Let me first start off by saying how impressed I was by the packaging. The box is very sturdy (the lid has padding to protect the tablet) and everything was packed neatly inside. When you first open the box, the VK1200 is the first thing you see and I have to say that I'm loving the minimalistic design. Super sleek! Once you lift the tablet, there is a paper and underneath that lies all the other accessories.
Just like the listing says, this product comes with: the VK1200 tablet display, hdmi cable, usb cable, replacement pen nibs, pen holder, nib remover, artist glove, cleaning cloth, 2 pen pockets, and 2 pens.
For someone who had been contemplating getting an ipad pro because I've been wanting a display tablet to draw on. I think the VK1200 is an excellent alternative because of the price, even if it is not a standalone product and needs to be plugged into a computer, but also because of the size. Personally, I haven't been outside due to Covid restrictions (besides for essentials) so the VK1200 is perfect for me since I simply keep it on my desk and draw when I need to.
Set up was a bit confusing at first (after the initial installation), but I think that was mostly because I am using a dual monitor set up and so the VK1200 is my third monitor and it messed up my settings a bit. With a bit of tweaking in the VEIKK tablet settings, however, I was able to map my VK1200 so that it is an extended monitor rather than mirroring one of my other monitors.
One issue I did run into was after I set that up, the pen calibration wasn't functioning correctly (on Windows 10). To fix the issue I had I needed to uninstall my old driver and then install the newer driver on the VEIKK website.
This is the first time I've had a display tablet so I'm still getting used to it, but so far I love it. It is so convenient to be able to see what I'm drawing directly instead of starting at a second screen. It gives me the sense of drawing traditionally since I can see my art coming to life right underneath the pen in my hand instead of just under a cursor on my screen. Another thing I've noticed is that the tablet itself seems to have a slight texture to it and that was a pleasant surprise because I fully expected there to be super smooth glass (which I don't really like). This was great since I'm used to my tablets having a slight texture to mimic a 'paper' feel.
The tablet also comes with six keys which can be customized to any shortcut you want (I changed mine to undo and redo. Haha as an artist you'll always need that ctrl+z!). You'll just have to go under the VEIKK tablet settings to change them.
Would I recommend this to others who have been looking for a display tablet? Definitely.
