HUION 420

I am coming from a Wacom Intuos Pro, but the drivers started having issues and the tablet became too damage to actually use. I had used that tablet for about 3 years and it is almost three times as big as this tiny thing. I am using it to play Osu! and to draw digital art, and it is wonderful in both aspects. I am a low-sensitivity player on Osu!, which means I use a lot of tablet space. I thought this tablet wouldn't be good for me because it would require me to use a smaller surface, however the 4 x 3 is quite large enough to play Osu! with! Anything bigger is unnecessary, and this is coming from a low sensitivity user. A lot of people have been complaining about the pen, but honestly it is probably my favorite part. The wacom's tip didn't give way at all and made the pen feel very stiff. This tablet works wonderfull and the tip gives way slightly, making a smooth and nice writing experience. People said it was back heavy, but the weight just made it feel more firm in my hands. I grip my pen tightly, especially while playing Osu!, so the extra weight made it feel sturdy. The pen does run off of a battery which sucks a lot, but for the price of a large pizza I can't find reason to complain. If anything the size is quite convenient, when I am forced to go somewhere I can stuff it in my laptop case and carry it with me anywhere, my Wacom would have had issues with such a thing. TLDR: It is compact, affordable, and well made. It has as good of quality as my Wacom Intuos Pro, and is 1/5 the cost. The pen is a bit hefty and it runs on a battery, but as someone who grips their pen tightly, I can say that I am happy with the heavier weight. There is no reason not to buy this, even if you just want a backup for a current tablet. As an Osu! player this is the dream beginner tablet, and as someone who plays 6* maps I can say that this thing works well in action for intermediate players too.

Loved it, once I figured out that it's a little different from mouse actions. Then it only took a couple of hours of use to get very good with it. I thought it was defective out of the box because I didn't understand this at first: You basically hover OVER the pad to move the cursor, then touch the pad to left click. I was dragging the stylus tip across the pad, which seemed intuitive because that's how a mouse works, you move it on the table to move the cursor. But this is more like you hover the tip in the air, it kinda seems like magic. lol. you more or less move it in the air over the pad until you want to select or draw, then you touch the pad with the tip. This is a very good and inexpensive pen input stylus and pad. I'm not planning on being an artist making drawings, but did some drawings to get used to the pen. I had a pen input from a different company in the late 90s. years ago. I returned it. Back then these weren't really ready for prime time. I like this one. Still, it's alien compared to a mouse, since I've been a power computer user with a mouse daily since 1996, but I'm getting used to this. Main reasons I got it are: 1. To save wear and tear on my wrists, since you don't have to click anything to select. 2. To do midi art music (drawing notes, then moving them around until they work well. I've done that with a mouse, and it's much easier with this.) If you're an artist and have resisted these, this is cheap enough to give it a shot. And it worked out the box, didn't require much / any configuration. The one I had in the 90s did. Was 25 bucks on Amazon including paying extra for the three-year protection in case Bob the Cat eats it. Note: you basically hover above the pad to move the cursor, then touch the pad to left click. You can program the two buttons for different mouse actions too. (I programmed them to both be right click, since touching stylus is left click. If your computer doesn't have a CD drive for the included drivers, they're on the website of the manufacturer. So is a PDF of the short, good manual, which is good, because the included printed tablet is tiny type. The manual is available in a dozen languages. At least. One tip: also leave your mouse plugged in, at least while you get use to using a tablet if you're new to this. Bottom line: Great price, works well; what a time to be alive.

Wonderful and affordable!! Works like a charm! The only downside is that you aren’t able to change the sensitivity at all. Some osu players have found work-arounds that involve changing the size of a tablets play area to change the sensitivity, but you are unable to do that with this tablet. You also cannot change the sensitivity in-game either due to some kind of issue with Windows Ink? Changing the sensitivity to anything other than 1x will cause your cursor to stay glued to the upper left corner of the screen. Also, while holding the pen down while playing, you cannot left click. However, this issue is easily resolved by hitting F10 to disable mouse clicks in game. Overall, I think the sensitivity on my tablet was fine and felt no need to change it. It came in good condition and quality, it was affordable and even came with extra pen tips. I recommend for new osu players 100%

I got this as a Christmas gift years ago and I am now writing a review but this is an okay drawing tablet. If your someone who's new to trying drawing pads, I would go for something more expensive and a good pen. This one is pretty glitchy and pen is really weird sometimes. It doesn't feel straight, when I draw it shouldn't be a different inch.

Pros - The biggest pro is that it does it’s basic job functioning as a pen/not so glitchy. That’s all I ask for. - It is light and tiny, perfect to travel with. - It is cheap and affordable. - The pen is a nice size. - The platform lights up to let you know it senses something (helpful!). - Pressure sensitivity feature to give you nice, luscious brush strokes. Cons: - I don’t personally care for tablet pens needing a battery. It makes me have a little concern in the back of my head that I might not have a battery on hand when I need it. (that being said, this battery has lasted quite a while!) - I prefer larger surfaces for my hands to rest on. I draw with my whole arm, but sometimes I like to rest my hand in between thinking of how to make my next strokes. It’s just irritating when rubbing the side of my hand against an edge all the time. - Wish it had the feature that would remember where the cruiser was last and stay in one general area (kinda like a mouse) instead of zooming all over the screen as if you were drawing on a screen-tablet. It’s do-able, but also makes drawing a little more tricky/frustrating. - Will not work correctly if you have another art tablet installed to your computer. You need to uninstall that all first before installing the Huion 420 Drawing Pen Tablet or you will be very frustrated with it like I was. Overall, It takes some getting used to, but this is a good little pen tablet.

I rarely write reviews of products, but I make an exception when an item is truly terrible. I would not recommend this device to anyone. I was looking for a small, cheap, drawing pad that could be used primarily for signatures, notations, and grading course work. This item seemed to foot the bill. The item arrived with all the necessary hardware; USB cable, software disc, etc. This is where the problems began. I am extremely technologically savvy, yet this pushed my patience. If you do not do well with computers, you should stop reading this review now, because I can guarantee you will not find success with this product. The installation disc does not automatically run the software; nor is there a setup icon even on the disc's main page. There are two folders; one for Macs and one for Windows. For some insane reason, ALL product drivers are under the respective folders for ALL Huion tablets. Not just for this tablet, but all tablets. But again, I work with computers a lot, so I found the drivers I needed to install. No big deal. Yet even after I ran the setup, installed the driver, there was still no software. In fact, my computer kept warning me about the drivers, saying they were outdated and posed a security risk for my system. After each driver was installed, Huion MAKES you restart your computer, which is annoying. Worst of all, the tablet itself would not even stay on or stay connected. But again, I am a problem solver. So I went to Huion's website, found the freaking installation software, and installed it. FINALLY I could open up the software. The first thing I noticed was that the icon and interface looked like something out of a Windows 95 nightmare. When one opens up the application, it immediately closes. It does not run the tablet. It does not run the interface. It simply closes. Subsequent attempts to open the interface will garner you a simplistic error message: "Application is already open," which is in fact, false. Yet something is running in the background, because to give it another go, you will have to open up Task Manager, and end THREE separate processes related to the tablet functions. It was at this point I said screw it; even if I could get the software to work, the cheapness of the interface really turns me off the product. Even for $25, I expected a lot better product. The pen is also cheaply constructed, and I don't feel either product would last long. I highly, highly recommend you try a different product, even if you spend a little more.

Fantastic, I recommend it 100%! I've had mine for about 5 years and the two I purchased most recently were for gifts to friends because its so great. This tablet is fairly inexpensive for how easy it is to use and how great it works. use this product for digital art! I liked that the box came with extra pen nibs, even though after many years of use I've only really had to replace the nib once! The tablet itself is very easy to set up using the free driver on their website (or using the disc that comes with it!) The different levels of pen pressure are great for drawing! As far as usage with programs: I personally use this tablet with medibang, but from the friends I've gifted this to I've been told it also works well with firealpaca and paint tool sai. Ah another thing about the pen!! There are two buttons on it that you can program for shortcuts, though I personally disabled this feature because I have no use for it and accidentally pressing the buttons annoyed me. In addition, at first I couldnt figure out how to open up the pen to put batteries in and ended up buying the rechargeable version of the pen seperately, so I'll explain the battery pen real quick! The pen unscrews at the top of the grey grip (the part the button is on) and takes one AAA battery. Theres a on/off button on the top of the pen, make sure to keep it off when not in use to preserve battery! When battery life gets low in the pen, you'll have extremely inconsistent pen pressure.

I have a few drawing tablets(Gaomon PD1161 is a tablet I have that I've used a lot besides this one) and honestly I like this one the best as of now. It's small enough to keep in my smaller desk drawer and it only has one cord, making it really easy to manage and convenient to just plug in and use right away. If you use a lot of shortcuts(more than two) when drawing then you may benefit more from saving for a tablet with many hotkeys, otherwise this is great. My pen doesn't twist closed fully, but I think that's because it's a little old(June 2022 is when I got it) as I don't remember having this problem before. Either way, it doesn't cause any problems. The pen takes one AAA battery. Make sure you have the driver installed and open it before using the tablet. You can download the driver on the Huion download page(Click Pen Tablet, select "others" for product series, and select "Huion 420" for product name). The driver doesn't need you to have the application fully open, so if you open it and it didn't pop up the screen then it opened as a background process and you're good to draw. If you need the screen open to change the shortcuts, then just open it again(as seen in the video). If you're unsure if it's open, look at task manager and it should be in the background processes under TabletDriver. It's a good tablet by my standards but the ones who I think would benefit the most are beginners who haven't used other tablets.

Good product

Ein ganz OKAY Grafiktablett! Der Stift vom Tablett ist sehr leicht... wenn man keine Batterie ( AAA ) im Stift ist! Macht man eine AAA - Batterie rein, ist der Stift sehr schwer, aber mach gewöhnt sich nach ner Zeit. Außerdem ist die spitze vom Stift ist sehr Spitz heißt, das Tablett zerkratz sehr Schnell! Das Tablett hingegen ist klein, und perfekt für spiele wie Zum beispiel: "osu!". Es ist sehr gut für Anfänger, da der Preis sehr Niedrig und das Tablett auch eigt. nicht schlecht ist! Für erfahrene Tablett Nutzer, würde ich es nicht empfehlen, da würde ich ein Tablett für mind. 50-100€ suchen, ein gutes Beispiel ist das "Wacom Intuos Art Small Black Grafik-Tablett" für 100€! Für Anfänger würde ich das Tablett empfehlen, da es sehr einfach gehalten ist, nicht schwer zu installieren und sehr billig ist! für Anfänger nur zu empfehlen!

Una buena tableta barata llevo 1 semana probandola y todo va de maravilla precio calidad muy recomendable Sirve para osu, para diseño gráfico si apenas vas empezando (si ya tienes experiencia mejor busca otra tableta mejor) todo muy bien con la tableta, tal vez el único pero es la pluma que necesita pilas triple A y que la punta si es algo frágil pero vamos este tipo de productos siempre tienes que cuidarlos, Sin peros ni quejas lapson México ya había comprando anterior mente con ellos así que tenia la confianza que llegaría mi producto

ペンタブの購入は初めてなので使用感等はそこまで参考にならないかと思いますが、 最初は画面の大きさに対してのサイズで、移動の感度になれなかったのですが 少しづつ慣れてくるととても使いやすい事がわかりました。 ペンを動かすのに単4電池が必要ですので 切らしている方は届く前に買ってくる事をオススメします。 自分は近くの電気屋が閉まっていたので少し遠いスーパーまで走りました。 これの購入を考えている方にアドバイスですが Huion H420という3つボタンが付いている新機種が200円程の差で販売されています。 そちらもかなりの高レビューですので、これから買おうという方にはそちらをオススメします。 私はこれが届いてからそれに気が付いて悶えました・・・ 後、携帯用として、ライトな使用なら良いかと思いますがしっかり絵やイラストを描きたい方はもう少し大きい物を オススメします。 自分は割とライトな使用なのでこれで大満足です。 3つのボタンを逃したのは惜しいですが・・ｗ 最終的な評価としては 携帯式の物でかなりの低価格ですので品質もコストパフォーマンスも良いと思います。

I like this product which I received yesterday. But I didn't give full stars because I encountered a problem, a big one. When I work on photoshop and try to use any brush it shoots lines . So when I put the brush on a picture or anything I am working on to put touches or just dots, what happens after that is I have lines on the side. So there is a problem somewhere. It doesn't do that for example when I use it with Paint. I heard I need to adjust the tip of the pen but how? The software I downloaded, online, was enough to hook the drawing tablet to the computer and it doesn't offer anything else. I am not sure if it is defective. It is too early to say that. I will reinstall it and download the drivers from the CD provided. Maybe it will help. I will keep you update. I hope the seller, whom I haven't contacted, will help me with this problem if he knows any tricks to do. The product seems solid and really good but I need to figure out the problem. I might return it if there is no solution to this problem. I will do my experiments. I will keep you updated. I am writing my second review as I promised to update my first review. I put 5 stars. It was my mistake. I didn't download the right software. After downloading the right software my problem (I talked about in my first review) was solved right away. So I had the defect, not the product! It is a great pad that can be very very useful in working on Photoshop and any other painting program. I love it. Sorry for my wrong early impression. I know very well you need to be very patient with technology but sometimes I don't follow this rule. I recommend this pad. By the way, it can be used by children and adults alike.
