GAOMON M10K Drawing Tablet, 10x6 inch Large Graphics Tablet with Touch Ring, 8192 Levels Battery-Free Stylus, 10 Hot Keys, Art Tablet for Design, Writing, Editing, Work with Mac, Windows, Android

When I first saw this tablet I was rather skeptical; even for a smaller tablet it was incredibly cheap, especially when compared to the prices set by other brands. I went ahead and ordered this tablet, after all there’s not much to lose; on top of the Gaomon warranty I was also offered a 3 year long protection plan for a little under $5. Already a better start than any other tablet I’ve purchased. The tablet arrived much quicker than expected and I was also pleased to see how nicely everything was packaged. I attached a little unboxing video here; I went ahead and removed the plastic from the products (tablet, tablet pen, and glove) before recording, but everything was re-placed as how it was when it came in. The contents include: Tablet features: 6.5” by 4” Work Area. 4 Shortcut keys Everything else: The S620 tablet itself Battery-free AP32 pen (8192 levels pen pressure, aka pretty standard pen pressure but impressive for such a small tablet) 1x USB Type-C Adapter & 1x Micro USB Adapter Drawing glove Spare pen nibs (enough for the tablet’s whole lifetime, more nibs are available on their website but they provided plenty to start with) Setting up this tablet took no more than 10 minutes, Gaomon’s site was really easy to navigate. If you have another tablet make sure you uninstall that driver before installing this one, the same goes for any tablet, only one can work at a time. Not that big of a deal, just a tip for beginner tablet users! After around an hour working with the tablet, I got an error message on my computer and the driver stopped working. I went back to Gaomon’s website and right there on the front page (it’s so big you can’t miss it) was a link to download their universal driver that would fix the issue right up. kudos to them. Driver issues are super common with all tablets, but I’ve never seen a company that openly acknowledges & tries to give you as much access as possible to fix them as Gaomon does. I didn’t have to dig for this fix AT ALL, and the tablet worked normally after taking the 2 seconds to download the new driver. Super rare for tablet companies, you usually have to dig. There was only 1 cord for this tablet, which I was really pleased about. There’s no clutter! It’s definitely portable and quick. The glove fit me as well, which I wasn’t expecting since tablet companies tend to either send huge gloves or extremely tiny ones, but this one fit me perfectly! There’s also USB connectors in case you want to use the tablet on your phone; like I said, it’s made for portability and ease of use. The pen nibs supplied are enough to last the tablet lifetime, it’s overall a great deal. As for the tablet performance itself, it works just as well as my $350 Wacom Intous (medium). Obviously, it’s a lot smaller than I’m used to, which took some adjusting, but that’s expected. I got the hang of it within the same hour and worked on it as I would any other tablet after that. It performed just as well drawing wise as my Wacom. The only con really was the pen. For the first hour or two I was really enjoying the pressure of it. After an hour or so I had to push a bit harder for it to connect & to get the pressure I wanted. Again, this took some adjusting too and wasn’t my favorite, I’m more used to pens that don’t have so much “buffer room” so that’s more of a personal preference. Once I was more used to it after another hour or two it wasn’t so bad. For such a small and well priced tablet though, it’s surprising that it works THIS well. You definitely get bang for your buck I’ve never been one to use shortcut keys before, but I decided “why not” and set some up to use for this tablet, and wow I’ve been missing a lot! I like how these keys click a lot more than my Wacom’s do. Their sensitivity is really nice and the shortcut menu is right on the driver menu so it’s super easy to navigate and set up. I highly recommend this tablet to beginner artists (I’m going to be giving this tablet to my younger sister, who’s just recently getting into digital art/animation), it’s cheap, easy to understand, and very portable. It does it’s job well, what more can I say? In a time like this with the lot of us doing everything online, I’d also recommend this tablet to teachers (my own struggles to write equations with his mouse), it would really help with signing things online as well! I’m actually astounded that I spent hundreds on a tablet I could have gotten for less than half the price for the same quality from Gaomon. Leading tablet companies aren’t always the way to go, Gaomon has much better protection plans as well! And I got a free tablet glove. Now, I wouldn’t suggest this particular tiny tablet for full time artists like myself, they have other sizes that I expect to hold up just as well for under $100. Hell, I could even get a screen tablet for cheaper than I got my Wacom desk tablet for. Had I known about Gaomon when I was first looking for a tablet, I surely would have saved a lot of time, money, and clutter buying from them.

I am an OLD man, and have been into drawing and painting for as long as I can remember. I used to do a lot of work with pen and ink, using a "hawks quill" nib and Higgins Engrossing ink on vegetable;e parchment. I bought this drawing tablet to see if I could master the technique of drawing using it. It seems to work very well, and does everything advertised, but it is going to be a LONG learning curve. For one thing, drawing on the tablet, but looking at the monitor screen seems quite disconnected, not as intuitive as real pen and paper. I wish someone would make a tablet that had a clear sensitive surface over an LCD monitor screen, so when you drew with the pen it would show it on the tablet itself, just like drawing, or painting on a piece of paper.

this tablet is really good for the price point. it is affordable & gets the job done. in the past, i had another tablet like this but decided to send it back, it seemed too complex & i didn’t feel like trying to figure things out! however, this tablet isn’t like that!! SOFTWARE DOWNLOAD/HOTKEYS: i have both mac and windows laptops. so far i have only used the tablet on my windows laptop. i was unable to download the software needed to program the keys & verify calibration (due to admin restrictions on my end) BUT apparently it’s not needed! i am still able to use the tablet without it. i was so thankful for this! however, hotkeys are useful for the efficiency of the tablet. so keep that in mind! i am hoping that since i was unable to download software to program the hotkeys that programming will transfer over when i use the tablet on my mac?! USAGE: i use it to compute math problems. i have only worked with it for a week, but it works well with microsoft whiteboard. the pens hotkeys are preprogrammed for it. one key is a grabber i think & the other an eraser. EASY TO USE: i gave it a 5 bc i read directions and they were easy to follow. since i was unable to download the software, i moved onto user manual for setup. all if did was unwrap the items & plug it into the laptops USB port & it was ready to use. . . sounds easy to me! BEGINNER FRIENDLY: i gave it a 4 bc it is easy to use, but may not be beginner friendly if you choose to be a lazy beginner! the dots on the tablet correspond to the location on your screen. if you use it for a good 2hrs with youtube practice tutorials as your guide it will become easy to use & beginner friendly :) (that’s what i did, but i may be bias i like technology) VALUE FOR MONEY: i gave it a 5. i paid 33$ works better than the 50$ one i had before **disclaimer: pen is the only thing wireless. tablet still needs to be plugged into device. you do receive USB-C and android adaptor

Absolutely amazing. Everything works, the stylus is super comfortable, and it's left-handed accessible. I'm not left handed, but I just think that's really neat! The price was absolutely amazing, and the driver was really easy to install. If you're looking for a decent drawing tablet that isn't selling for a ridiculous price, this is definitely the one for you.

I have been writing on my iPad for notes and drawing for about a decade. And when I got my Mac Studio, I also began using my iPad for writing or drawing via screen mirroring. I’ve been wanting to try one of these for years. This is almost too good, it’s very very sensitive. I had to turn down sensitivity all the way down. It’s super lightweight so I just keep it on my desk and plug it in and out when I need it. It’s been a challenge to get used to. But it works great. Too great… I’m really trying to get used to it and get over this learning curve. But overall, it’s a super good writing tablet.

I'm going to write a review how they shipped my dang item! Not only did they leave the package in the rain (I don't know if this is the company fault or Amazon) but they didn't put wrapping around it! I have photos of how they left it. The tablet didn't get wet thank goodness! I just think this is unacceptable how they did this. I will rewrite the review how the tablet works. I always wanted a drawing tablet so hopefully it works. I'm glad to report the tablet works good. Pretty sensitive couldn't figure out how to fix it? The USB cord is a pest to get it in! At first I thought it was just hanging out half way. I thought maybe it was plugged in and it's just that way? The device never showed up on the program. I had to push extremely hard to get the USB in the tablet port. It made a snap sound. I was so upset thinking I broke it! Thank goodness I didn't. Everything seems fine even works on Paintshop Pro 2023. I highly recommend a glove for this tablet. I have to buy one so my hand will stop working as a stylus. When I was done with it, the dang cord wouldn't come out! I had to pull the thing out hard from the tablet port. I haven't used it again yet. Kinda scared too cause I don't want to break the USB port!

I use this to write on online whiteboards. Took a little practice but I am able to clearly write, edit, and draw using this tablet. Easy to use. Only issue is that it is easy to hit the buttons that are on the pen, so I just didn't set them to do anything until I get more used to it. I like that I got the larger one, so it feels like I am writing on a sheet of paper. Does what I need it to do.

My stylus from my previous tablet unfortunately broke and I decided that it would be a good idea to upgrade, and then I got a Wacom tablet but I simply couldn't get used to it. I can't describe it exactly, but its surface was too hard and non-slippery for me and felt like a school chalkboard; my pen and hand moved much more slowly and for the first time I felt my hand getting tired from using a graphic tablet. I felt like I was writing with a pencil, while with my previous one it felt like a brush. I also compared my old stylus to the Wacom stylus – they're the same, with the exact same nibs, so the problem was in the surfaces. Maybe Wacom is slightly more accurate than Gaomon, but I choose my comfort and effeciency. I have also attached a video comparison between these two brands (the video shows my old tablet from 2020), where you can hear the sounds of both and their difference. So I got this tablet today and I was pretty suprised that they actually did a great job updating it to the nowadays - the surface's material is more pleasant, and overall quality got a little bit higher. The functionality is neat as it was, I really enjoy drawing on this tablet, and with the newer version it’s even better. I wish graphics tablet manufacturers would write more about its surfaces... It's very important in my opinion. I am writing a review because I really love this graphics tablet and it has served me for 5 years, and if you are a beginner and looking for something on a budget - this is it.
