If anyone wants to know, I’ve had this tablet for about three years now, using it 20+ hours a week. It works well, sometimes there are a few connectivity issues but nothing too inconvenient, usually unplugging and replugging the tablet will work. Also my pen scratched up the surface a little bit so I taped a piece of paper over the surface, which gives the benefit of a more authentic drawing feel. Overall a great tablet if you’re just starting digital art, especially for its price.

I know this comment 2 months old but can I ask you to do me a BIG favor. Skip ahead if you don't want to hear my lame origin story. Along ago I got a drawing tablet. It was a HUION something or other. An I love it, an i want to do animation so I look up free animation software, do mind I don't have Photoshop. Or any pay software. An I download pencil2D the reason I wanted to use cuz it has a oion mode, an works with animation it seem to be pretty good software or that what you tube say. ------------------------------------------------------ Anyway my old drawing tablet didn't work on it an my drawing tablet is broke an I need a replacement I really don't want to tell you how I broke cuz it's really embarrasses. An I really drop the ball on that one. BUT I really want to see if deco 03 can do pencil 2D So.. the BIG favor is can you download pencil2D an see if it works with it deco 03. I know that you probably won't do it or respond. That fine I just want to ask. Anyway if you do it here a link to get the software if it doesn't work or just don't want to download here just do everybody else does look it on Google. www.pencil2d.org/download Thank you if you do check it out for me.

If you want display tablet I recommend the new Huion Kamvas 13. The neat function is that you can use it both as display or tablet. Also it's better than the new Wacom One. It costs about 200€.

1:48 Did you know that cylinder cap was to be used as a pen stand?

Is it as good a drawing experience as the Apple Pencil on the IPad?

Neat. The scroll wheel feature seems worth having, though I think other models at around the same price also have a wheel or track ball. There's no comment about the wireless technology - presumably it can be used in wireless or wired modes. Most people will use it close to the screen so wired would be OK, but sometimes wireless could be used with a screen a bit further away - for example in a class room. How far away will it work with wireless? Having to use a dongle could be a nuisance for some people, as newer computers may not have many USB ports. More dongles may force users to use a USB hub, or a different computer. It's a pity these don't work with Bluetooth with is now often built in. Most of the software mentioned relates to art - but the tablet should also work with other software. It would be useful to know about that - for example for reviewing articles, looking at spreadsheets etc. Some users would probably like to highlight text or make annotations, or mark up figures in a spreadsheet, so it would be helpful to know about whether the tablet helps for that kind of software. Some tablet models now work with mobile phones and/or directly with tablets such as Android or iPads. Does this one? It looks as though many of the models which are phone compatible are currently only Android compatible. Some people might find this feature useful - so it would be useful to know - and for some it might now be a deal breaker if they really want to use a phone. A few years on - has this model been seen to be reliable? XP-Pen kit seems to be pitched in a similar market to Huion tablets. Lastly, some users might want to use a tool like this because they are experiencing pain from RSI (repetitive strain injury) - and it would be good to know whether this would help those people, or in fact make their conditions worse.

From my knowledge, the Deco 03 seems to have no compatibility with mobile devices (except for the Deco 01 V2, but a lot of people would recommend using a drawing tablet that is directly made to be compatible with mobile devices, unlike Deco 01 V2 which is made specifically for the PC that just has a mobile device compatibility)
