Is this a good beginner drawing tablet or do you guys recommend anything else? I might get this to begin with since I'm a bit used to just traditional and want to see if I could try digital. :-)
I got this tablet about a month ago. I would say the pen quality doesn't look so solid, but OK. The surface is quite slippery, it wasn't so comfortable to use it from the beginning and I put a piece of paper on the surface to draw on, but now, I think, I got used to it and works just fine. I have some issues with tilt function, specifically if I draw slowly, but I don't have what to compare it to, so, maybe, it's a normal thing. I don't like the thing with drivers that I can't set up the working area to the size I want without touching the ratio, as I would be able to do with Wacom. Also it has gittering diagonal lines. But overall drawing experience is good. I also like the scrolling wheel, very useful feature for me.
Think this will be my first digital art tablet. I am left-handed and want a tablet that can adapt easily to that. I was originally enamored with the Huion HS611, which has some unique bells and whistles and a snazzy speckled case design, but would be hard to use left-handed without a lot of compromise. It looks like I can just flip this Gaomon model upside-down and get an identical experience, because it's symmetrical horizontally. The Amazon listing states you can even just flip everything 180° to allow for this.
Hello. Your video to your graphics tablet is the most informative of all. I saw how it works. Before that, I watched Russian-language videos. They showed the packaging of the product, but did not show enough of the drawing process. I want to buy my first tablet. You helped me. Thank you.
This is my first drawing tablet, my only experience with digital art is the phone app for ibis paint and I don't know a lot about it. This review is pretty helpful in getting an insight for what you should look for in usage of a tablet like this. Thanks!
@@autumngrace3915 this is also my first drawing tablet and I think it is easy to get used to. It probably isn't as good as a huion or wacom tablet but it's solid... but It can suddenly stop working for days at a time
I wish someone could do a test with the top 5 brands in the budget around $70-150 and test them all in mouse mode +(handgesture if it exist) in daw,(Ableton) and daily stuff but not the actual drawing (armwrist pain with working with mouse for 30years+) this is why I need get one.
Bought this tablet a month ago . The tilt is working so bad , jitters , changing angle by itself and much more ! The support was stalling the time asking me to create new a new video tests( change/delete drivers , change brush , change program , change pc etc...) so I could not be able to create a dispute and take my money . They were saying about "a year warranty" but never wanted to replace the tablet or anything like that when I asked about it . Really bad company , lost money for broken tablet ..
Thanks for all the tutorials, reviews, and insights! I've been binging your vids and want to support but don't do Patreon. Is the USA Amazon link an affiliate one? Or can we support through PayPal, Ko-Fi, or something? Thanks.
Thanks Teoh! Your tablet reviews have acheivederfection. To the point and still providing all the relevant information. Do you think you could do something similar for you fountain pen collection? It's very large by this point so maybe a live event where you prese t all of them could be a nice holiday season event.
You've handled numerous tablets with great skill! You're an incredibly talented artist with vast experience! Please tell me, if you were just starting out as a graphic artist and weren't ready to invest in an expensive tablet, what model of graphic tablet would you choose based on your current experience and knowledge?
Get a size that's at least 10 x 6 inches. You can buy from any company, xppen, huion, parblo, gaomon, ugee. Nowadays such drawing tablets are very good and it is very difficult to buy a lousy one.
Thanks for your reviews! If I had to choose between M10 and Xpen Deco01 V2, which one would you recommend? I need to use with my laptop for Photoshop, autocad, etc. I'm an architect
So I've never done digital art but wanted too. Which tablet should I start with? I don't want to break the bank but it doesn't have to be the cheapest thing of all-time.
Hi Teoh! Thank you for the review. I want to star making digital art and I'm buying my first drawing tablet but I'm very undecided on which to buy. I'm thinking about getting one of these: Gaomon M10k Pro, huion H610 pro v2, Xp-pen deco 01 v2. Which one do you think is the best? Thank you!
Me i have 4inch genius drawing tablet but the problem its very old i buy it in 2015 but in the store they didnt tell me its old before i buy it they made it in the early 2000 the pen we must put a battery in it to work we cannot recharge it
Hey, first of all I really enjoy your complete and straightforward reviews! Im new in the digital art world and would like to purchase my first drawing tablet to illustrate on Windows (mainly Photoshop and Illustrator). After lots of research i find this one and the Huion Dial Q620M (which you also reviewed) to be a good choice for their price (both at 70 euros in my country). Then there is also the XP-pen deco pro which you reviewed also as a great product, but the price is a bit out of my budget (M - 118€ / S - 104€). Which one would you recommend? (And have you got any other suggestion?) Thank you in advance!
Actually their drawing performance is kinda similar. So the differences comes down to other things such as design, buttons, dials, wireless/not. Just choose the design you like.
Hello, i just found out your channel when im searching for drawing tablet, and its my first time to use this kind of drawing tablet for my artwork. Im using most of my work in Photoshop, i already search some of the gaomon product and i find this M10k pro have reasonable price for me to buy. my question is, do MK10K Pro better then M106K Pro?
This was such a helpful video! But I need some help... I'm hesitating between choosing thee m10k tablet or the s620 tablet! Both are gaomon but m10k is double the price of the other one and I don't see much difference except more buttons and bigger size
Hi, I'm having a bit of an odd issue. Usually, my pen is able to be picked up when held about an inch or two away from my MK10 Pro tablet, but now it only works if the nub is practically touching the screen. I've tried to fix the pen pressure and redownload the driver multiple times. The problem doesn't seem to be the pen, but the screen sensitivity itself.
My dad has bought me a Gaomon tablet, which will arrive on Monday, I assume this is the model(looks pretty similar, i think I saw the M10K text thing on the description) but just in case, do all of the tablets include the adapters?
@@teohyc oke since you have used many display tablets if you lower resolution from 2k to 1080 for bigger UI and text and vision in 16 inches and above tablet does the clarity decrease from 2k to pixeled 1080 or only the resolution changes but the quality and clarity remains like 2k resolution
I don't know of any drawing tablets with backlit keys. Anyway, check out my text reviews to compare the list of pros and cons. www.parkablogs.com/tags/drawing-tablet-reviews
Hello, i am new to drawing tablets so i want to ask: would this tablet have problems if my version of Photoshop is CS6?Would i need a very new Photoshop version? I don't want to buy this tablet only to find out I can't use it.
I just discovered your channel and I subscribed already after watching the iPad Air 2020 review. I'm interested in digital arts, graphic designing. Can you suggest me a graphic tablet or an iPad that does not burn a hole in the pocket for beginner? Thanks in advance.
@@teohyc Thanks for the recommendation! But since I'm from India, these sales doesn't do much difference to the price! Guess I'll have to go with the full price...
Hello everyone. I would like to buy a digitizer (one of the following). Ugee m708/xpen star 03 v2/gaomon m10k/huion h1060p. I am left handed. Which one is the best option?

@@polkagris623 If you want wireless, XP Pen Star 06 is good. Generally speaking, the lower priced tablets are more worth the money because, well, they are cheaper and offer almost similar drawing experience.
I also bought one drawing tablet in this Black Friday and using coupons I got a Gaomon M10K PRO for $38 in AliExpress lmao, a really low price for the Gaomon since the normal price is $65
Can anybody suggest between Gaomon M10k pro vs xp pen deco mini 7w. ( Gaomon is medium size tablet with scroll wheel and can be used wired only. But xp pen deco 7W Comes with Wireless Connectivity but have smaller working area... ) Can anyone suggest for what i should go "big size aur aur wireless connectivity" ?

Hey! I also want to buy this tablet and I'm also left-handed. can you share your experience? is it worth taking?
im looking to get this tablet, is it comfortable for left handed users? im left handed so id like to know ^_^
I thought im the only one who flips the tablet to get comfortable being left-handed! Well, its nice to know that someone also uses the same tablet 😊
This is basically a beginner tablet which is great becuase theres a lot of beginners who may not know about GAOMON

My Intuos 4L still stands strong, because no other tablet swayed me ever since I tried it

After 2 months of waiting they finally gave me my money back (I lost about 15 bucks total but it's better than losing 65) ...
Better than the M106K Pro ?

When you buy stuff from Amazon, you can click through any Amazon link on my blog and that will be great help.
Never heard of this brand before, thanks for sharing a great review!
i just bought this tablet from a house clearence for $5 but I need to buy a pen! does anyone know which model number pen I need?
cool video as usual! Cant wait for your Huion Kamvas 2021 display tablet review!
Same here!
I’ll see if I can get a review unit

May I ask how do you see where you drawed something on Gaomon
like if you draw a smiley face how do you put the detail on the right spot?
Through practice. It's like how you can use a mouse to click at an exact spot
So I've never done digital art but wanted too. Which tablet should I start with? I don't want to break the bank but it doesn't have to be the cheapest thing of all-time.
This is good. Or XP Pen Star 06, or Huion H610
Which is better M10K Pro or M106K Pro ?
which one is better ?
the 106k or the 10k ?

Not sure what's wrong. Contact Gaomon and see what they say
Activate windows ink for photoshop.
This or M106K Pro?
Nice review, Do you know if other pen's from Wacom tablets or other brands are compatible with this tablet?
Not compatible
what's better: Gaomon MK10K Pro ou Huion HS610 ?
I want to know also..
My dad has bought me a Gaomon tablet, which will arrive on Monday, I assume this is the model(looks pretty similar, i think I saw the M10K text thing on the description) but just in case, do all of the tablets include the adapters?
Just so I can connect my kinda ancient LG K40 to my Gaomon if/when it arrives
Friday***
Im so dummy :(
This seems like an old-fashioned device compared to the direct-draw tablets.
for people using a 24 inch 27 inch or a 32 inch monitor for drawing willthis size work great or you need to like for xl cariant like huion giano?
10x6 inch still pairs well up to 27-inch displays. If you're using 27 or larger displays, it's good to get larger pen tablets.

I need help. Please. How to turn on that my pen only draw when i press board??? My pen always draw!
If your pen always draw without even touching the tablet, it's spoilt. Contact Gaomon or the seller to troubleshoot. Or a replacement pen.
Hi, do you know if this tablet supports Affinity programs?
It does
I have a Chromebook and am newer to digital drawing. Is this compatibale with chromebook?
No
Can someone help me?
When I try to change the brush size with the wheel, it won't work...
What should I do?
Go into the tablet drivers, then go to set up shortcut keys. And adjust to the 'brush size' cut to the wheel tool.
Is working with Windows 10?
What drawing app are you using to draw with?
Medibang
Does this one have (finger) touch input and function as touch pad? (zoom, rotate and pan)
It does not support finger gestures
All of those can be assigned to the touch-sensitive scroll wheel
