Suggestions for Tablets?
9 years ago
【Ｔｈｅ Ｂａｅｓ】
I'm looking into getting a new tablet. I still have to try my current Wacom on my mate's old computer once I get a monitor, but at the moment I just need to look for a new one just encase. It's a high probability that it won't work on his computer either.
I have a 4 ish year old Wacom Intuos 5 touch in medium (The model is now referred to something else like the Intuous pro or something.)
But basically I have had NOTHING but issues with it for the longest time. Basically since day one it hasn't worked right. It's gone through being replaced, I've talked to support countless times about it but I always just get told to get the right driver, linked a driver, then told that will fix it and they take off.
I've looked up the problem online but it always has one of like three problems.
1.) It flat out WONT sync. Literally will not sync. As in it won't. Not "oh wait! Try doing this with the cord or maybe a port is out." it's "I've done LITERALLY everything even getting it sent in and replaced and it still does it."
2.) It syncs but there's no pressure sensitivity whatsoever. I can fuck with all the settings but it won't ever use sensitivity.
3.) It syncs, it doesn't have pressure sensitivity, and it freaks THE FUCK out. It draws in nothing but straight lines, it tries color picking everything, it basically has seizures, it tries to select things or right click things for some reason. (This is the most common one)
I've done everything I've found online. Re-installing drivers, wiping the ENTIRE computer clean of EVERYTHiNG wacom and starting fresh, using the disc installer I had that came with it. Trying the new drivers, trying the old drivers, trying every model of driver, plugging and unplugging, trying different computers, making sure my ports are all correct, getting support to send me the right drivers, sending it in for replacement. Literally nothing works for it.
So here is what I'm looking for:
I need a reliable tablet, it needs to work on Windows 10, it needs to work with Paint Tool Sai.
I need a decent drawing/active surface. No less than 10 inches across width wise. I want it to have an eraser on the pen.
It needs to be pressure sensitive.
Bonus but not needed:
Ambidextrous, touch capable, on screen drawing, wireless capable, with it's own case/stand.
I'm looking to hopefully get more into things like animation, and I just can't unless I have the tablet. My work will become infinitely faster once I have a tablet that is reliable and working.
If anyone has suggestions or whatnot I'd like to hear them. Atm I'm looking at Huion, and Ugee, I'm just nervous because I've only owned Wacoms, but this last one has me worried that Wacom won't work for me anymore.
