Choosing a drawing tablet brand
Last updated
If you are looking for tablet recommendations, go here: Recommendations
For more information about brands: Brands
No brand's products are consistently perfect. All brands will eventually ship a product with defective units or sporadic driver problems. At some point, you will need help.
This is why you must choose a brand that:
Supports its customers well:
Is publishing driver updates
Has good documentation
Has active customer support
Has enough people using its tablets that you can get help from online communities.
I generally steer people toward:
Wacom
Huion
XP-Pen
Xencelabs
More here: Brands
You will find people who have had both good and bad experiences with each brand. In general, though, I do think Wacom offers a better customer experience overall.
Within a brand, there will be good tablets and bad tablets. Even Wacom, which is the market leader, has some tablets I would not recommend.
Instead of only thinking of the brand, consider specific tablet models.
Communities are where people learn and get help with drawing tablets. Depending on the brand, there are different options. More here: Community
