Huion 8 x 5 Inches Graphics Drawing Tablet with Rechargeable Stylus - K58

I'm not very well-versed in tablets, but I heard a recommendation for this one.I own a Mac OSX Snow Leopard (10.6) with installed 8GB and I installed it with a CD I received. I don't have the soft keyboard I don't think. The whole bundle came with two cords, one for the pen and the other for the tablet both to connect into a USB. There's also a set of instructions, the tablet, the pen, and the pen holder with nubs.I followed the instructions that they give you - they're very simple, about 15~50 words per section. The pen holder is a horizontal type holder, as it mentions that the pen should typically be horizontal to reduce pressure on the nub and reducing its life. (Kind of wish it was vertical). The pen will connect to your computer, as will the tablet, but the pen has enough charge to go without for awhile.My mac identified the tablet as an unknown keyboard once I restarted after installation and it partially identified it as a mouse as well (??) but in the end it works just as a tablet should. It's a little slow on GIMP, as the cursor will move ahead of the lines, but I believe that's more of my computer's capabilities, because it's always laggy with art programs for whatever reason. It could be because I've dropped it on more than one occasion.The lines are very smooth and run the way I want them to though, so that's more than enough for me. I haven't used it for very long. Hoping to try it out more from now on.

When I got this, everything in the box was sorted out and useful except for the driver cd and the instruction manual. I've had a number of drawing tablets before this one so they are not really useful to me. I did notice that the manual seemed to be for the wireless version of the tablet though, but it's nothing to worry about. The battery life of the pen is awesome! I didn't get to charge it for a whole hour like you are supposed to, but I haven't had to charge it since Thursday! The tablet itself is alright, it has a curve at the bottom, perfect for laying on your lap. I also like how the USB cord is detachable. When I installed the drivers, I didn't have as many problems as I expected. I only had to re install the drivers 1 time. If you're a new tablet user I would recommend you downloading the drivers from the company website. They work much better and are usually a more updated version of the disk drivers. After a day or two of using it, I did have some problems with getting my cursor to move around in my paint program. It's super annoying, but only seems to effect Paint Tool Sai. I think you fix the problem by un-checking the "Tablet Pc" option in the settings.

This is a good tablet so far, though I did have to adjust some settings so that the pen didn't leave a "tail", when lifted from the tablet. Most programs, as well as the drivers, can adjust so this stops happening, but I found it annoying that the default settings left a tail. Other than that, it's a good tablet for the price, very sensitive, has a work surface that feels good- not too smooth, not too matte, and comes with four extra standard pen tips. The only thing I could ask for, were different TYPES of tips, like felt, small tip, large tip, etc. The stylus has worked quite well, and doesn't need to be charged for very long, which is an amazing improvement over pens that take batteries, or paying $100+ more dollars for a tablet with a pen that doesn't need to be charged. HIGHLY recommend this model for people who need a budget tablet, or a "beater" tablet. (Ie; one for your kids/ teenager/ travel.) I've had tablets on the very low and high ends, and this is probably the best balance between the two that I have ever seen, in terms of value for the money.

Good little unit. I, like many here, was skeptical at a non "Brand" tablet. ( Wacom has ruled this marketplace for years). I work in digital special effects for the movie industry and am used to using tablets but never bought one for home use. The Huion has performed quite well and exceeded my expectations so far. The pen charges from a USB cord and the tablet runs directly into the computer via USB as well. I use it primarily in photoshop and Krita and there are different and definite differences from app to app. Krita seems to use the pressure from the tip more smoothly for example. (I haven't changed any settings in either software packages yet though so this may just be because of my lack of tinkering with Photoshop settings). The size is nice too but there is a learning curve so be patient for a few hours and practice with it for a bit before making any judgements. All in all I think this is a nice piece of gear for the money.

While it is cheaper than a similarly sized Wacom tablet, it has a bunch of quirks you should be aware of. The pressure sensitivity is not what I'd like right out of the box. Maybe I need to dig in my application settings and tweak it a little bit, but as-is its pressure readings are either full on or none at all.... it's difficult to create a gradually thickening line. Instead it jumps from hair-fine to maximum width. It also needs a tap of the pen on the tablet to turn it back on if it has gone to sleep. If you take a break from a project and come back, turning it on in this manner will almost certainly create an unwanted mark on your artwork. It's easily corrected, but it'd be nice to just have a button click do the same thing. All in all, if you're tired of being held hostage to Wacom's prices, this is a nice alternative, but it's certainly not equal.

Came with everything advertised. Had to download drivers from their site and installed them before plugging in the tablet. So far it works pretty well with Gimp on Windows 7. I have not had a chance to try it with Linux, so I will update the post when I have a chance to do so.The only issue I have had is that the driver seems to unload itself if the laptop goes to sleep with the tablet plugged in. When it wakes up, the basic functions still work, but pressure sensitivity is gone. Don't know if this is a Huion driver issue, or if Windows grabs the device with it's own driver upon awaking before the Huion driver grabs the tablet. I'll continue experimenting with this tablet and update if there are any show-stoppers.

It worked really good for just over a year and I created some really good illustrations with it, but it stopped working after that. Specifically, its pen stopped working and without it I couldn't use the tablet. I reached the support and they were horribly late in responding to me, in the end they told me that they couldn't help me as it wasn't bought directly from a Huion authorized store. I posted the issue in some forums and found out the problem was with my pen. I set out to buy a new pen which cost Rs. 2300, which is too much for a pen. So instead, I bought another tablet that will hopefully work longer.Over-all, it works smoothly and I recommend buying it.Here are some illustrations I did with it:

Ich bin im Bereich Grafiktablet noch ein Neuling. Ich habe mich sehr lange mit der Thematik auseinandergesetzt, viele Testberichte und Erfahrungsberichte gelesen, bevor ich mich dazu entschlossen habe dieses Tablet zu bestellen und zu testen.Eindeutiger Platzhirsch hier in diesem Bereich scheint Wacom, allerdings sprengt das dann doch leider mein Budget.Beim Kauf des Huion K58 hatten mich die Bewertungen als auch der günstige Preis überzeugt. Das Tablet wurde auch sehr schnell geliefert und war klasse verpackt.Allerdings stieß mir schon beim Öffnen des Kartons ein sehr unangenehmer Geruch entgegen, der Kunststoff aus dem das Gerät hergestellt ist, dünstet extrem aus. Beim Eingabestift ist das ganz genauso. Da frage ich mich schon, ob die darin verwendeten Weichmacher nicht die Grenzwerte überschreiten, die für den europäischen Markt zulässig sind....aber egal.Das Gerät selbst macht einen guten Eindruck, die Verarbeitung wirkt nicht billig und alles in allem sieht das Gerät nicht schlecht aus. Auch der Eingabestift liegt gut in der Hand. Mit im Lieferumfang enthalten sind extra Stiftspitzen, ein Werkzeug zum Wechseln der Spitzen, ein Stifthalter und Anschlusskabel für Tablet und USB Kabel zum Laden des Stifts. CD zum Installieren der Software liegt auch bei.Nach Laden des Stiftes habe ich das Tablet angeschlossen und alles wurde wunderbar von Photoshop CC erkannt. Erstaunt war ich über die Genauigkeit beim Zeichnen und der Druckempfindlichkeit. Aber ich habe ja auch keine anderen Vergleichswerte.Auch für mich als Linkshänder war die Bedienung des Tablets ohne größere Einschränkungen möglich.Jetzt kommt das eigentliche KO Kriterium warum ich das Tablet bereits nach wenigen Tagen wieder zurück geschickt habe. Es besitzt leider keinerlei Funktionsknöpfe, so dass man bestimmte Funktionen dort programmieren könnte. Wer viel Bildbearbeitung oder Grafikdesign macht, der möchte auch mit Shortcuts arbeiten können, um seinen Workflow zu verbessern. Wenn man aber ständig zwischen Tablet und PC hin und her langen muss, sei es denn um etwas zu vergrößern oder auch andere Funktionen, dann ist das sehr lästig.Jetzt werden manche sagen, man kann ja über die Funktionsleite im Programm die einzelen Funktionen auswählen mit dem Eingabestift, aber auch das unterbricht das flüssige arbeiten.An Genauigkeit ist ein Grafiktablet gegenüber einer Maus sicherlich klar überlegen und die Arbeit macht auch mehr Spass, aber dieses Tablet macht keinen Spaß, da tröstet auch nicht der überaus günstige Preis hinweg.Ich habe jetzt gelernt, dass man wohl doch einfach etwas mehr Geld investieren muss, möchte man ein qualitativ hochwertiges Gerät für diese Anwendung haben.Für den kleinen Geldbeutel und kleinen Anspruch an Funktionalität, ist das Tablet aber durchaus in Ordnung. Und vielleicht sind die etwas höherpreisigen Geräte von Huion gar nicht mal so schlecht.

Al principio hubo problemas con respecto a la compatibilidad de los drivers en mi computadora (windows 10), principalmente en la instalación de estos pues las instrucciones parecen ser un tanto ambiguas y en ciertas partes un tanto difíciles de comprender. En cuanto a cables, pediría a algo con más resistencia, a pocas semanas de uso ya están presentando ciertos deteriores que son menores pero que en cierta forma son concertantes.Llegó en forma y tiempo estimado, no hay daños en el producto ni en mayoría de sus accesorios de fábrica (mencionaba anteriormente a los cables para carga del lápiz y el cable para conexión de la tableta a la computadora). Muy bien empaquetado, en buena presentación orgánica y sin aparatosos diseños en el empaque que es agradable a la vista, pues te presenta a la tableta que en buena parte es intuitiva de usar, claro que no hay que evitar leer sus manuales. Su software que descargué de la página de Huion (para tener un driver actualizado) muestra muy buenas opciones para la personalización de la misma y llevar un ambiente más tranquilo y versátil a la hora de trabajar.En cuanto a la respuesta a la hora de operar en cualquier programa (Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Paint Tool Sai, Corel Painter, etcétera) trabaja con una calidad impresionante para su precio que no es motivo para negarse a mi lista de las tabletas digitalizadoras favoritas. Una muy fuerte competencia para su competidora Wacom Intuos, y en mi opinión muy buena calidad, gran alternativa de ésta y en ciertas funciones superior. Recomendada para principiantes y profesionales en el mundo del diseño digital, edición cinematográfico y fotográfico, animación, escultura en 3D, y dibujo.

Using this product for close to a year, works perfectly well. Writing surface is about 80% of an A4 size paper & gives good feedback while writing with the included pen, almost like a normal pen on paper. The included pen is comfortable to grip. Software is quite nifty, & includes a white board for writing equipped with all basic features like different types of pens (bold, fine tip, calligraphy etc) with different colours & textures, erasor etc. Highly recommended.

habe das zweite Tablet dieser Serie super Qualitätfunktioniert präzise zum bearbeiten von Bildern.Jetzt kommen wir aber zum Stift Ob Akku oder Batterie sind mir beide nach nicht mal 10 h Nutzung kaputt gegangen.Man kann aber für wenig kohle einen neuen Stift erwerben wie in meinem fall hab ich kein bock nochmal das ganze zurückzuschicken und solange zuwarten.Also wenn es machbar ist den Batterie betriebenen Stift dazukaufen weil der mit Akku totaler naja ich sag es jetzt mal nicht ist.Aber sonnst jeder zeit wieder gern Top Tablet !!!!
