10moons 1060Plus Electronic Drawing Tablet for Kids Artists 8192 Levels Graphic Tablet Kit Compatible Windows and MAC OS

This was meant as a temporary replacement for my Wacom tablet as I had left the pen at work and was unable to find a replacement pen for anything resembling a reasonable price. This thing was only around $30 and change... and it was delivered in 2 days. I was using it to manually write on/grade electronically submitted assignments over the weekend - and TL;DR this did just fine. The amount of stuff surprised me. Some neat key points:* Drivers are included on built-in, read-only flash drive* Newer drivers available on 10moons website but are not necessary because this is essentially emulating a mouse* Does not have eraser built into pen, but +/- button on pen defaults to ctrl-z which is undo in Windows.* Performs equally well across the three major platforms, though there is NO software for defining pressure gradients and button shortcuts in Linux.* Pen nibs are super-small and easy to loose, pic on item does not truly represent size (see my pic)* Comes with extras: plastic protector for pad, carrying case, extra nibs, braided nylon USB cable, very well packaged* Not the most accurate tablet out there, but good for beginners* Worked well when using it in MSWord to draw (2016, PC), Inkscape on all platforms, MS Paint and really any other program like MSPaint.* Can be used in CAD programs, but with some patience.* the addition of all the shortcut buttons and the bezel surrounding it make it a little bulky, but as it is NOT a touch-tablet, you can put your mouse on top of it and use it as a solid mousepad without any problems at all. That clear plastic protector improves mouse tracking too.Some things to look out for:* the nibs are super-small and need to be placed in the pen holder which comes apart in the middle. That's where you store the nib remover too.* remember to put on the protective plastic cover... it separates the pen from the surface by just a hair, but it seems to improve tracking when you do.* the built-in read-only flash drive that stores the drivers is seen as a removable USB cdrom by the BIOS, which means that if left plugged in to a computer could cause the computer to try and boot off of it (and fail). Change BIOS to not first boot from USB to get past the issue. I had that issue and can confirm the workaround.* the pen can be replaced, but by another pen for another tablet that is worth as much as this entire tablet package put together...* Requires a powered USB port, doesn't do very well on a hub... even a powered one. Will eventually start connecting/disconnecting.* shortcut buttons are only programmable in the Windows/Mac software, and the settings do not get stored on the device but locally on the machine.* forget installing that other odd drawing software that is supposedly free & comes with it. It is apparently just a trial version anyway, and it's not nearly as good as Inkscape which is free.* the 10moons website has some troubleshooting steps for stuck pressure sensor issues - which I didn't have.All-in-all, you get quite a lot for your money... and because I'm not using this for ultra-detailed drawings, I'm in a good place. I expect that it will eventually die on me in about a year... but until then I feel like I got a good deal.

Really great product. The pen feels GREAT. It is really well balanced with an appropriate shape and size. FYI - This is too advanced for GIMP or old PS7. I'll try with PS CS3 if my brother still has it, and update review if he does. I tried in MS Paint - levels not really maximized, but it works. This really is a great product if it suits your needs. (I did not receive any compensation for this review. I have just been scouring the web for a lower priced really good drawing set-up recently.)

if you've never used a tablet before, this should work ok for you, but if you're used to better products like wacom or huion, then it will be very frustrating to use. i stopped using after day 2, which was over 2 weeks ago, so my memory isn't the freshest, but one of the most glaring problems i remembered was that when you hold a pen button to switch to erase, or if you assign one of the tablet buttons as space or middle click for dragging, often times it won't actually switch to that function unless you lift the pen away from the tablet out of it's senor range, for the change to register. the tablet buttons also take a lot of pressure to press, and you have to press very firmly for them to register. just because the button clicks, that does not necessarily mean the input registered. it's very annoying. i would often find myself pressing a button i assigned as 'undo', only for it to not go through, and then i remember that you have to press extra hard for it to actually work. also, i could only figure out how to change one of the pen buttons, while the other one was permanently mapped to whatever it was. i believe it was right click, which is still useful, but it would be far more useful to map a drag function instead.the build quality is ok. one of the most surprising things was that the USB cable is built in, rather than having a USB port to use a removable cable, which you'd think would be a no-brainer in 2018. if anything happens to the cable, the whole thing is effectively broken, unless you're a tech wiz who can figure something out on your own. the screen protector was also nice, and fit flush with the bezels. all of this is kind of pointless though when the functionality of the tablet is so janky. a crappy car with racing stripes is still going to drive like the piece of junk that it is.

Okay, so I bought this because my other tablet decided to quit on me and I found this thing, relatively cheap? Right? I THOUGHT I had something great!This thing somehow manages to be even crappier than WACOM. It's pen nibs are even SMALLER and crappier, the surface of the tablet is too rough and it wears down these smaller pen nibs worse than it should.That's not the best part: YOU CANNOT EVEN DRAW WITH THIS THING.I've been drawing with tablets for over four years, I know how to work a tablet, and this thing won't even LET YOU ADJUST SETTINGS which means its impossible to draw without pressing a good amount of pressure on your pen to make even one line, I cannot even get a good BASE SKETCH in, and if you're like me and need stabilizers? Good luck because this worthless hunk of plastic won't even adhere to that, because my lines are STILL coming out extremely shaky for no reason other than this tablet is a little babyback b*tch.So in short, you cannot actually draw with this thing unless you want your drawing to look like a little kid is attempting to draw with a pen that runs out of ink halfway through.Have an artist you really, really hate? Buy them this! They'll want to throw it out the window!

10 Moons tablet has liberated me from my Logitech mouse and my very old, small Wacom Bamboo. The ease of installation was super easy. Love the stylus and working in Paint Tool Sai. I use Photoshop CC 20190and have tried 10 Moons with Krita, & Blender. The tablet comes with a screen protector to protect the surface. The hotkeys work fantastic, this is a first class product and I recommend it. updated 2/10/2019
