So, a little background. My original tablet, a Huion HS64, was a hand-me-down from my son. At christmas we upgraded him to the Huion Kamvas Pro 16 2.4k. At work I started using it, it was ok, but usability did not seem as intuitive as his new Kamvas. So i went online… did some searching. Reviews were good on this Inspiroy 2s, price point was good. We had been happy with the product and customer service we had recieved with the orginal HS64 purchase. So i ordered it. By no means am I a pro user. I use BluBeam and Adobe Acrobat PDF creators, I play around with Adobe illustrator, Adobe InDesign, and i have tried Krita a few times.
The scroll wheel, why do they make these things without them?!? its great! Before, trying to use the stylus to zoom in and out was tedious at best! The additional two buttom program capacity is nice to have, as well as the spoft touch rubber buttons vs the hard plastic from the HS64. Maybe its just me, but it seems that the stylus tracking on the pad seems more acurate with the Inspiroy vs the hs64. I also did not have to modify the screen area, it was just plug and play. Very easy to use! I guess its possible the program may have cheated as the Huion software was previously installed, but either way it was appreciated.
As you can see in the photo, the difference in size of the Inspiroy 2 at the bottom, the HS64 in the middle, and The Kamvas at the top. The buttons are better located on the side rather than the top, so as a lefty, its easy to use my pinky to access the shortcut keys or the scroll wheel. Its the simple things that make a good product that much better! The gradient stylus works well. However, I found trying to get the lighter gradients a little hard but is quite good otherwise. Feels nice in the hand. Also works good as a mouse! I have a touch screen monitor at work, it did not work on there, oh well. Learned from my son that there are extra stylus tips in the base.
So i guess pros:
-Price point and richer? feel
-Scroll wheel
-ease of setup
-more intuitive pad to screen stylus tracking
Cons:
-Lower gradient sensitivity might need some tweaking
Overall, it is a great upgrade to an older product you may have. Works well with a variety of programs and is very user friendly to use and setup.
