VEIKK A30 Digital Graphics Drawing Tablet, 4 Touch Keys 1 Panel, Battery-free Pen Pad, 10×6 Inch Electronic Writing Tablet,for Laptop PC Windows Mac and Linux

I received my Veikk A30 tablet this week, delivery was extremely fast (and free for Amazon Prime members!). The box design had me excited from the get go, tells you what you need to know in terms of report rate speed (250 RPS), Lines per inch (5080 LPI), levels of pressure sensitivity (8192) and size 10”x6” all of which are particularly impressive given the low price of the tablet.On opening the box, all components were well packaged with the tablet itself on immediate view with the accessories tidily stored underneath. You get;• A30 tablet• Battery free stylus pen with two hot key buttons• Type C USB adaptor cable• Nib replacement tool with spare nibs• Quick start guideHandling the tablet it feels light, looks extremely sleek and barely thicker than my smart phone. I was thrilled to find that it fit comfortably inside one of my padded laptop bag compartments although I can see the benefit of buying a tablet pouch to protect it rather than leave it on my desk inbetween uses.Setup was surprisingly straightforward and devoid of some of the language issues I’ve encountered when installing other Chinese gadgets. The tablet is powered via the USB cable so no need to charge it for first time use and plugging it into my Windows 10 laptop launched the setup utility. After a reboot, the utility launched on startup to enable me to set the hot key settings. Even though by default the stylus is set to work as a pen rather than a mouse, hovering the stylus over the tablet, without making contact gained immediate control of the mouse cursor. By default the primary stylus hot key was set to right mouse click but this was quickly changed to left mouse click whilst I configured the tablet and got used to using the stylus. The position of the stylus hotkeys and moving the cursor when hovering above the tablet takes a bit of getting used to but very quickly I stopped looking at the tablet and was navigating the software just from looking at my screen.In addition to the two hot keys on the stylus, there are an additional 4 hot keys on the tablet that you can tailor to input your most frequently used settings in your sketching software. Within 10 minutes of opening the box, I was already using the stylus to sketch directly into photoshop. If I had one criticism, the stylus feels a little light and could do with being heavier but that’s probably a personal preference. I would also love to see a stylus holder mounted on the tablet itself, I can see myself spending time hunting for this in future!I want to spend a few weeks using the tool in earnest and complete a full drawing project before I can really comment on how the tablet has helped my creative process but on first impressions the VEIKK A30 appears to be a well designed quality product, simple to use with very good performance specs for an amazing price. Highly recommended.

Firstly, when I received the Veikk A15, I was pleasantly surprised with the size of it - compared to my first starting tablet, the Wacom Intuos, the A15 was about 3 times as big, with plenty more space to draw on (which is especially useful if you have larger hands) - meaning I had plenty more ways to experiment with strokes and brushes. I was impressed with the quality of the tablet and what came with it considering I didn’t get any of this with my Wacom Intuos. For example, it comes with a drawing glove to prevent staining on the tablet, a comfy felt case for the pen (which includes hotkeys on the pen, which I love to bind to ctrl-z to make erasing mistakes super easy and quick) and one wire which was really easy to plug into my laptop. The tablet itself was very beautiful aesthetically, and had 12 hotkeys, which the Intuos also didn’t provide when I first started out with digital art. This makes art super easy to switch to brushes/erasers/selections etc. rather than having to select each option on screen. Furthermore, the driver was super easy to install (which I downloaded on veikk.com) and took less than 5 minutes - so no stress over downloading the driver correctly was present. The pen pressure was extremely smooth and there was no lags in my lines. You can also adjust the tablet’s surface to fit the whole of your screen in the driver settings - making all that space really worth the purchase. Overall, being cheaper than a Wacom Intuos (a basic wacom screen tablet) I would recommend the Veikk A15 as a starting tablet for more room to draw, hotkeys to make switching to each tool 100% easier and for how easily the driver was to install.

When I opened my VEIKK A15 I was very impressed with how the product looked - very smooth and professional looking, and matches the aesthetic of my desk well.This tablet offers a lot of features for the price. I very much enjoy the large drawing surface, as it allows a lot of fluid hand movements for expressive lines. The hot keys are very easy to assign to do whatever I want, and works well in any drawing program - I've been using it mostly with clip studio paint.My favourite part about it is just how many levels of pressure sensitivity there are - all of my drawing lines come out incredibly smooth and this allows me a lot of freedom with line weights in my drawings and digital sculptures.I did have issues getting pressure sensitivity to work with Photoshop, but I usually draw in other programs and found it to work perfectly in these, such as CSP, SAI and Medibang. For the price, however, the tablet has great potential and I really enjoy drawing with it.
