as you have the knowledge and skill you should be fine. it’ll just take some getting used to. the pen isn’t glitchy, and you’ll be able to achieve smooth lines with it (they get smoother when you adjust the stabilizer on whatever app you’re using)lastly, in my experience so far, i haven’t had to apply any extra pressure to get the pen to work. the normal amount of pressure you’d use for a pencil or pen should be fine for this as well.

The media could not be loaded. My son (12) bought this Ugee M808 pen tablet to use with Adobe Fresco on his Windows Laptop. Luckily for us it was discounted to just over £25 at the time.In the box you get the tablet, USB C to A cable, pen (doesn't need batteries or charging), 10 spare tips for the pen and a tip removal tool, a warranty booklet and a quick start guide.The set up was easy. You connect the tablet to your computer, download the Windows driver from Ugee's website (there are also drivers for Mac O/S and Linux) and then you are ready to go. The driver also allows you to customise the settings but they seem fine as they are so far.The quick start guide is misnamed as it is more of a set-up guide. If you want to know more (and you will) then you need to also download the manual from the website.I think that the size of the tablet (10"x6") is just right as it provides a good approximation of the screen size. A smaller tablet would be easier to store, but would not have been so easy or practical to use.The tablet itself has a paper-like feel (their words), but what I can say is that it is not shiny like glass and so works well. The pen supplied with it responds to tilt and pressure sensitivity and has 16,000 levels of sensitivity. They work really well together, there is no noticeable lag when drawing and the pen is very accurate.It does take some getting used to as you want to use it like a mouse and drag the cursor across the screen whereas you just need to go the extent of the tablet to reach the far ends of the screen.We are still getting to grips with the hot keys and which does what, but they are really useful to have, especially the zoom in and out, undo and save.It's early days admittedly, but we are really impressed with this pen tablet, which is fantastic value, particularly at the reduced price that we paid.PROS:Tablet and pen performance is excellentPen sensitivity very good, plus it has tilt!set-up is quick and easyGood size for drawing applicationsLightweight and quite portable (a padded laptop sleeve might be an idea to use)No lagFeels nice to draw on (not slippery)Excellent valueMuch better than trying to draw with a mouse!Shortcut keys are a great time saving additionComes with all you need to get startedCONS:It's not wireless and so needs to be plugged in to your computerThey really should have included a printed manual in the packageIt would be good if it had a padded sleeve to store it inOVERALL:We couldn't be happier with this purchase so far as it has really brought our software to life and made drawing so much easier and more accurate. We thought that drawing on the tablet while looking at the screen might be awkward, but that hasn't turned out to be the case at all. The features, the pen, tablet itself and ease of set-up are all first class and all the cons bar not including the manual would increase the price significantly and we can live without them being addressed. It is early days and I will update the review if my son has any issues, but thus far I can heartily recommend this drawing tablet and pen set for any budding digital artists or animators and would think that you will struggle to find one of this size and quality to beat it at anything like this price.

Great little tablet!I've been using an older wacom the approximate size of an aircraft lander and have been looking on and off for a much more portable option, but nothing ever quite sat right. I took a chance on this as it was on an offer at a good price and offered more functionality than I had originally been hoping for. It's small and lightweight, and also doesn't have the grid on the active area, which was something that put me off about other brands. There was a bit of a learning curve with it, but I feel this is the case with most new graphics tools.The pen has good sensitivity, the tablet feels smooth to use, and while it requires drivers installed for full functionality they were easy to set up. It comes with a USB-C adapter making it compatible with android phones and various art apps, no drivers needed, which makes this even more appealing for travel. I have used it on trains connected to my phone and its made art even more accessible for me as I don't always have the time to power up a computer.I would say the only possible downside is the buttons built into the side. They can be reprogrammed depending on what you want, and I find them useful, but there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the tablet to re-orient itself the other way around. As a left-handed artist, this means that when I'm using it on a phone and it calibrates the tablet sideways, the buttons are always underneath my drawing arm. If there's a way to tell it to flip this that would be ideal, but there doesn't seem to be. Still, I would say its something I'm more than happy to learn to work around or adjust to for the benefits of using it.
