I absolutely love this tablet! I decided to purchase it not for drawing but for journaling and note-taking on my laptop.I am pretty technologically illiterate and was very intimidated by a new device, new computer programs, and setting the buttons, but this thing is insanely easy to use. It took less than 3 minutes to install the driver and the device connected right away to two separate computers (newer Windows 10 desktop and 2012 MacBook Air). I was confused by setting the hotkeys at first but once I understood what I could use them for they are insanely easy to set up and change whenever you want. I’ve decided on settings for most of them, but I continually change one of the two pen buttons for whatever I’m working on at the time—so when I’m studying, I make it select the highlighter, and when I’m designing or writing I might change it to the selection or pen tools. I cannot stress enough how bad I am with technology and how easy it was for me to figure all this out on my own!I also love the size of this tablet. It’s incredibly lightweight and easy to handle, but it feels sturdy and well-built. There is plenty of room to write or draw anything I need and I find it very easy to hold and work with. Even without getting it on sale like I did, this tablet gives you way more space and buttons for way cheaper than others I looked at. I haven’t ever tried any other kind of tablet to compare them, but this certainly doesn’t seem cheap to me at all and I think it’s super fairly priced for the value compared to other options I researched. The pressure sensors in the pen seem to work very well too, but I’m no artist so I don’t want to give a full critique of that feature.I only have two complaints and one of them is not Gaomon’s fault. What I don’t love about the tablet itself is the scroll circle; it’s definitely adequate, but it’s a little clunky. It’s not as smooth as zooming or scrolling on the computer but it does work, especially for a casual user. An artist who needs more control might have more trouble with it. I also cannot figure out how to scroll horizontally (mostly when zoomed in which is necessary to write/draw clearly).My only other issue is that I specifically purchased this tablet to work with GoodNotes 5 on my Mac, and it isn’t as seamless as it could be. GN5 completely acknowledges on their website that they do not have full support for these kinds of tablets and I read that before purchasing. That being said, it definitely works well enough for a casual user like me, and it works way faster in other programs designed for its use like Sketchbook. It just lags a little bit, a little more often than I might like, but only in GoodNotes, and it’s not a dealbreaker.

TL;DR: Works on Linux with just plug and play, fully configurable with OpenTabletDriver, pen feels nice, works without issues in osu!, amazing tablet for the price.Full review:Worked straight out of the box on Arch Linux. It was setup as full tablet area to full screen area across all monitors by default.Installed OpenTabletDriver and blacklisted the "hid_uclogic" Kernel module as the setup instructions said, and it picked up the tablet just fine. Remapping the tablet area, pen buttons, and tablet buttons all works with OpenTabletDriver.Have not tested at all on Windows, so I cannot speak for the default software.Tablet is very responsive, and it is nice that the pen does not need batteries. First tablet I have used, so I can't really compare it to any others.The pen feels nice, I like that it is larger than a pencil, but is not too big at all. It feels like the perfect size for my hand. I re-mapped the bottom of the rocker button on the pen to Middle-click, and the top to Right-click. Just personal preference, but since I use Middle-click more it felt better that way.Comes with several extra pen tips, and a tool to remove the tip. I probably won't need another tip for a long time, as I hover the pen more than I drag it around. There are no scratches in the tablet surface after the (albeit fairly short) time I have used it.Works without any issues in native Linux osu!lazer as well as stable osu! running in Wine. You may have to toggle the Raw Input and Map Input to Window settings in osu!stable though. I have the bottom pen rocker button set to Pause in osu!, and it is very easy to press with my grip, but I barely ever hit it accidentally. The osu!lazer settings allow you to configure the tablet area just for the game, while osu!stable will use whatever you have setup in OpenTabletDriver. I play with the hover style, not drag, with the tablet area at 25% in the upper-left corner. It tracks the pen perfectly, even when about half an inch from the surface. I cannot feel any latency whatsoever, and can hit jumps way better with this than with a mouse.Buttons are a tad stiff, but totally usable. I have one configured to Escape, and another to cycle through the tablet and screen areas. Not sure if this can be setup in Windows with the default software, but it works in OpenTabletDriver.Cable uses Micro USB, would prefer Type-C, but this is a slightly older product, so it's fine. Rubber feet keep the tablet from sliding pretty well as long as they are kept clean.Totally a steal for $30. Would definitely buy again.

Given the extremely low cost of the tablet over the consistently updated software and the large range of functionality, this tablet is one of the most cost effective products, especially for budding digital artists. With 10 customizable key binds, and 3 customizable modes for the scroll wheel, the tablet has access to a lot of versatility. the kit that the tablet comes with is also entirely worthwhile, with extra nibs and bags, and a small case for the pen as well. general complaints regarding the tablet are in regards primarily to convenience and form, rather than functionality. -The USB micro C port included only allows for the 90 degree cable to face one direction, restricting rotation and positioning of the tablet, USB micro C is also falling more and more out of use with the rise of USB C, being bi-directional. -the materials that are used in the production of the tablet are, given the price, relatively good, but lacking in some departments, with the buttons being cheap and wiggly. Overall this tablet is not just usable, but versatile, convenient, and well worth the low cost that comes with it, especially given how long it has lasted, being just over 3 years (maybe 2 I forget), with little to no degradation (with proper care). The only improvements that could be implemented would likely increase the cost of the tablet, and are primarily for quality of life, through things like tablet stands and a pen holder that isn't made of ribbon.
