GAOMON WH851 펜 태블릿

I came back here after 6 months of using this tablet because i thought the future clients deserve to be reassured that this tablet is absolutely amazing. Besides the attractive color, Its surface is smooth, and the pen sliding against it feels and sound like real paper, and it’s large enough to move your hand so drawing on it is really comfortable! 8 personnalized buttons and a scrolling wheel, too many option and i honestly think it’s more than enough! The scrolling wheel is so adorable, it makes a ticking sound with each tick a corresponding value is assigned (for increasing brush size for example, each tick is 1 px, if you scroll faster it multiplies i think)

Battery : As for the battery, I’m surprised at how much it can hold! The pen itself is battery free so no need to worry about charging it, but the tablet is able to hold up to 72 hours of usage according to the website, which is true because i use it for at least 4 hours a day on average, and i don’t have to charge it in weeks ! A good thing about it is that it automatically shuts down after about 10mins of inactivity.

Driver : The driver could use some updates and tweaks, like showing the real percentage of the battery or such, but it’s pretty easy to use to set up shortcuts and orientation. It’s left handed friendly which is really cool!

Pressure sensitivity : it got sooo many levels, I’m not sure how that works and what 16K pressure means but i can feel that it’s a lot! It detects the smallest change in pressure which allows you to draw smoothly, and all of that can be changed and modified to your liking in the driver settings!

It’s also pretty light it became my road friend hahah i take it to university and it doesn’t take much space. I can safely say that it’s pretty solid too. I dropped the pen many times from a desk level and it’s still working perfectly.

It also got like freaking 30 spare nibs ! The original one i had 6 months ago is in good shape and can last for another 6 months, at this point this tablet can stay with me for my next 30 years of life!

Overall, I’m so satisfied, probabely the best thing i spent my money onto. The quality is really good for its price. I had a wacom before and i still prefere this one. This brand is so underrated!!

The tablet is a good medium size, not too small and not too large so it's able to fit most desk setups. The pen doesn't need to be charged, nor does it need a battery so you won't have to worry about going to draw only for the pen to be dead. My only complaints regard the scroll wheel and button. First off the scroll wheel makes clicking sounds when spun, it's about as loud as the average keyboard click and could get annoying if you're drawing with someone in the same room. Second off you're not able to program the scroll wheel button. It's only used to cycle between the 3 different scroll wheel functions, not to mention that if you only want to use 2 functions with the scroll wheel, you still need to cycle through the unused function even if it isn't mapped to anything.
Despite my scroll wheel related gripes, I still think the WH851 is a great choice if you want to get started with digital art and I would recommend it.

Looks cute (the best part), works fine. Size is compact and good for transportation. The pen pressure sensitivity is maybe a bit too sensitive and tricky compared to the other models until the muscle memory adjusts.
The modifier keys didn't work on keyboard when setting the short cut buttons, it's a software issue so reverted back to no shortcut button usage (on Mac). Hopefully it can be fixed in future updates.

Color is great. I love it.
