Lightweight, just works art tablet with _sweet_ pressure sensitivity.
TLDR; Great low cost intro tablet at a great price (bought mine during sale for $40) Great sensitivity and decent construction.Detailed review:The USB PartsSo tested this tablet on a MacBookPro via the provided USB A to USB C adapter. The adapter snaps into place in the USB C port!!! <<< OMG!!!! THIS!!!! Really, why aren't ALL USB C connecters snap in place!? It's in the design spec but most of the time... USB C connectors tend to be... loose. Not this.Speaking of USB... the Micro USB connection on the tablet side is sized so that the cable will fit snugly, avoiding strain on the Micro USB port itself. The space has a slight taper so downward pulling won't cause it to fail. Nice.The BuildIt's built like a thin keyboard with partial folded metal and plastic components. It is SUPER light and if you put the effort in, it will flex. (So will a Wacom, actually... )The surface is smooth. One LED to indicate whether the stylus is within range of the sensor field. It is well lit and isn't super bright.The writing surface is smooth. To be honest, I think that for the price, UGEE puts out a pretty amazing tablet using the induction technology that Wacom pioneered.The buttons on the tablet itself are nice. There is a clear button click, but it is slightly dampened once it bottoms out. Am guessing a tactile micro-switch is under the button. Still, clean button press.SensitivityOkay, this thing has 266 pps for sampling rate and 8192 levels of sensitivity in the sensor.The only tablets I've had experience with are Wacoms from pre-2018. So the sensitivity levels of those are in the 2048 range. I have found that Wacom sensors tend to max out super quick and requires a more managed level of pressure or a curve adjusted nearly to the point of skewed de-sensitivity to avoid bottoming out.With the UGEE 10x6, I found that the lightest touch can produce a very fine line and applying pressure to the stylus while sketching I did not bottom out. When I did a pressure calibration, I was more or less leaving it along the midline, which was a surprise for me.Used it in Clip Studio Paint and at first, I had this thing where the cursor froze for a moment after I lifted the pen at the end of the stroke. Turns out this is due to having set 200 undo levels.... Dropping it down cleared that up.Drawing with this stylus and tablet feels very much pencil and sketch pad. The stylus is about the thickness of a slightly thicker pencil... maybe a pastel? Smaller? Larger? Guess it depends on the brand. But overall, I like it. That 8192 levels and 266 pps REALLY captures my strokes. dang.SoftwareUnlike Wacom's driver software.... UGEE's is VERY minimal and straightforward. But it retains what's important:- customize keys, buttons, and actions per Application.- can easily customize any button on the stylus or tablet.- doesn't induce lag, which Wacom's drivers have for me.

An Honest Review
I do graphic design and have for many years. I'm self-taught so I learned using the mouse. I decided that it was time to get a graphics tablet for Corel Painter. I researched Wacom tablets because that's what Corel recommends. I was not happy with the Wacom reviews, so I researched a few other brands.I decided to bite the bullet and make this purchase. My tablet was delivered in just a few days, it came packaged very well, the product was in great condition, and the box contained everything that was advertised. I was dreading the download of the driver because of all of the horrible reviews. However, this was plug and play. No hassles with the website as my computer set up the tablet in seconds. I do have a brand new HP laptop, though. No account to set up, no difficulty with locating the correct driver, and no virus or malware. I was all set!I have been on Corel Painter, Photoshop, Illustrator, Rebelle 3 with zero issues from the tablet or pen. There is no skipping, no lagging, no issues. This works great in all programs, and sketching in Photoshop was a dream!!The only drawback to this purchase was there was no user manual included, and the online version is very out dated. I am not sure how to program the short keys. However, they were already programmed with commands, I use the one I need, and I use the keyboard shortcuts more often than not because that's what I am used to.I do take care to protect the plug in pieces as they can wear with abuse, but honestly, this was well worth the money spent. I've never used a graphics tablet before so I do not have anything to compare it with, but I am extremely pleased with this one. This is great for any artist, especially one just learning the ropes. I hope this review helps with your decision.

great tablet with only a few small issues.
I really enjoying this drawing tablet, Im a graphic design student and its prefect for learning. It is very responsive. The biggest issue I have is the cord plugs in on the left side of the table and my pc is on the right it would be nice if the plug was in the back so you can have your pc on either side. you can flip it to left handed mode then you quick keys are on the wrong side. The issues Im having with it are pretty much strictly a learning curve. Its hard for me to find the exact spot on the pad to draw and I've been using a mouse for so long tat its going to take time to adjust. The only true issue Ive found is the quick keys don't work sometimes you have to hit them a couple times or they wont be whats programed. Its nice it comes with a cleaning kit, a cord and the glove. Its a nice big size which was why i bought it and it has the quick button on the pen, which i dont like because i keep hitting it on accident and is really sensitive. All and all its a really good drawing table I use adobe programas and they work great with it, and works on a ton of note apps.
