The contents include:
Tablet features:
6.5” by 4” Work Area.
4 Shortcut keys
Everything else:
The S620 tablet itself
Battery-free AP32 pen (8192 levels pen pressure, aka pretty standard pen pressure but impressive for such a small tablet)
1x USB Type-C Adapter & 1x Micro USB Adapter
Drawing glove
Spare pen nibs (enough for the tablet’s whole lifetime, more nibs are available on their website but they provided plenty to start with)
Setting up this tablet took no more than 10 minutes, Gaomon’s site was really easy to navigate. If you have another tablet make sure you uninstall that driver before installing this one, the same goes for any tablet, only one can work at a time. Not that big of a deal, just a tip for beginner tablet users! After around an hour working with the tablet, I got an error message on my computer and the driver stopped working. I went back to Gaomon’s website and right there on the front page (it’s so big you can’t miss it) was a link to download their universal driver that would fix the issue right up. kudos to them. Driver issues are super common with all tablets, but I’ve never seen a company that openly acknowledges & tries to give you as much access as possible to fix them as Gaomon does. I didn’t have to dig for this fix AT ALL, and the tablet worked normally after taking the 2 seconds to download the new driver. Super rare for tablet companies, you usually have to dig.
There was only 1 cord for this tablet, which I was really pleased about. There’s no clutter! It’s definitely portable and quick. The glove fit me as well, which I wasn’t expecting since tablet companies tend to either send huge gloves or extremely tiny ones, but this one fit me perfectly! There’s also USB connectors in case you want to use the tablet on your phone; like I said, it’s made for portability and ease of use. The pen nibs supplied are enough to last the tablet lifetime, it’s overall a great deal.
As for the tablet performance itself, it works just as well as my $350 Wacom Intous (medium). Obviously, it’s a lot smaller than I’m used to, which took some adjusting, but that’s expected. I got the hang of it within the same hour and worked on it as I would any other tablet after that. It performed just as well drawing wise as my Wacom. The only con really was the pen. For the first hour or two I was really enjoying the pressure of it. After an hour or so I had to push a bit harder for it to connect & to get the pressure I wanted. Again, this took some adjusting too and wasn’t my favorite, I’m more used to pens that don’t have so much “buffer room” so that’s more of a personal preference. Once I was more used to it after another hour or two it wasn’t so bad. For such a small and well priced tablet though, it’s surprising that it works THIS well. You definitely get bang for your buck
I’ve never been one to use shortcut keys before, but I decided “why not” and set some up to use for this tablet, and wow I’ve been missing a lot! I like how these keys click a lot more than my Wacom’s do. Their sensitivity is really nice and the shortcut menu is right on the driver menu so it’s super easy to navigate and set up.
I highly recommend this tablet to beginner artists (I’m going to be giving this tablet to my younger sister, who’s just recently getting into digital art/animation), it’s cheap, easy to understand, and very portable. It does it’s job well, what more can I say?
In a time like this with the lot of us doing everything online, I’d also recommend this tablet to teachers (my own struggles to write equations with his mouse), it would really help with signing things online as well!
I’m actually astounded that I spent hundreds on a tablet I could have gotten for less than half the price for the same quality from Gaomon. Leading tablet companies aren’t always the way to go, Gaomon has much better protection plans as well! And I got a free tablet glove. Now, I wouldn’t suggest this particular tiny tablet for full time artists like myself, they have other sizes that I expect to hold up just as well for under $100. Hell, I could even get a screen tablet for cheaper than I got my Wacom desk tablet for. Had I known about Gaomon when I was first looking for a tablet, I surely would have saved a lot of time, money, and clutter buying from them.
