So lovely thing I discovered today. I pulled out my drawing tablet because I wanted to try using it again. Take out the pen and itâs covered in this white crusty stuff that smells bad. I assume it came from the battery in the pen.
So I try to get the pen top off to replace the battery, but itâs stuck on there. I try pulling, nothing happens. I donât want to break it, so I donât force it to open. Go to the company website for my tablet and itâs âunder construction.â
Iâm not sure what to do now. My pen wonât work, so my tablet is useless. Iâm pretty sure the white stuff is inside the pen itself, which means it might have ruined the pen from future use. Iâve tried looking for a replacement pen by the same company on amazon but all they have are the tablets, which I donât want to buy a new one.
Iâm just kind of mad that the battery they provided leaked on me. Iâve only had this for a year and a half, two at most, and I canât even use it. This wasnât the most expensive tablet ($60 when my sister got it for me for Christmas) but I donât have money to throw away. Plus college is just draining money already.
Seriously, I should have gotten a wacom tablet instead.

Finally updated to Windows 10! Â Mostly because I have seen how older systems get dumped once there have been 2 OS upgrades (aka hardware & software you buy stops supporting your OS which is LAME)
Everything works!  EXCEPT FOR THE TABLET FUCK.  Worse news VisTablet website is kaput (which Iâve mentioned before).  There are several highly suspect and shady download websites that want to put a âdriver scannerâ on your computer to just install one drier. hmm yeah no.
There is however a fix! Â I mentioned a while back that PenPower Inc was selling the VT Muse under a different name (also selling the pens <3). Â THEY HAVE WINDOWS 10 COMPATIBLE DRIVERS. Â They work right off, none of the shitty tweaking and fiddling I had to do with Win7 + VT drivers to get my pressure sensitivity. Â
TL;DRÂ
STOP HAVING A PANIC ATTACK ABOUT YOUR PRECIOUS TABLET NOT WORKING ON WINDOWS 10. Â DOWN LOAD THE DRIVER HEREÂ
Iâve gone through two new tablets not working on my laptop at all before I gave up and bought the same model as my old one: a VisTablet PenPad. This new tablet works just fine until I pull Sai up. It wonât even work at all when Sai is actually open. I canât even use it as a cursor; it completely stops working altogether.Â
Does anyone else have this problem? If so, does anyone have a solution?
Iâm copy/pasting this review I left on vistabletâs website because there are zero reviews of this thing anywhere.
Because I didnât mention it below The VT Realm Pro is $ 199, I payed about 214.59 with tax. Compared to the Wacom Intuos Pro of the same size which is 349.99 and would be about 378.86 with tax.
And my customer service experience with each company has been night and day. I have found Vistablet to be polite and accommodating thus far, where Wacom has been pretty dismal at best.
 Iâm a professional artist and this tablet is a good alternative to Wacom. It is of comparable quality and one of the few alternatives without battery in the pen and similar accuracy for drawing/painting on a computer. The design is sleek and attractive and has the benefit of programmable buttons as youâd expect from a professional grade graphics tablet.
Itâs not perfect however;
While the pen is quite accurate on the painting page, using it to navigate on a computer can be frustrating. The pen becomes inaccurate and the cursor quivers. This can cause some mildly irritating little mistakes, such as trying to maximize a window only for the pen to quiver over and click close.
And though it boasts 2048 levels of pressure, it certainly doesnât feel that way and both times I have had one of these tablets I immediately end up messing with the settings. Otherwise youâll find you have to press extremely hard to get a solid line. And speaking of lines, this tablet is unfortunately just no good for inking because despite that boasted pressure sensitivity it lacks the nuance to do it with any sort of craft. (I remembered this much to my chagrin when I got mine today and tried to ink)
Itâs also rather small. Smaller even than itâs predecessor the Muse Pro, which I still have and is still in use. And I also find it sort of disheartening that the older model does not suffer the weird quivering cursor that the Realm does. (and again it only does this outside of the drawing space of the art program, itâs very weird).
It would be nice to have the option of a larger size, but for now thereâs just one. Which is about medium size if you wanted to compare it to itâs competition. And the drawing pad on the tablet is also less wide, a little more a squarish rectangle than the extra long ones youâll find on the intuos pro.
In short:
Pros: Cost effective, attractive design, keeps up with other graphics tablets, good for drawing/painting/sculpting, programmable buttons
Cons: lacks sensitivity and can be difficult to get nuanced brush strokes and is impossible for digital inking, on the small side, inaccurate when used for navigation
If youâre not a professional, by all means, this is a great tablet. And at half the cost of itâs competition with comparable quality. I give it a thumbs up. And if you are a professional, give it a shot though I stress that inking is very difficult. But Hopefully with development this brand will just get better.
(I stress that I still have the older model, that still works after a year, where I was replacing my wacom every single year because of the poor internal hardware construction. No such problems yet with vistablet.)
If anyone has any questions about my experience so far with this tablet Iâd be happy to answer then :)

i think the company that made my old drawing tablet is really cool, theyre a smaller company and mostly just make simpler tablets that you buy for someone starting out and one time i wrote to them for a school project and wrote back saying the ceo wanted to talk to me through email or w/e and on the website theyre always having people send in what theyve drawn with their tablet and posting it up and its all just really nice
