Review: Huion Inspiroy 2 pen tablet - Works great. Good price.

Update: Pressure with Affinity Photo can be fixed by turning off Windows Ink from within Affinity Photo settings.

[@eddyalvaross2195]

One test that I'd strongly recommend, is to test how stable pressure sensitivity is from the tablet driver. It will allow you to see if the pressure is stable with constant force or not. To do the test : try to apply constant force respectively at the 200th, 500th, 1000th, 4000th, and 7000th pressure levels from the driver.( maintain constant force for at least 3 to 5 seconds per level, if the signal indicators jitters too much, then pressure sensitivity is instable ). So far, all pentech 3.0 and pentech 3.0+ tablets suffer from this problem.

[@alexdefoc6919]

how's is it?

[@merrillben]

Curious if you’ve tried Concepts’ new tablet support (keyboard shortcuts)?

[@Ach476]

When you have Windows Ink turned on, your browser treats your pen tablet as a "touch" device so the reason your scrolling was reversed was probably because you weren't dragging the scroll bar but instead dragging the page itself.

[@chams7163]

I could not get my Wacom Intuos small to work with my 32 bit Acer notebook so I've ordered one of these and bonus it's large for about the same price. I'm supposed to be receiving it in the mail today so hopefully it sets up well and works fine in clip studio paint/fire alpaca. If wacom would allow their tablets to work in 32 bit I'd have just used my intuos but I ended up with an inspiroy pro V2 which is okay but i read in reviews that the new inspiroy 2 is much better.

[@FosterYourAffinity]

Hello! I love your thorough and sincere tutorials! I’m very interested in buying this tablet, and I would like to ask you about something very specific. Currently I use and XP-Pen Deco Pro M. I love the way the tablet functions, but I’m growing weary of the wobbly pen nib and its large retraction distance. Could you provide a little detail about the pen nibs with this tablet? Is the nib firmly affixed and without wobble? How about the nib retraction distance? Is it improved at all by the 3.0 pen tech? This tablet looks really simple and attractive to me, and the only thing really holding me back is the concern that the nib problem may be just as bothersome with this tablet. Any info you could give on this would be really great! Thank you for the great review!

[@teohontech7141]

Pen nib is quite firm. See 04:28

[@FosterYourAffinity]

Thank you! It’s weird I can’t believe I missed you budging the nib like that. It looks pretty firm. Thank you!

Hi, i am new to graphics tablets, i don't know which one to choose between this and hs611p, any advice please

Is the texture if the tablet feel like paper or is it pretty slick. i have a 610 pro v2 already but its pretty slick.

I wish you had spoken about the sensitivity height. Mine was like 7mm or below. Cant draw properly

[@SethFPV]

Thank you very much for your great review like all I have a question? I hesitate greatly with the Inspiroy Dial 2 also my work is essentially advanced retouching on photoshop and a little drawing, is there a difference in quality in terms of feeling and speed, latency of the pen between the 2 models inpiroy 2 M vs the Inspiroy Dial 2? Thanks in advance for your reply

[@teohontech7141]

They kinda have rather similar performance so you can just choose base on design or your budget.

[@SethFPV]

@@teohontech7141 Thank you very much for your super fast response!!! it will be the inspiroy 2 M So :) Keep up your videos they are great 👊

[@eddyalvaross2195]

After testing myself, I feel like the IAF is higher than that of the pen's predecessor, the PW100 pen. The pressure on the PW110 pen is also harder to control, is less stable per applied strength. THe pressure goes up down way too much when you try to maintain your strength/pressure level. Yes that's a little but serious regression from Huion.

[@bricewillous503]

I was a wacom user and I decided to give a try. I got the S model. First impressions were good... But I quickly changed my mind. The Huion's drivers manager software is full of bugs and missing features : -unable to fully customize pen, buttons ok, but nib only proposes "valid" or "invalid" which is frustrating if you want to set it to left or right button for specific applications -working area is often resetted, especially when you enter and exit precision mode for example, then you have to set it again each time which is annoying... -BIG ISSUE with administrators privileges, especially when there is a popup for allowing a program to do modifications ; the tablet stop working, you have to use your keyboard. There is a solution provided but it's clearly not recommended in terms of security because it consists in disabling administrator's popup warning. Tried to uninstall then reinstall with administrator rights, but the issue remains. Checking if wacom drivers has been uninstalled properly, and they were (apparently Huion's drivers don't like wacom drivers lol). Activating Windows ink helped a little bit but not totally, cause Windows ink is a nightmare causing much more unwanted issue when activated. The "scheduled task" trick was also unsuccessful. -The tablet randomly freezes, so I have to plug out then in. After struggling with it and done some research on the web, I've found I was not the only one in this situation. That was enough for me... Sent this tablet back and get refund... Hope Huion will really take software issues in consideration seriously because the hardware seems to be good ! What a pitty !

[@dark-jowin]

So not recommended?

[@bricewillous503]

@@dark-jowin If you are demanding and/or if you need very specific features (like me), I will recommend to stay with Wacom. Else, you can give a try with Huion, their hardware seems to be quality made. The big problem is with the drivers which are not so good... I hope Huion will fix that. It is the only missing thing for them to conquer all Wacom's users...

[@djunn]

Im have very old intuos. not used because its huge size. Im have huion inspirion and yes, its have annoying driver problems but most of time can handle it. What im dont like its a little wobble of pen tip on huion. When I touch the tablet with the stylus, the cursor jumps slightly to the side because of the slight wiggle of the stylus tip and small precise work like selecting a word in the text becomes awkward. I have an apple pencil 2 and it has a monolithic tip that doesn't wobble at all, but I don't need the fine work of the pen on my ipad. On the latest vacom is the pen similar to the huion in that sense of tip wobbling or similar to the apple pencil 2?

[@bricewillous503]

@@djunn indeed, I forgot to mention this wobbling effect on huion. It happens almost on the bound limit of the tablet When you get out of the sensor with the pen. That was enough for me. I just get the new small Wacom intuos black. And no more problem, no wobbling, no freeze, no bugs, full customization of the pen, 100% stable...

[@oddpenguin8996]

how does the inspiroy 2 large feel compared to the inspiroy giano? I'm looking to replace my current drawing tablet and I'm between those 2 to use alongside my kamvas 22 plus (when I don't feel like killing my back)

[@teohontech7141]

Giano is 13.6 by 8.5 inches. Inspiroy 2 L is 10.5 x 6.56 inches. So the Giano is HUGE by comparison. Giano is good when paired with a huge display, 27 inches and above. Otherwise, just go with 10 x 6 inches. Giano is also much more expensive

[@oddpenguin8996]

Thank you!

[@PatriciaHaddad]

Hi! I am considering buying an Inspiroy 2 S. It will be my very first pen tablet. Is it true that this model doesn't have tilt support? Does it really make a difference? I am not a professional designer, I design party favors and decoration.

[@Chick0714]

Same question.

[@mariojanik5152]

As a beginner i have been considering between the inspiroy giano and the inspiroy 2 L i have a 27" screen and I am ok with the price of both products...is the giano overkill for a beginner? What would be your recommendation?

[@teohontech7141]

Giano is really big. Inspiroy 2 L is big enough

[@ZephrusPrime]

I use a Wacom Large on a 27". I will never go back to a smaller size tablet. Having less acceleration allows you for cleaner strokes and you will use your arm more instead of your wrist. If I didn't have my Wacom, my choice would be the Giano.

[@djunn]

Its too much subjective so nobody can advice you. Im have very old wacom intuos a4 almost at all, its my worst buing cause its huge and it uncomfortable to use. i thought i'd get used to it and i didn't. in 10 years i've used it maybe 20 hours total, maybe less. Now I've had the huion inspiroy q620m for a year and a half and I've already used it more than the wacom 10 years before because it just fits on the table in front of the keyboard and is always there. I don't need the tablet for painting, it's mostly retouching, quick redraving over photo and something like. I use this size with a huge 38" screen - the tablet is in mouse mode, i.e. relative positioning and 10.5x6.5 inch working area - quite sufficient. The huion's biggest problem for me is physical - the slight wobble of the pen tip, which makes fine precision work like text selection impossible. It doesn't interfere with retouching, it only interferes when I try to replace the mouse. The big problem is the driver. It has caused a lot of problems in a year. Solvable, but annoying. Last several month no problem, maybe huion improve it at last. in past, the most common problem is that software starts to glitch, e.g. Cinema4d crashes just on startup (many other programs too, e.g. many games) - it turns out that the driver has started to glitch. If you unload the driver, the game will start. Reinstalling the driver helped for cinema4d. Its also windows ink problem described in video but its not huion problem, its terrible Microsoft. If ink on - windows think you have touch screen so precisous works mpossible (something like Curve editing work terrible) but if you swithc of ink pressure not work. There is a hack for PS make its work little better, im dont remember exactly solution - just googgle it if need.

Texture is kinda similar to Wacom, but smoother than paper. Anyway, replacement nibs are quite affordable

[@randydapurpleboy]

DISCLAIMER FOR LEFT-HANDED: If you want to use the tablet in phone-mode, youre out of luck, there is no way to flip the tablet for left-handed since there is no App that allows you to switch from right to left handed use! you either learn to draw with your right hand or you just wasted a good amount of money on a tablet who lacks the simple feature of switching right handed to left handed. I had to refund the tablet, not a single review mentions that this tablet's phone mode works for right handed usage only! i know its a small additional feature but it still baffles me that HUION just doesnt care about left-handed artists when they wanna use the tablet with their phone or galaxy tab etc. i returned the tablet because i wanted to draw on the go on my phone, since im left handed this tablet is useless for me. (of course in the windows/mac you have huion driver settings where you can switch right and left handed however you desire!) this tablet was made for right handed people which irritates me a lot. (the group keys are basically upside down when you use the tablet as a left handed artist)

[@teohontech7141]

I no longer have this tablet so I may not remember correctly. When used with a phone, the tablet will be vertical so does left/right hand matter? Also the hotkeys do not work when used with a phone

[@randydapurpleboy]

@@teohontech7141 here is the thing: the buttons did work when i pressed the group keys they act like the back and home button for me also the tablets orientation for me was horizontal like normal, in phone mode you just use like 30% of the drawing surface of the tablet, not vertical
