HUION WH1409 Wireless Graphic Drawing Tablet 8192 Pen Pressure Pen Tablet with 12 Press Keys

I could not be any happier with this graphics tablet and I am not normally a person to post product reviews. I've been a hobby artist my whole life, for the majority of my youth I wanted to be a comic book artist then a graphic designer, but I changed career paths in high school. I started drawing again a few years ago, though, and really fell back in love. One thing I have always been intentional about with my art, though, is to use high quality materials. All of my drawing in recent years has been on high quality mixed media paper, using sakura pens and copic markers. I took graphic design in high school a long time ago, back when tablets were thousands of dollars and you could only purchase photoshop with hundreds upon hundreds of dollars....I never even though of a drawing tablet as a reasonable option, but when I did a little research I saw that the world has changed a lot since I was in high school in 2006 and that drawing tablets can be affordable and that you can have photoshop for 10 bux a month like netflix or something! That absolutely blew my mind, so I got a subscription to photoshop and then began doing research on tablets....I obviously considered Wacom....but the more I thought about my uses and how much I wanted to spend on it, the Huion Inspiroy Q11K seemed like a great choice and initially I was assuming it would be mediocre quality that I would just have to get used to....After the first few hours of use, I can not overstate how much this tablet has changed my life. it is probably the most important purchase I have made in years, for improving quality of life....this tablet has afforded me the capacity to pursue my art in a way I was never able to and I am stunned by how well it operates every single day. My art has improved, my confidence has improved, the amount of risks I am willing to take iwth my art has increased, and I can say as someone that even though I am not a professional, I do have high standards I think...and this tablet absolutely matches those standards. I love the quick access keys, the connectivity is fantastic with minor glitches that don't make me think any less of the product, and the best part is the workspace size - it is HUGE. I feel utter freeodm when using this tablet, knowing I have more than enough space to do what I want. Also, I have never experienced any charge loss or anything....I probably only charge both the tablet and pen once a week and it typically takes me about 15 hours to finish a single piece. I probably do a piece of art once a week. If you are in the market for a tablet that can help you produce high quality work without an exorbitant and unnecessary price-point, you will NOT be disappointed by purchasing this. I'm attaching all of the art I've worked on in the past month since purchasing so you can see what I've done with the tablet.

I switched to Huion as an alternative option because I wasn't really pleased with the newest Wacom Intuos Pro series. Was a little nervous at first since I have always used Wacom for like more than 10 years, but the experience with the Q11K was quiteee good so far :) Pros: + HUGE drawing area. Total new experience compared to working with smaller area. + Stylus: the pen needs charging, but one charge of an hour-ish would last around a week, and I'm quite an extensive user LOL + Surface: SMOOTH! So I know there're people prefer paper-like surface, but I like to press the pen slightly to make quick light strokes, so the smoother the more comfortable to me, anyone feels the same? And undeniably NIB-SAVER! + Design: slick design + Compatible with: Photoshop, Illustrator, ... for some reasons I couldn't get it to work with Paint Tool Sai (sigh) (heard that there's a way to work around though) + Price: GOOD deal. Only 1/3 of Wacom's Intuos Pro medium but the stats were comparable. Cons: + My Wifi receiver has some issue, so far the customer service team has been very responsive and helpful + The 4 rubber-like pieces at the back that supposed to keep the tablet non-sliding came off not long after, probably because I have been carrying the tablet around + Pen needs charging, and you have one pen, but it charges fast. If you are looking for an affordable good alternative for Wacom tablet I'd recommend this one. I don't know how long it shall last (I've got my first one for around a year with some minor technical issues). But so far it does its job. I actually enjoy the smooth surface than the rougher ones, and the smooth yet slightly grainy feeling I got on this tablet was just perfect. I'm pretty picky when it comes to tablet's quality and the feeling of the pen when drawing, because I'll draw for hours, :p and I like Huion's pen so far! I hope Huion improve the design and its driver a bit more though. BTW, i'm PC user, haven't tried it on MacOS. But yeah, this one is a good alternative if you both want a +8000-level-sensitivity and a medium-size drawing tablet.

I'm a 3d Character Artist who works mostly in Zbrush and other 3D applications. I have always used Wacom products for my work and all throughout school. With the last new generation from Wacom I have felt that their quality issues and prices have just not meet the expectations. I wanted to see how this Huion would stack up compared to my Wacom Intuos Pro medium. Many of the reviews out there are mostly coming from Illustrators and hobbyist and do not show how 3D use will perform. The new Huion with a large work area and an 8K pen are features that I was very interested in. From the start, the shopping experience was smooth and hassle free. It arrived on time and is packaged very nicely. The fit and finish is very good and feels spot on. In comparison to my Wacom, the tablet has 8 hot keys and is only missing the dial. I use the keyboard, so for me this is a non-issue. The pen is where it becomes a personal taste. It doesn't feel too cheap but for me falls short for some key features to the Wacom. The flute of the Huion pen is not a wide as the Wacom's and it lacks the rubberized grip. Those two features are actually quite important to me. My fingers feel more relaxed and stable with the Wacom design. The Huion pen lacks the eraser but I honestly don't know anyone who really uses that feature instead of the keyboard. This time around the Huion wins points with the pen buttons being fully programmable for all shortcuts and hotkeys.The drivers installed easy and all hot keys are fully programmable as well. The active area is nice and is a good fit for in between a medium and a large tablet. I use a 27" monitor so I like less acceleration and prefer a larger tablet. The Huion worked very well inside of ZBrush. The strokes were very smooth and I did notice the pen pressure levels. With Huion's 8K pen it seemed to give lighter strokes as well as much heaver strokes compared to Wacom. I put these two in a head to head test. What I found was that the Huion was very good and only had a tiny difference in performance. Oddly the Wacom felt just a little smoother and a little more direct in accuracy. This maybe due to Wacom's smaller work area and hence a bit more acceleration. I had my wife test it and she concurred that the Wacom felt a bit smoother. I will however give the credit to Huion as the new range of pressure levels may take a bit to getting use to. I also did test it out in other applications including Photoshop and the Huion performed great. There were no issues and I could not find anything wrong with it. In Photoshop I did notice that I could get a larger range of strokes light and heavy just like in Zbrush. I will say that if your new to getting into digital art this is the tablet I will recommend hands down. Compared to my Wacom this Huion is 250.00 USD cheaper and has everything one would need and want in a tablet. The Huion is by far the most cost effective drawing tablet and works great for 3D Artist. Times have changed and I see Wacom's grip on this market starting to wane as companies start to step up there game. So far I would defiantly recommend this for professional use but I will also need to see how it holds up over 80+ hours of use per week. I would have like to see that it come with a drawing glove, as I do use them with tablets and tablet monitors. The battery life for both the Huion pen and tablet is very good and the wireless work without issues. In the future I still would like to see a pen without the need to charge to go with this new progress. This new Huion tablet as it stands is as good as my current Intuos with the price being a total win for Huion.

I've been drawing digitally with tablets for about 5 years, and this is my second tablet. I ordered this just a couple of months ago, and I am very satisfied. If you want a big drawing area and want to get away from Wacom, this is the tablet for you. I had a Wacom One, which I'd have to say was a horrible tablet. I'd never had pen pressure, was constantly plugging it back in to gain connection, and only had like a few inches of active area (only less than half of the tablet was usable!). So when I pulled my Q11K out of the box, I almost cried when I realized I had pen pressure. It's amazing. Also, this tablet is wireless, and takes less than 5 minutes to install the driver. For my Wacom One, it took me all night because it kept on crashing. This took me about 2 minutes to install. So you get something to plug into your laptop/computer, and your tablet is wireless. But you do have to charge it either every 3 months or whenever the battery gets low. The pen is the same way. I went from a battery-free pen to a rechargeable pen, and the change is big! It has pen pressure, and so much may I add! The only downfall is that the battery doesn't last but maybe a week or two? Which is still good! But I have a roommate now who doesn't like me drawing, and it seems to die right when I'm in the middle of doing something, and it takes 1-2 hours to charge completely. Going off of the pen charging, don't try to use it while it's on low battery or charging. It will lag and not register your lines unless you scribble or press down really hard. So if your pen needs to charge, just save your work and come back when it's done. It will be worth it. This tablet is HUGE! And that's a very good thing for digital artists. This tablet is the size of my lap, and I'm a 5'6" guy. It's perfect for drawing. And the pen holder. It is weighted at the bottom, so you're fine leaving your pen in it. You can put the pen in horizontally or vertically, and it holds 8 nibs! You actually receive 9 nibs (I believe), and the holder unscrews to hold the other nibs. You also have hotkeys on your tablet, 8 of them. I don't use mine because I'm still wrapping my head around that idea (lol) but it's very useful if you like to work quickly or have twitchy hands like I do. Anyways, this is a great tablet for beginners and professionals and everyone in between. Because of my experiences with Wacom and Huion tablets, I would definitely choose Huion over Wacom anytime. If you have any questions, feel free to reply and I can try to answer.

After careful research on what tablet I wanted to replace my old wacom babmoo fun, I decided on the Huion Giano. It's large drawing area, the levels of pressure sensitivity, and it's low price point compared to the intuos line all contributed to my choice. I am very pleased with the product overall. Let's give it a quick breakdown: Appearance/Feel: The tablet is nice looking in person, there is a general matte finish on it (though much less pronounced on the drawing surface) so that it doesn't shine. It is nicely textured, and does not feel cheap or flimsy. When picking up and moving it does not creak, groan, or snap. It is solidly put together and sturdy, with a clean, professional appearance. The pen is of similar quality, though slightly more lightweight than expected for the size. It lacks a soft or rubberized grip found in some tablet pens, which I prefer because I have found those to become grimy and difficult to clean. Performance: Please keep in mind I'm coming from a 10+ year old bamboo fun. Tablet is very responsive and not hypersensitive-- one needn't have an exceedingly light touch for natural results as I've found with some other tablets. Pressure sensitivity is adjustable, if you find the default too light or heavy. Programmable keys are nice for mapping shortcuts, though I would prefer the method where you can simply type your combination as opposed to a drop-down select for keys and check boxes for options like shift/control/etc. I find that sometimes depressing at the edge of a key, even with an audible click does not activate the button, the key and feel slightly gummy if you are clicking it off to the side when this happens and it seems a fairly minor issue to me. Indicator lights works well and as outlined in the included manual, setup was very easy with the wireless USB included, simply popped it onto my macbook air and used the indicated installer on it. Misc: The microusb connector seems very solidly built to avoid rocking/damage to the port in the tablet, with a firm snap-in fit. Rubberized feet are flat and low profile to prevent accidental skidding on your workstation. Tablet is certainly lightweight for it's size but despite that not exactly comfortable to carry or move one-handed and not what I would consider portable at this size. Packaging was good and secure. I had not read well enough and initially thought the device was bluetooth but it is not, wireless connection is via a USB stick stored in a compartment on the backside of the tablet. This works very well, but you will need an open USB slot to use the tablet at all. Overall I really like the Huion Giano. I would not hesitate to suggest it to my friends, including those who are professional artists. At it's price point it easily is comparable to tablets in the 400-600 dollar range in terms of performance, while offering a large drawing area that commands a premium price in other brands. I think if you're in the market for a tablet at the present this is one of the best choices you can make as far as quality for your dollar. I'm very pleased with my purchase and I am happy that I gave this brand a try. I will certainly be choosing Huion for any future tablet purchases. If my opinion changes in the future this review will be updated to reflect that.

Here is an honest review of this tablet. I purchased this in February 2025, and now, in October 2025, after nine months of having this in my possession, I can honestly say this is the most disappointing tablet I've had so far. I really wanted to give Huion a chance, since my previous tablets were a "Small Wacom Intuos" and "XPPen Artist 22e Pro", and both had extreme durability! My Wacom of.. I want to say 4-5 years old; it would work perfectly without its drivers with pen pressure and everything! My XPPen, after 5 years, had trouble with pen connectivity, which is why I thought it would be nice to try out a medium-sized Huion tablet. Out of the box, everything is super neat and well placed. It wasn't damaged and was packaged quite nicely. I started to have problems on the same day with connectivity. If you want to go on a scavenger hunt, trying to figure out how to connect this thing, you're more than welcome. But for someone who wants to just set up their tablet and get straight to drawing, this tablet isn't for you. The up-to-date drivers are awful and will not connect, no matter what you do. You have to go into an older driver for it to slightly work. I had this problem with my XPPen around the 3rd year of having it, but on the first day of my Huion? Not impressed. Even with various old drivers, this tablet will disconnect whenever it wants to. I'll be drawing, and suddenly, it will stop working. I have to unplug the cable, turn off the tablet, and restart my computer if it still doesn't work. The tablet should work when running your pc when it's waking up, and it sometimes does, but other times it does not. It can get frustrating when I'm drawing for about 20 minutes to an hour, and my pen will disconnect when I'm in my zone. One thing I will say, if you place a ticket for help at Huion, they will take forever to get back to you. My first day, I had to reach out to Huion for help on the connectivity issues (I read a lot of Reddit posts that dealt with similar issues, but no one had been able to resolve them), and after a few weeks later they reached out to me to replace my tablet. I had declined because I thought I would have hope for it if I had figured out the solution, and I didn't want to throw this tablet away. When having troubles with my XPPEN, their customer service is actually quite good, and they have a chat box for questions, and you get immediate responses. Huion, you place a ticket and wait for a response. Because they are located in Asia, the time zones are off, and it can take a while for them to get back to you. Also, it was difficult trying to locate where to even place a ticket! For the pros, there are only a few. I do appreciate the 11x6.7 size. After my Artist 22e Pro, which was about 24 inches, this tablet is a good medium-sized tablet to store away when I'm not using it, and I can move freely without drawing outside of the screen because it's too small. It's actually the perfect size, and it comes with the essentials. The packaging is great, and I love the white and sleek look of it. And you only need one cable to set it up! It also has Bluetooth, but it has trouble connecting to it. In conclusion, I really don't recommend this tablet. I'm sure Huion has better options, but based on my previous tablet experiences, you can go for something way better. I'm actually retiring this tablet after 9 months and getting an XPPen Artist 16 Ultra Tablet. This tablet did its best with what it came, but it's being placed on a shelf for now :) I hope this helps anyone who is thinking of getting this tablet!

Great value for a pro level tablet (I am one), works great, no lags, battery option is nice. Great tablet, at the large size a Logitech MX Keys fits perfectly above it in width. Easily a no brainer if you don’t want to spend double for a Eacom made a few blocks away in Chine.

I love this tablet. Its pen feels great, touch and tilt sensitivity work great (although I see no difference between my old wacom's 4096 pressure levels and this tablet's 8192; at a certain point adding more just doesn't make a difference), and the size is awesome for a desk unit. I do want to emphasize that this thing is HUGE. It measures 18 by 10.5 by 0.5 inches, making it too large to really haul around. If you're looking for a portable tablet I would consider one of Huion's smaller models. The express keys work well and have a nice tactile feel. No complains there. Build quality is good. It does creak slightly when pressure is applied due to its size but this doesn't harm anything. Drivers installed without any issues and do not conflict with the wacom tablets I still have on my computer. One thing that I would recommend if you get this tablet is to turn off "enable windows ink" in pen settings in the driver. For a while windows ink would sometimes randomly turn the cursor into a little star that behaved differently, but turning off windows ink fixed this. A quick google search showed that this is a windows and not a Huion problem. Huion's support team is great. Mine arrived without the promised artist glove and they sent one over right away without any hassle. All in all I like this tablet loads better than my wacom intuos (CTL4100 BT). I much prefer the smooth texture of this tablet and the huge work area allows for precision that just wasn't possible with the wacom. This tablet also does not have the infamous wacom problem of eating nibs like crazy; I've been using this tablet for a couple weeks now (not just for art but also as my mouse) and the nib still looks brand new, and when it eventually wears out I've got 18 left. I'm pretty sure the nibs they included will be plenty to last the lifetime of the tablet. The only two (minor) annoyances about this tablet are that it creaks slightly when pressure is applied (solution: don't rest your wrist on it or just don't care about the creaking) and that it doesn't have bluetooth. I would prefer bluetooth to USB since my laptop's ports are already cluttered but this is a minor annoyance. Wireless functionality works great and is lag free, I just wish it didn't take up a port on my computer. Bottom line: I would recommend this tablet if you want a huge work area and don't need your tablet to be portable. It works great, drivers work smoothly, and build quality is good. Considering the features, size, quality, and price you really can't beat the value of this tablet.
