Drawing tablets also have pen pressure and tilt detection to simulate a real paintbrush. They also need thicker screens to handle constant pen strokes whereas a regular tablet is mostly used by fingers.
Wacom and Huion are pretty much the only 2 manufacturers in this niche market. Huion's equivalents for Wacom tablets are usually much cheaper but their drivers are noticeably worse in my experience.
- erjiang 6y agoI think most if not all of the non-Wacom brands use UC-Logic digitizers. XP-Pen and GAOMON tablets should be pretty similar in price and capabilities to Huion-brand tablets. I agree that drivers are definitely a big differentiator. Most of the non-Wacom tablets have OK support on Linux thanks to the DIGImend project but it may be a pain to customize things like frame buttons. Win/Mac you are stuck with whatever driver the manufacturer last made for your specific model.
