I've worked in post-production for years as a compositor and vfx artist. I've primarily used Wacom tablets from the Intuos line through the Cintiqs, doing sketch work, matte paintings and digital set replacements. One of my tablets is an older Intuos 4 that is starting to go wonky after almost 15 (!) years. When I found this Veikk Viola L 10x6 Graphics Tablet, I thought I'd try it out... especially at it's low price, I knew it was a very small risk to do. I'm very happy with what I found! PROS Wireless Stylus with 2 Switches: no batteries anywhere! I'm assuming that this stylus uses a similar radio-frequency chip that the Wacoms use instead of being battery powered. I've seen other cheaper tablets that artists will bring in, and the batteries never really hold up. The stylus detects 8192 levels of pressure, and supports tilt as well. Preference Panel Options: I'm running the macOS, and the Preference Pane that gets installed when you load the tablet driver from Viekk's website is awesome. You have full control over the 4 buttons and the Twist Dial. Tablet Mapping: this is a 10x6 inch digitizer so with a 1080p HD or 4k monitor, you'll need to map corresponding reference points. This is easily done in the Preference Panel, as being either All (total display area) or Part (selected region). It's clean and fully functional. Left/Right-hand placement: if you are right-handed, you typically would place the Dial and Buttons at the top left corner of the tablet; if left-handed, the dial and buttons are at the bottom right corner. There is plenty of surface on the tablet to rest your hand easily outside of the digitizer region that the dial and buttons are convenient and not in the way. Wired USB-C connection: I'm calling this a Pro, since I don't need batteries or one more stupid dongle to lose. All you need is a basic USB-C cable, and I've tested this with a 10 ft cable. Every now and then I'd notice a slight lag or hitch, but that goes away with a 6 ft cable. CONS Tablet Surface: when you are doing intricate work or putting pressure down, it's totally fine. But with long strokes, I often get a "squeeky" sound. I don't know enough if there are different type of nibs that can work for this stylus, but I might look into a clear overlay that will fit over the digitizer and provide a different resistance. Overall, I am really impressed by this Viekk tablet. It just WORKS. Spend about 5 mins or so setting up the preferences, and this took about 30 minutes to feel totally comfortable. It worked fine in Photoshop, in Illustrator I couldn't get the pressure to work consistently, but I think that might be an Adobe issue (search for Pen Pressure and Illustrator online). For less than $50, this is a very capable and well-thought out product. One thing that I grew to like is the two colors for keycaps... I left K1 and K4 (the double-width keycap) orange to tell their functions apart, and they are just visible enough in my peripheral vision to be noticed. Great thinking and execution there. I honestly recommend this tablet. It's clean, it works, and it is precise. If for some reason, I lose it, drop it or it gets stolen, it's an easy replacement, versus the pricing on Wacoms. Heck, I feel smarter for getting this tablet! : )

This is a very spacious drawing tablet that's very sensitive, smooth, and pleasant to use! I absolutely love it. I like that the pen doesn't need to be recharged and doesn't use a battery, so I never have to worry about that. I'm a hobbyist graphic designer and though I have tried other drawing boards on applications like photoshop before, this is the one that I found more useable; mostly because of how big it is and how easy it is to hold and use the pen it comes with. I love the presentation, the box is very clean and neat and everything on it is arranged neatly. There's software for this tablet that you can use to customize the additional buttons which come in the box as well as to adjust the whole tablet experience to fit your needs. Overall, this is the most usable drawing tablet I have used so far, I think it's worth the asking price and I recommend it.

for pixel art (which is what we are using it for) this drawing pad is awesome. Takes a little getting used to holding the pen/pad correctly and the settings and buttons, but, overall we are happy with this.

I've used it with Photoshop and Blender and it works great for both of them. It's very responsive and the texture makes it have a good amount of resistance and accuracy. The pen is comfortable to hold. The tablet is slim and easy to put away when you're not using it. Great if you're looking for a drawing tablet without a display. My setup in case it matters: Intel 8th gen I5 Nvidia 3060ti 24GB DDR4

I just have this to explain something in Zoom with basic graphics. I like the helper software. I adjust the keys and the wheel according to my need. I also tried it with The GIMP app. I can say that, it is better than a beginner tablet.
