The tablet functions perfectly along with the drivers. Had it for a month and have not encountered any issues whatsoever. Excellent for a beginner just starting out with digital art. If you are not an artist then that is fine as well as this tablet is great for taking notes or simply using it like another mouse. Pen pressure is superb and allows for dynamic handwriting or brush strokes. Have not encountered any lag as it has always been responsive and feels natural to use. Just like using traditional pencil and paper.
Setting up the tablet to your pc is pretty much plug-n-play. Download the drivers for the tablet as this is the software you will need to customize on how you will use the tablet (e.g. assign a pen button to a hotkey such as ctrl+z (undo)). Not difficult to do at all and might take you 5 minutes or less to setup.
Although there are other cheap graphics tablets, I bought this one because I’m a beginner and everyone I’ve talked to has had their Wacom for many many years and they still work!!! I like that I can get a quality drawing tablet at a good price (without having to buy some cheap Chinese crap that’s going to sit in a landfill after a year because it stopped working) I also like that there aren’t batteries that I have to replace.
I use it on both a Macbook Pro and a Windows PC. The Windows PC didn’t require drivers, but I suggest installing them anyway, so you can customize the pen buttons.
As a someone just getting into digital art, I’m very pleased. It’s not as full-featured as some of the other Wacom tablets, but it’s certainly a great starter tablet. And for Wacom quality, you can’t beat the price.
Pros:
- a reliable and inexpensive tablet
- Pen doesn't require a battery or need charging time
- 2 shortcut keys on pen
- straightforward installation of drivers
- Wacom quality
- Small size is very portable
Cons:
- no shortcut keys on the tablet (only on the pen)
- not wireless
- no touch surface

The Medium size is a bit too expensive for a beginner to invest in IMO but the Small size is extremely high quality for its size, and not too bad of an investment if you want to try getting into digital art. The Tablet also works good for Osu! once you mess with the settings a bit. The lack of hotkeys is what majorly holds this tablet down but considering its quality and low price, it's fine. As a Beginner myself, the lack of hotkeys never bothered me.
I know Wacom stuff works great on linux, and this model does not disappoint. I just plugged it into my Ubuntu 20.04 and it just started working perfect with my application of choice Krita. No drivers or extra drivers needed.
If someone is reading this and they ever decide to "upgrade" to one of those fancy pen displays later, don't throw or give this one away. You know the tablets I am talking about. The ones where you can draw right on the screen. I had one for a short while and it didn't work out, so I went back to graphics tablets like this. For me, there are a few reasons that you might not like these "pro" level tablet displays that cost more money:
1. The screen gets warm and your hands start sweating on it. And when your hands sweat, your pen nib stops registering on the screen as it slips around on your sweat. It is annoying having to wipe down your screen every hour or two because it is full of sweat. It is kind of gross too.
2. Bad posture. You have to look down and hunch over to use it to see the screen below. That might be ok for a bit, but having a crooked neck and back for hours on end really gets old and painful. There is a bit of a remedy for this with adjustable monitor stands so you can reposition it, but I didn't want to bother with more accessories.
3. Extremely unportable. Display monitors are large and have a lot of cables. With something like this graphics tablet, it is easy to throw in your backback and take it to a game jam, or do some drawing at a coffee shop.
4. Your arm is in front of your artwork. If you are right handed, that means your right hand and forearm are going to be blocking half of your artwork all the time. While this might not seem like that big of a deal, it is a bit nicer to see the right side of your art as well as the left side.
A lot of people like them, though, so treat this as just one person's opinion.
