Huion H610 Pro V2 Graphic Drawing Tablet Tilt Function Battery-free Stylus and 8192 Pen Pressure with 8 Pen Nibs

EDIT March 2020: I'm still using this product and I still stand by my rating. Still works like the first day I had it. The plastic protector is still holding up and the pen still works perfectly fine!! Just wanted to give an update that this is still a GREAT tablet to get if you don't have the money for the newest Huion or a Wacom.

If you dont want to read my novel of a review below here's the quick version of my review for this tablet. I thoroughly enjoy using this tablet. It does exactly what I want and I didn't have to pay hundreds of dollars for it. If you are a student, hobbyist, or professional who wants to draw/3D model/whatever else with a tablet, I definitely recommend this. As someone who uses a Intuos 4 at work, this is definitely comparable, if not better than the Intuos, mostly because of the price and it works flawlessly with Windows latest update.

**Pros / Cons of Product:**
+ Price
+ Size overall and size of drawing surface is perfect
+ Came with drawing surface protector that was extremely easy to apply
+ With drawing surface protector on, doesn't feel rough and no scratches after heavy use
+ Has pen holder and 8 pen nibs
+ Pen pressure levels
+ No recharging the pen (as other Huion tablets you do have to)
+ Works with latest Windows Update and Windows Ink can be disabled
+ Can customize orientation of tablet and disable buttons in the software
+ Simple to set up software
- Tablet and pen feel really lightweight, wouldn't want to put much weight on the pen for fear of it breaking
- Can't save button configurations for multiple applications
- Pen loosely stands in pen stand

I will be updating the longer I use this product, but I believe this tablet works extremely well for me, and hope others will find my review pretty thorough so they can decide whether they'd like this product as well.:)

I use a Wacom Intuos tablet at work 40+ hours a week for the past 5 years doing 3D modeling and texturing. Never been able to think the price of a Wacom was worth getting one for myself at home. I began researching alternative brands and ran into the Huion website. Found the products to be extremely affordable and the reviews I read on their products on other sites (Amazon, Reddit, art forums) were always well and were comparable to Wacom. Decided to take the dive and buy this new H610 Pro V2 tablet, mostly because you don't have to recharge the pen (unlike the other Huion tablets), and the size fit on my desk at home. I typically become skeptical of smaller brands with oddly affordable prices, but I decided the price was worth a shot at least try it. After using it for a week, here is what I've found about the tablet.

** Extensive Review**
I do have to admit, when I first unboxed the tablet I immediately thought of this: "Wow this is extremely light." I'm not sure what materials are used for this, but it is definitely a lighter-weighted plastic than the Wacoms. Even the pen feels kind of light and empty, like even the thought of sitting on it could break it. It's not an extremely bad note just something that I immediately noticed.

The pen is comfortable to hold and the buttons work extremely well. I have small hands and I actively use the nib and two side buttons for work and browsing the web and haven't found anything unusual about the pen. There is no eraser button at the top end of the pen, but I wouldn't have used it anyway even if it was there. Extremely responsive and fits my hands well and I actually like how light weight it is. It does feel a bit loose standing in the pen holder, but it's not that big of a deal to me. Also comes with 8 extra pen nibs in the pen holder and its great you don't have to charge this pen, its battery-less. When I'd doodle in Photoshop, it never stuttered or lagged and was extremely responsive to pressure and button presses.

The entire tablet size is about 9.5" x 14". The drawing surface is a full 6.5" x 10". As you can see in the pictures I attached, whatever is made to look like the drawing surface, is the actual drawing size. It's not a subsection of drawing surface like the Wacoms. You can draw to the entire edge of that drawing surface, it even gives you some leeway and recognizes if you go over the drawing surface and onto the tablet surface. You are however able to customize the size of the drawing surface in the software if you feel thats too much drawing space for you.

There are soft touch buttons on the drawing surface, but I don't ever use those and intentionally covered them with the drawing surface protector that Huion provided with the product. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of the soft buttons before I attached the protector, which by the way was extremely easy to attach and the texture of it is great and not extremely noisy or rough. It has firmly stuck to the surface and I dont notice it when I'm actively drawing. You can see in a pic I have it lifted so you can see the actual surface. There are also buttons on the side of the tablet with some pretty cute icons. I don't really use the buttons because I work in a 3D program called Maya, I have to use keyboard shortcuts more than premade buttons on the tablet. So unfortunately won't be able to say much more about that.

Now I am going to tell you the selling point which really pushed the tablet to be 5 stars.... it WORKS PERFECTLY WELL WITH THE LATEST UPDATE OF WINDOWS AND WINDOWS INK!!! I have had problems with the Wacom tablet at work to work on the latest update of Windows and Windows Ink. I thought it was on my end, but upon researching found that a lot of people have been having the same issues since one of Windows recent updates. Those issues make it impossible to work on Windows right now, but here I am... able to work with this Huion tablet. Thank you thank you thank you to the Huion employees who was able to figure out how to get the tablet to be functional again with Windows. I can DRAG internet browser windows, I can RIGHT CLICK in internet/desktop browser, there is no lag when I right click anywhere, it works perfectly well and I'm actually able to work.
.
Also, the software used to set up the tablet is extremely simple to set up and I'm able to customize how I set up my tablet. Example, I have my computer tower on my right side, and the tablet has the USB cord on the left side. At first I thought I was going to have an ugly wire run across my desk, but I found I can turn the tablet 180 degrees and tell the software thats how I have it, and it works! I can turn off any and all buttons on the tablet and pen, I can have the tablet work on only one screen or both, can turn off Windows Ink, have it screen ratio'd to my monitor set up, or even make a custom drawing area. It would be nice if you can make changes to the button set up according to what program you have open, but I'm just happy it works for me in general.

I work professionally as an artist using Photoshop CC on a Windows 10 computer. The 610 Pro V2 is my 4th tablet. The first two were Wacoms, Third tablet the Huion 610 Pro V1, and now the Version 2 610 Pro is my 4th.

Several thousand hours using the Wacoms and the 610 Pro V1. Now accumulating hours on the 610 Pro Version 2. This tablet is an outstanding value. Great sensitivity. Very smooth transitions generally no matter what setting I use in Photoshop CC Brush Presets. The battery free stylus is a real plus.

Originally I had my doubts about the usefulness of the "tilt" function. I got along just fine without this function with the V1 stylus. But now that I have had ample time to use the tilt function I do find it useful on occasion.. It required a lot of experimentation in Photoshop CC before I realized the value of tilting the stylus. Some very useful effects can be achieved.
More on the tilt function. I use the function for "brush rotation" in Photoshop. The brush does rotate. However I have yet to achieve a smooth incremental angle rotation as I vary the stylus angle. The brush angle tends to rotate at 90 degree increments....most of the time. I do plan to contact Huion support to clarify this issue. The pressure sensitivity of the stylus is excellent for size and fade. Not so with the rotation sensitivity. Hardly a deal breaker since tilt is not that important when painting.
This tablet/stylus is for both the beginning digital artist AND the experienced pro.

So I just got this tablet today, unboxed it and checked it out.. light weight? pretty comparable to other electronic devices and there accessories it felt fine. I installed the driver and attached the USB cable and tried it out in blender and no pressure sensitivity.. looked around online and there isn't much info on this. after looking around for a bit I uninstalled the drivers rebooted to make sure I had no other applications open then reinstalled drivers and opened blender again and it worked, so far I've used this in Krita, Photoshop 2017 and Blender and Hell's yes very pleased with my purchase. In response to the bad reviews... really?

I'm happy with my product.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Update to my review.

After using this product for a few days in various programs. Photoshop, Krita, Blender 8.0 (Grease Pencil). The issues that I had were not related to the tablet's, hardware, firmware or software. There was no software Cd with drivers that came with the product, but instruction for downloading them from Huion's website which I'm fine with. The first driver install was problematic and the device didn't function properly because I had a graphics application open during the installation, there are clear instruction to close all application's before installing driver's. I uninstalled Huion's software, rebooted my computer, opened nothing and then reinstalled the driver's and everything worked as advertised, and the tablet is fully customizable via there software interface.

My system.. My system is an MSI laptop with I7 2.8 MGH 16gb of ram and a 6 gig NVIDIA graphics card. any Issues I had with lag were software issues specific to the application used and not hardware related. Graphics programs are resource intensive and put a load on your system if you don't have the resources available or resources properly allocated to said software you will have problems working with larger files tablet or no tablet.

Line quality? It took a minute to get used to using a tablet and figure out what was a hardware issue vs software vs user error. the pen is very sensitive and will show every mistake, In blenders Grease Pencil I used auto smoothing to compensate for my shaky hand and it worked great and felt natural like I was sketching on paper and it became a non issue. I didn't find an adjustable auto smooth in my version of Photoshop but from what I understand the latest version does have it, Krita crashed a few times and has known issues with open GL that was broken after a Microsoft update, that made figuring things out a bit buggy but once that was resolved I found that I was able to use there setting's to set up auto smooth and improve line quality there as well. I think a good base for sorting out issues and what I did was unbox the product set everything up as directed by Huion then use Microsoft Ink to test the tablet and pen and resolve issues so you know whats what if its the hardware or system or software, and then move on to the applications that your going to use the tablet with.

one last thing on line quality, another thing I realized was sketching on a letter sized document at 72 or even 100 dpi with a 10px brush is going to be problematic and look horrible vs a 10000 X 7000 px document at 300 dpi where I have more pixels to represent the line the image quality and line quality is going to be far better and print better with the larger document size, of course adjust the numbers to work with your systems resources and whats practical for you.

The cons? Directed at Huion regarding the design of the pen.. you give me two switches on the pen that I cant find with my fingers, make there profile higher so there in the way enough to figure out where my fingers are on the pen, two flat spots on the sides incorporated into the grip for orientation also please, make it so the pen has sides. also seriously you cant throw in a third switch on the back end of the pen as an eraser, would that break Huion's piggy bank?

To summarize: I found no problems with the hardware or the drivers for this product that weren't self inflicted or caused by the limitations of my own computer and or software that I used the tablet with, one small complaint that I have been able to happily deal with is that the pen needs a couple of small minor changes.. and the tilt? check the software that your using the tablet in and look for tilt settings in your brushes and adjust those, my tilt seem to work as good as my ability to set up the software for it.

that's all happy Huion Customer here and I look forward to using more of there products....

added note: this works flawlessly with Autodesk Sketchbook (now free)

5.0 out of 5 stars Pleasantly surprised and so satisfied

Honestly I was sceptical at first because I wondered if I should buy a tablet with a built in screen. I received it and I've never been more pleased! It's super fluid, easy to use and install. It gets a day or two to get used to it but after that the fun is yours. It also depends on the software you're using, I'm using Clip Paint Studio on a MacBook Air and everything is running super smoothly. It is also quite big and very light so it's great for drawing space. Excellent for beginners like me who want to get into digital art!

5.0 out of 5 stars Avaliação do H1060P (recebido como alternativa ao H610 PRO v2)

Esta é minha primeira mesa digitalizadora e estou bastante satisfeito com a qualidade do produto! Cumpre tudo o que promete, foi muito simples de instalar e configurar e não apresentou nenhum problema nessas duas semanas de uso. A pressão da caneta e inclinação funcionam perfeitamente.

Trata-se de um modelo com a área de desenho extensa, de forma que para navegações no computador como Menu Iniciar e fechar janelas fica a impressão de ser "grande demais". No entanto, como a área de trabalho nos softwares costuma não ocupar a tela até as extremidades, a área de trabalho fica ótima, pois permite um bom grau de detalhe e precisão no movimente sem a necessidade de utilizar tanto o zoom.

O número de botões de atalho também é muito bom, mas eu permaneço utilizando o teclado para a maior parte dos atalhos.

Enfim, estou muito feliz com a aquisição e recomendo!

A mesa atendeu todas as minhas expectativas e foi além. Estava muito em dúvida sobre comprar uma huion e prezar mais pro lado econômico e área de trabalho ou uma intuos e gastar mais por uma área menor. Depois de tantos reviews, finalmente decidi comprar essa mesa digitalizadora e valeu cada centavo. A caneta é bem gostosa de segurar, nada a reclamar dela, o suporte é perfeito e economiza embalagem ao comportar as 8 pontas extras da caneta dentro. Bem fácil de trocar as pontas também, não que tenha precisado, apenas tirei pra ver como era e até acho que não vai gastar nunca, uso ela por pelo menos 2h por dia e nenhum problema. Um dos fatores que me fez escolher essa mesa são os botões que vem do lado, utilizo bastante, principalmente o zoom. Eles têm os desenhos tipo lápis, borracha, aumentar ou diminuir o tamanho do pincel, mas você pode mudar os atalhos e colocar o que quiser. As soft keys em cima não uso, não fazem falta e não são um problema. Consegui conectar normal a mesa no celular e apenas não utilizo porque prefiro desenhar no computador mesmo, somente vi pessoas falando que em alguns celulares não aparecia o cursor, o que dificulta desenhar. No meu celular aparece e não tive dificuldades nenhuma.
A luvinha que vem de brinde é muito boa, só que é um pouco pequena para minha mão, que nem é das maiores, mas a pessoa pode comprar uma luva baratinha separada ou até fazer em casa.
Resumindo: essa mesa da huion é a perfeição, pode comprar sem medo.

Honestly, I'm actually blown away from the quality of this tablet. It has a moderately-sized working area and its drawing capabilities are very robust. The only thing is when you set this tablet up you have to delete any Wacom drivers on the computer.

If you compare this tablet to the small Wacom Intuos Tablet the drawing experience is literally night and day. This tablet I can use without my hand cramping after an hour of use. It has pressure sensitivity and even tilts controls! it has everything that an artist needs at an affordable price. Seriously consider this tablet when purchasing your first tablet, everything you need to make professional-looking art is in this tablet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Everything is great, cord not really

Reviewed in Australia on August 5, 2019

As the heading above says. It's really nice, does everything as expected but the cord is annoyingly uncooperative. Has a cycle of being recognised and then not by my laptop. I really think it has to do with how tightly wound together the cord is in the packaging that the wiring inside is slightly damaged or something.
Very frustrating.
But functional and great!
I think you just need a distance or so for the wiring to work efficiently.
