Veikk Voila L pen tablet: A new alternative on the market

28/12/2022 Julie Powell


For a long time, there has only really been one name on the market for drawing tablets. But for the beginners out there it can be a bit pricey, and let’s face it, a little daunting. So now there is a new player on the market and for a bare-bones, nothing-too-fancy pen tablet. The Voila L by Veikk is a terric deal at under $50.00. Let’s have a closer look!

  • Smooth and comfortable matte surface to work on

Our verdict

Veikk Voila L Pen Tablet

At this price, it really is a bare-bones budget-friendly pen tablet, especially for beginner/intermediate users. Nothing fancy just a good stable surface to work with offering terric details for editing, drawing and creating.
