Review: Huion Inspiroy KeyDial KD200

[@zacheimkreuz]

Huion has hired the right designers. This one is very tempting

[@Jacotomo2222]

Yeah, I want one so badly! Also, for a second I thought your comment was a pun, considering how this tablet is not very lefty friendly.

[@GabrielTobing]

This is actually a genius product by Huion! I always use my keyboard most of the time instead of my tablet's buttons, but now, just wow.

[@TropicalCyc]

Not really a genius product if its not left hand compatible

[@GabrielTobing]

@@TropicalCyc Just literally flip it in the manufacturing part and done.

[@TropicalCyc]

@@GabrielTobing we know that they wont do that, right? They never made a left handed version of the HS611, so why would they make one for this one?

[@idkwayta1722]

These mini keyboard/keypad have been here since forever

[@zaceriah8576]

1:55 "Because many *left handed* people feel *left* out lmao no pun intended 😆

[@Thefutureisweird2000]

The good thing about being left handed is you don’t need to let go of the mouse to draw (assuming you use a mouse with your right hand), get a mouse with 12 macros on the side.

[@zaceriah8576]

@@Thefutureisweird2000 Oh wait yeah thats really good :D

[@axserwz5022]

I never use my right hand for shortcuts, and I don't mind using shortcuts with my pen in my hand

[@BaBboonking]

Cool idea,a detachable and switchable keypad would help with the lefty and righty issue

[@KitBetts-Masters]

Really clever idea. I never use programmable keys because I just know where the shortcuts are on the keyboard. Very simple, but easy solution for laptops. I hope thet make a full lefty version soon!

[@pakuro64]

Yeah, something like a switch (even if it had a wire conecting both sides)

[@Narsty_Boy]

Or maybe lefties could learn to do it the "right" way...

[@TropicalCyc]

@@Narsty_Boy no

[@zaceriah8576]

I never got to thank you properly but thanks a bunch for all of your reviews, no channel has more detailed reviews. And even if people don't like long reviews, you provide a text reviews for each video, so thank you and YOU ARE AMAZING! Keep doing what you're doing!!

[@GurtTarctor]

I really like this concept from an ergonomic perspective, I find trying to fit keyboards and peripherals within a comfortable distance to each other tricky, having a keypad with just enough keys to cover the basics for image editing makes a lot of sense, as well as the minimal bezels. I often use a mouse in my left hand so that would work well here.

[@vincsenzo]

Wow! You are fast! :) I just saw the product a week ago somewhere, it is a nice concept.

[@teohyc]

Thanks. I actually planned on reviewing this much later BUT found out Huion had the presale ending Feb 19. Just wanted to get this video out earlier so that people can know exactly how the tablet performs.

[@newaccount6414]

Okay never thought of that having a keyboard attached on the tablet. That's actually neat.

[@JK-xz1lt]

This is a pretty cool drawing tablet. I fully understand the lefty issue, so hopefully they'll release just the keypad on its own. I may get this soon just because.

[@betsey96]

So glad you reviewed this! My friend shared it on Facebook not too long ago! I have a Huion Kamvas Pro but the screen ratio is different to my laptop screen and also have Wacom Draw and one thing I really would like a set of quick keys and this is quite nice even from an aesthetic point! Part of me is curious to get my hands on one of these 🤔

[@Timicii]

Finally, been waiting for your review of this product! Great video 💖

[@wakeupFFS2012]

Seems good but for me I think the surface area is too small. My drawing hand would be constantly pressing on the tablet's bottom edge. I hope they release a larger size.

[@月崖子]

Never have i wanted something so much and not know it until it has been presented to me.

[@dzibanart8521]

I work with XP-pen deco 3 , it comes with dial, and 6 customizable keys. And I can work without keyboard.I love it!. Bit this takes the concept the a whole new level.

[@pakuro64]

To use at home: Nah, I think I prefer a traditional setup. To carry around: Holy, this is cool af

[@mocchilla]

I wish the keyboard was also let us to customise its functions. Detachable keyboard with full customisation would be a dream.

[@sam_uuaa]

didnt know that was your post, i recently shared it too 🤣

[@Narsty_Boy]

As an amateur, I think this is the best value for a screenless drawing tablet. You have very valid criticism (especially the android orientation). But me, I'm a right handed windows user and i do plan on using my android to draw and paint with, but it's not the main goal. And the extra controls with the knob offer unmatched workflow for the price range. And maybe they will be able to fix the android orientation with software updates eventually.

[@doonishsan]

The tablet is a good concept, but if they make the keyboard detachable would be a great idea. Like, you could put it on the left or right side anytime

[@syzygy8060]

Loved your review. I think I will pick one up this week. Thank you.

[@AtomekKotalke]

I was looking forward to this review. Thanks for making a video on that tablet. Also poor left handed people, they deserve justice.

[@carolannefisher1516]

I’m a righty with very limited use of my left hand so would need a left handed version. Disappointed that once again an otherwise excellent company forgets about people w/ other abilities (being a lefty) and disabilities. Would be really cool if they would make a one handed complete keyboard- there are precious few options out there for one handed typers.

[@tiamatandall]

I don't know how people felt about that but I only realized that "left out" could be understood like that after you said that it coul be a pun. I love it!

[@mamamurphy3860]

Seems good for travel. Like drawing on the train. I already have a Wacom tablet but I might get this

[@sassytabasco]

I actually saw an ad for this and was curious about it, but yeah, left handed so.

[@schlimi07]

SOLUTION FOR CMD + OPTION KEY: There is this free software for macOS called Karabiner Elements for customising keys on external keyboards (among other things) without impacting the keys on your main keyboard. I recently tried it for changing keys on an external numeric pad and it works great! Just choose the desired external keyboard from the drop down menu under Karabiner-Elements Preferences > Simple Modifications > Target Device (instead of choosing "For all devices").

[@Kheme08]

This is what I need because my current tablet doesn't have buttons, I have to use my keyboard which is huge

[@carolynharper9585]

I love the idea of having these keys alongside the tablet with the use of the dial! Pretty unfortunate for left handed users, I do think this modification would work even better if it were detachable with some sort of connection ability on both sides 🙂

[@VinylSkillz]

Oooh I'm so excited for this!!!!

[@huskyfurrs9432]

I've been looking for this x3

[@Kumal94]

I was actually researching abouts those gaming "half-keyboards" to make a setup just like this. Maybe if it proves to be a real useful tablet design and people make enough fuss they'll make a left handed version!

[@skm6777]

Love this tablet. Been using it for a while. Wish that would make a pen display with the same keyboard.

[@FinessenceSL]

This is super cool I've never tried any products from Huion.

[@MissAnimequest]

doing the gods work here! thanks for the review!

[@benjaminlyons5261]

I never use the buttons on the side of my tablet. The keyboard just does it all for me without configuring. BUT if this ever came for lefties it would be an instant buy as it looks very ergonomic

[@nxsrx9611]

As a keyboard shortcut user, i find this pretty amazing to use with tablet. Ohh goshh

[@markoglazersout611]

I was thinking about a product like this!!! Stole my idea xD haha Perfect for FPS games

[@vincentlie5274]

it's already exist, search for: "one handed keyboard"

[@greyareaRK1]

Great review, interesting product. Thank you, Teoh! [Wish you hadn't said that bit about not needing to upgrade. ;-)] You can use Karabiner on the Mac to switch those keys.

[@teohyc]

The issue is whether that app can specifically target the CMD & Opt keys on the keypad vs the keyboard.

[@aloneplayz69]

You are so smart Teoh!!! It is so cool!

[@conned]

TQVM!! Great review!

[@themadatheist1976]

Neat, I like the rotary wheel. Shame android support is meh. I'm in the process to remap a 18+4 wireless number pad to use with a Bosto 16HD I'm planning on buying.

[@SilentTrip]

Interesting idea, although I will not be buying it I like this new design. Let's see if other companies will follow suit

[@SPAbyShorey]

Good review, thankyou. But i dont like the way the button (to change dial modes) is too far away from the dial. It should be closer or in centre of teh dial Also for unit this sizeHuion should have put THREE DIALS on it

[@justurweeb]

Thank you so much for this review ❤️

[@gustavosaliola]

Great Review! It's a pity that they not thought about the right order in Mac CMD and ALT keys, and/or make them an included spare Windows interchangeable set (And modifiable in software too). Maybe the next version.

[@skm6777]

In System Preference | Keyboard | Modifier Key… button Monterey), you can select the KD200 keyboard and change the CMD & OPT keys out. Suddenly, I have no complaints about this drawing tablet!

[@TheSnowwraith]

When I first saw the thumbnail I thought this was an accessory for iPad/tablet users, with the drawing space being a rubberised mat for resting the tablet whilst you worked.

[@kupeearts8765]

It's a really handy device, keeps the your desk more minimilized, too bad it's only for right handed people

[@Gigglepud]

This is an awesome idea though! Defs would make it less clunky than my current Bluetooth keyboard set up

[@GoldenRvr]

Joe spina I love this and in would be using this with my huion Kamvas 22 plus. Maybe I could win this. You're review of the kamvas 22 plus is what inspired me to buy it

[@marwinthedja5450]

They should have really made this a push-to-click dial to switch between the modes.

[@csmemarketing]

After seeing this feedback, Huion will make something for Left-handed people. Maybe a full set with detachable right and left sides. Huion is a company that actually listens to feedback and makes changes, no matter how small. I like that, and have seen that myself when I bought one of their tablets.

[@MohamedElHanoun]

What i was thinking off soo useful

NEED THIS FOR LEFT HAND!!!

laughed with the pun "feeling left out" it is true.

[@alzarac3d]

very cool concept, but I still prefer using a Nostromo keyboard or anything similar like Orbweaver ( due to the scroll wheel) to work with any pen tablet or even touch screens like cintiq.

[@kuroshiki6167]

definitely buying xD

[@processingbenefitsbt6306]

Wow very good video I love your video so much ❤️👍

[@learnartwithme3766]

What they should've done is made a separate tablet and keypad. They could've had a slot on either side of the tablet to connect either a left or right handed keypad. Probably wouldn't be that difficult, apart from the connector on the PCB would have to be very thin, so the form factor would be difficult.

[@macker33]

Would be very easy for huion to configure for left handed people, just include additional upside letters on all the keys and have a flip key.

[@klarityicon33]

Very nice review. Was wondering if the surface texture has any chances of wearing the nibs very fast. Had seen this mentioned as a problem in some other manufacturers. Thank you in advance 🙏🏽

[@teohyc]

Even if it's going to wear off fast, it should be a non issue as replacement nibs are cheap. And 8-10 free nibs are included in the box.

[@klarityicon33]

@@teohyc thank you ☺️, also in my case I'm planning to only use it only for photography retouching, so probably usage will be a lot lesser than a full time graphic artist.

[@galangglassesboy]

[@MrWonderbread1984]

I don’t understand why Huion doesn’t include multitouch

[@mxpepper]

i ordered KD200 because of this review, as they keyboard makes it perfect for me and i wanted a regular pen tablet with tilt since i am used to it from the ipad. the smooth tilt shown in this video convinced me. unfortunately i can't get the tilt to behave smoothly in clip studio paint or krita. the cursor tries to point itself either vertically or horizontally, and jitters wildly between the two as i move the pen at different angles. i've tried both the current driver and one from november last year. i wonder if anyone else has had this issue :(

[@oscardavid5569]

Hello. Thanks for your nice and detailed reviews. I would like to ask your personal opinion: which one you will pick between kd200 and hs611. I like both, the keyboard in one but the active area in the other. Thanks again

[@teohyc]

I personally prefer using a proper keyboard so I don't need a shortcut keys on a tablet.

[@GothicAngeles]

Maybe it's just me but i can see this working with a display tablet with no0shortcut keys. Perhaps combining it with the Huon Kamvas 22 plus?

[@beckyszemelyesen]

I think people have no imagination and didn't search for bluetooth keyboards. I use a cheap one when drawing, but people who comment that they would love to see a keyboard without the tablet etc, they just didn't search for it, it's cheaply available, some of them are specially for gamers.... :)

[@maricallo6143]

Can you program the dial to do rotate canvas, that's crucial for me? Thnx P.S. if you used the cable, you might get the proper mapping with the Android device.

[@teohyc]

Assigning rotation to the dial will require keyboard shortcuts. So your drawing software must have keyboard shortcuts for rotation, otherwise rotation cannot be assigned to the dial.
