There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
However if you're a more advanced artist, this is good enough to use in a pinch but there's better ones on the market, even by XP-PEN.
PROS:
- Simple to use. You can adjust a variety of things in the driver program and even have the macro buttons change on a program basis
- Great sensitivity. The tablet was always quick and responsive, and I never felt any lag over the full course of the year I had this
- Buttons are nice and responsive. There's a nice click to them when you use it.
CONS:
- No tilt feature. The tablet is a bit limiting in this way, however it's not a massive deal-breaker in my opinion unless you've used tablets with tilt in the past and/or rely on that. I've been perfectly fine without tilt, but I can see this as a problem for some people
- Driver program is a bit finicky at times, but still manageable. Once you get it working, it works.
Last thing I'll mention is that only in the last month or so I started running into an issue where the button would sometimes send the input twice (i.e. I press the undo button once, but it undos two times). I have confirmed it's only an issue with the tablet, however this is most likely due to how often I used this tablet. This thing got really beat up but is still working perfectly fine!!!
Huion vs Xp-Pen
This is a comparison between the Xp-Pen Deco 01 (v2) and the Huion Inspiroy H1060P. They both have nearly identical price points and specs. I got both on discounts for around $50 on average.
I am not a professional artist, but I do draw a lot (several hundred hours on my tablet) and have been paid for my work, but I'm not as skilled as professionals. I mostly do character sketches and inking comic-style.
For my style and what I need, both tablets are great. They are very precise and allow me to execute and get the end result that I want. Pen pressure ability is the same between the two, I can make clean, tapered strokes with each just fine. The Huion is set to a "harder" pressure than the Xp-Pen, and while both tablet drivers allow changing pressure curves, the Huion minimal is "harder" than the XP-Pen. All-in-all I'd say aside from the pressure, they perform identical and I've heard they they both use the same underlying hardware (unconfirmed by me), this makes sense if true.
Personally I like to use a lighter touch when drawing so I prefer the XP-Pen, which also has a much lower 'activation pressure' that the tablet recognizes before drawing pixels. With the XP-Pen, if you are touching the tablet, it's making a stroke. The Huion on the other hand requires a little pressure before it starts making a stroke. So you can lightly stroke the tablet and nothing will happen until you put enough pressure down for it to activate.
Drivers:
Unfortunately the Huion driver does not offer the option of changing the activation pressure of the tablet, just adjustment of the pressure curve (how the tablet interprets pressure after activation pressure has been reached). I don't believe it can be fixed or adjusted via drawing software either, though I think some drawing software (Photoshop, Krita, Corel, etc) might allow you to adjust your tablet to have a higher activation pressure if you want it (just not lower).
Aside from that, the Huion drivers work better with my drawing software (Krita) - by this I mean they are bug free and even work properly if I disconnect and reconnect the tablet while Krita is open.
The XP-Pen drivers are a little more buggy - they often don't reconnect properly when I disconnect/reconnect the tablet - the cursor position is fine, but the pressure will not be recognized by my computer until I exit Krita or sometimes I have to reboot the machine. There are other odd bugs like the cursor being trapped in a section of my monitor screen. This happens infrequently, but it does happen and its quite annoying.
Pens:
Both pens are nice and the new pen that comes with the v2 Deco is much better than the v1 one. The Huion pen is slightly better than both, a little heavier and it just feels a bit nicer/grippier in the hand
Physical tablet:
The XP-Pen is smaller and lighter than the Huion, but with the same drawing surface size. This is nice for travel and also allows you to place your computer about an inch closer when drawing. The Huion has 12 buttons to XP-Pen's 8. The buttons feel fine on both, I never had a button fail on my v1 Deco01.
I did have a problem with the USB port however. My Deco01 v1 broke because when plugged into the included L-Shaped cable connector, it's easy to put up/down pressure on it which can cause damage. Looking at it now, it's possible that pressure is being placed on the USB port unless maybe your table is perfectly flat, but even then it might have slight pressure. I'm going to just use a regular USB-C connector for my new one. I should note that the tablet did not break during normal use, I had the cable plugged in while I had it stuffed in my backpack and it must have been knocked or subjected to sideways pressure which caused damage to the port. Make sure to disconnect it before putting it anywhere!
Summary points:
Huion
+ Better drivers (though it doesn't allow you to set a minimum pressure). More stable, interacts with Krita better
+ Better pen
+ More buttons
- Larger, slightly more heavy
XPPen
+ Smaller, but same active drawing space, better if table space is a premium, better for travel
+ Like that it has much lower activation threshold
+ Includes drawing glove, nice touch
- USB port prone to breaking with included cable (unplug it when not in use!)
Hope this helps!
One star missing because I've experience a lot of connection issues (with the wire). Can't tell if it's the wire, or driver or tablet, but it randomly disconnects about 1/6 of the time that I use it.
Otherwise, durable nibs on pen, wire can be messy, pressure sensitivity is great, option of left handers (turns upside down so buttons aren't in way), hot keys on pen and tablet (don't use very often bc my nondom hand is on keyboard, very lightweight, nice pen holder, easy- user friendly interface program.
If you're serious about long-term drawing, would suggest investing in a better tablet (I'm also looking for a new one).
If you're new and want to experiment with digital drawing and you're on a budget, perfect choice.
If you're intermediate, still probably invest in a wacom tablet instead.
But still, I'm happy with my purchase.

One star missing because I've experience a lot of connection issues (with the wire). Can't tell if it's the wire, or driver or tablet, but it randomly disconnects about 1/6 of the time that I use it.
Otherwise, durable nibs on pen, wire can be messy, pressure sensitivity is great, option of left handers (turns upside down so buttons aren't in way), hot keys on pen and tablet (don't use very often bc my nondom hand is on keyboard, very lightweight, nice pen holder, easy- user friendly interface program.
If you're serious about long-term drawing, would suggest investing in a better tablet (I'm also looking for a new one).
If you're new and want to experiment with digital drawing and you're on a budget, perfect choice.
If you're intermediate, still probably invest in a wacom tablet instead.
But still, I'm happy with my purchase.
