Review of Huion Tablet by insanejoker

So after two weeks of using this, I am satisfied.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K7YWJOO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Pros:
Customizeable buttons on the side (which i have to get used to still, keep forgetting about them)
Sensitivity is perfect
Lightweight (both pen and tablet)
Has a microsd card in it for quick saving if I need to (I also keep forgetting about this)
Pen is rechargeable, and has to be plugged in via a spot on the top to charge, but I haven't had to recharge it since I bought it despite it saying it keeps a charge for 2 hours.
The price.

Cons:
The pen gets charged up via usb to some sort of pin end (i think that's what you'd call it) on the top of the pen. It's a bit odd to draw with it plugged in
When drawing it makes a sort of 'scratch' noise against the surface. Not too big of an issue after you get used to it.
Sometimes the cursor won't go to the panels in Corel Painter, it gets stuck on the outside of them as if it only wants to resize instead of selecting new colors or layers.
Tablet isn't wireless.

SO yea. I'm super happy with this. The fact it's not wireless isn't really a con, just with all the tablets being wireless today it might be a con for some people. The only thing is that when you buy this, you HAVE to install the drivers FIRST, before you plug the tablet in.

Super excited to start streaming again with this. My line quality is going to be so much better and have more depth to it now :)

    I had to install the drivers for my Turcom too so that's not too much of an issue... also wireless is nice and all but I always get worried with whether or not things will work properly.
    Though that scratching sound would drive me insane LOL. I'll go crazy. Is it a pen on paper type of scratching? (mine does that here but it's normal for a piece of plastic gliding across another piece of plastic noise) My cat drives me crazy when he scratches the wall to cover his poop. Is it a sound like that?

    Oooo more depth and better line quality. I DO like the sounds of THAT!!

      Haha yea, it's more like pen on paper. Which I don't do often and the other tablet I had didn't sound like that, so I think it took me by surprise. It feels smooth when I draw on it though. I also have a heavy hand, so it could very well just be me pressing a little too hard on the tablet. I've adjusted the settings and I think it's helped - drawing yesterday I don't recall being annoyed by the scratching sound. Unless I just got used to it.

        Ohhh well that's not too bad. I come from traditional so that's really something that would make me want to try it out. Also more options. I've got a basic thing here (and I've yet to press any of these buttons...)
        LOL I press hard too. Prolly why there are scratches on my old thing and non stop usage really.
        Hmmm well you could be used to it if it's a sound you hear often enough. But it also couldn't be that annoying. I dunno. When my cat starts scratching plastic I start throwing things LOL.
        If it's more of a pen on paper sound then I'm fine. It's that loud scraping sound that irks me.

          No its not that sort of sound XD It's more like pen on paper. Next time I draw I'll listen carefully to what it really sounds like.

            Excellent!! If the comparison is that of pen on paper that's kind of what I'm missing in life. Now all I need is the crisp fresh feel of velum bristol board and I'm complete.

              Used the tablet for a bit. It's like pen on paper - or close to it, IMO. XD

                WEEE! I'm so in! I'll have to add this to my wishlist in the future.
