Community
Overview
Community plays an important part in the overall experience of using a drawing tablet. Most people get help and answers from other users rather than from the manufacturer. So it helps to know which communities exist.
Reddit
For many years, Reddit has been home to many active drawing tablet communities. Some of those subreddits are listed below.
Keep in mind that these are community-supported. You might occasionally see someone from a tablet brand support team, but these subreddits are not official support channels.
Discord servers

Prominent community members
Brand-hosted community sites
Tablet brands also host their own community sites. For drawing tablet brands, these communities are usually not very large, and they do not get many questions or solutions.

What you find in online communities
In online communities on Reddit, you may notice that the vast majority of posts are complaints. That is normal. It is true for almost any online community focused on a product. Most people only post when they have a problem. People with smooth, trouble-free experiences rarely post about them.
However, online forums can still be very useful when choosing a brand or model. For example, if you see many questions or recurring problems about a certain model, that should factor into your decision.
