Artist friends, let me just tell you a thing. FUCK Wacom. Fuck Wacom and their planned obsolescence, fuck Wacom and their broken drivers, fuck Wacom and their over-priced tablets. For years weâve dealt with them with no alternatives but let me tell you a thing.
I recently found out my Intuos 4â˛s Pen had broken and rather than spend ÂŁ60-89 for a new one I decided to get a new tablet. Now, I could get the new âIntuosâ (which is just the re-branded Bamboo) and i was going to until I found this beast.
This is the Huion H610, it has almost twice the drawing space of the low-end Intuos and double the pressure levels. The one and only negative is that the pen requires a battery.
Not only that, it is larger than my Intuos 4 which I paid ÂŁ150 for back in the day. Know how much this cost? ÂŁ55. The same as the basic Intuos.
I am in LOVE with this thing. Letâs compare this with the lowest of the low end Wacom Intuos line.
               Intuos      Huion
Active Area:   6 by 3.7 in    10" x 6.25"
Pressure Levels:Â 1024 Â Â Â Â Â Â 2048
Hard Input Res:Â 2540 LPI Â Â Â 4000 LPI
Express Keys: Â Â Â Â Â 4 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 8
Not to mention the Intuos is HIDEOUS with buttons that are in incredibly awkward places.
The fact that a ÂŁ55 matches and exceeds the ÂŁ150 Intuos 4 I bought years ago speaks worlds. And do you know what the very final nail in the coffin is?
THE DRIVERS. ACTUALLY. WORK.
Itâs time Wacom had some real competition in the market, if youâre looking for a new tablet please consider a Huion over a Wacom. I used to be a Wacom fanboy too but now?
Here is the H610 on Amazon UK and Amazon US.
All I can find is good reviews on this thing and people doing the same thing I am doing, trying to convince people itâs worth it. So⌠You have the information, use it as you will.
@mazzlebee @blarghnessrawr @shibara @plantmandotexeretired and any other artsy people following me who Iâm forgetting to tag at 6 in the morning
Fck. I didnât know they all did this. I thought I was getting a deal buying a Wacom but the driver refused to update after about a year and the pen died around the same time and replacing the pen was nearly as much as a whole new tablet so I bought a different brand. I ended up getting the Huion H610 shown above and it was definitely worth it. Other broke artists please save yourself the headache :/
Iâm not an artist, but just a small correction for OP: itâs actually almost 3x the space. Each dimension is almost 2x as long, but the AREA is about 2.8x bigger. So youâre underselling it by saying itâs twice as big.
please get yourself a huon instead of a wacom
I bought a huion a while back and itâs pretty great.Â

Four years later, and the equivalent Huion seems to be the 640P. It apparently has 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity, and the stylus no longer requires a battery.
I have a Huion it connects to my phone and is super handy cause i need a new computer
