First of all, I've been looking at tablets for several months now, but I just couldn't convince myself to get past the price tag of company's like Huion or Monoprice, much less Cintiq.
I had purchased an off brand tablet before, but had so many problems with the driver I ended up returning it.
Last month I was surprised to see this new Artisul tablet and so I visited their website. I also looked up some reviews and felt it would be safe to take a chance - thankfully I've loved every minute so far!
Tablet arrived early, tablet and driver were easy to set up (had to uninstall my normal Wacom tablet of course but it was MUCH less of a hassle to do than the last display tablet I bought).
I recommend switching the pc display to the tablet only, it made calibrating a lot easier for me personally, but I'm also working from a laptop so it may work differently for others.
I'm not crazy about the two wires leaving the tablet, but it's by no means a deal breaker. When drawing you forget about them. Hot keys work great, and I love that you can assign them to different buttons!
Tablet fits comfortably in my lap and is much more portable than the other tablets I have bought/researched.
If you want to use this at a desk, you'll probably want to buy a stand for it, but this wasn't a problem for me because I'm not using a desk space.
I always look for other people's art on tablet reviews so I attached pictures of mine.
Also added a photo of the tablet and a mouse to help see the size comparison.
One last thing, I have averageish/small hands, so I assume if your hands are bigger you'd want the 13in tablet, simply so that reaching the hot keys feels more comfortable.
If you're on the fence about buying a display tablet like I was all these months, then I highly recommend this, especially as a first tablet!![Artisul d13 drive Artisul d13 drive](/uploads/1/2/5/6/125697632/763102009.jpg)

My artisul pen calibration won't work?
I don't know where to post this, but it has to do with a stylus i guess. I have this Artisul D10 I've had it for a few months and I never had problems calibrating it until my boyfriend was messing with it trying to fix the pressure sensitivity (it works but not on Sai and I can't afford Photoshop and I don't know other drawing programs anyway) nothing was working so i redownloaded all the thikngs and its working but when you open the artisul control panel and try to calibrate the pen, there are no settings for it. Normal light and heavy options are there but the left handed and right handed options are just gone and can't actually calibrate where to click and such, this would be fine if I was right handed, but I'm left handed so the cursor is a little bit to the left and I can't draw. Does anyone know why the right hand and left hand options are gone? I think I downloaded a newer version and does it just not have it? I'm not good with computers or anything so I've been trying to Google this for 2 hours?
