does krita work with the tablet or are there problems or issues

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

Ah, I should have shown a bit of how this performs in Krita. I do another quick vid on that. But so far, haven't spotted any problem. Pressure response was normal, brushes with tilt-rotation rotated, quick strokes looked good. EDIT: Link to video testing Krita with the Ugee M708 is posted below.

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

So I've done a short video now of testing the tablet in Krita if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bV65e2icmr-Vf9k

[@darkaxe1289]

Thank you very much I'm so happy

[@Rocks_dives]

Im left handed i flipped it around and everything works backwards up is down and down is up left is right and right is left anyway to fix this thanks in advance.

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

Hi there. Yes. You can change this is the PenTablet application, the driver you would have downloaded when you got it. There is a setting for rotation or orientation (something like that)... Rotate 180 degrees for left handed mode

[@careyrausch6590]

Is there a certain thing I have to change to make it draw on Clip Studio? I followed all the setups and it does not draw

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

Hm. Did you install the correct driver (and also remove any other tablet drivers beforehand)? I can't think of why it wouldn't work in CSP. Does your cursor not move around at all in the app? Could it be a brush setting or something that isn't right?

[@GalaxyRocher]

Question I have the first version not the V3, and im trying to install the driver but I aint having luck cause 1.My lenovo laptop runs windows 11 but it dosent seem to be working, and 2. I cant find the drivers for the first version, it just says V3 and I dont have the V3. Lemme know what I can do to fix this.

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

Hmmm, this is tricky. I think you'll need to try two things... 1) contact UGEE to try get an older driver version 2) ask on Reddit if anyone has old version or has the V1 working on Win11. And a third possibility Trying something like Open Tablet Driveropentabletdriver.net/ I've never used this so cannot vouch for it and whether it works or is trustworthy. But an option to research

[@GalaxyRocher]

@@EyekooDrawsStuff Thanks to be honest I didnt expect such a fast response. Ill look into all 3 of these options.

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

@@GalaxyRocher you're welcome. Good luck. I hope you can get it working

[@eren7744]

Can you please say whats the differences with m708 and m708 v3

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

Good question... i think this one is the v3 and I'm not quite sure on the improvements that were made from the first iteration. I'll have to do some digging

[@eren7744]

[@lexa9682]

how do you use the zoom in and zoom out key buttons, theyre not working for 😣

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

Hi. Do you have the driver installed? Also check what the zoom in and out shortcuts are for your drawing app and set the tablet keys to that

[@lexa9682]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@EyekooDrawsStuffhii yes i downloaded it, i just don’t know how to set the keys to my drawing app

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

@@lexa9682 What app are you using? There's usually a Preferences or Settings option in your menus somewhere where you can find the shortcut settings

[@derekwallace-ms7bk]

I just ordered this tablet bc I'm looking into getting into digital art, which programs are best to use?

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

Well, Krita is free and very good. Blender is free if you want to do 3D modeling. Clip Studio Paint is a popular choice that often goes on sale but you can also get 3 month trial on computer. Plenty of tutorials on KZbin for these. Magma is freemium and browser-based so you don't have to download anything.

[@derekwallace-ms7bk]

@@EyekooDrawsStuff awesome, thanks

[@TheDwoods14]

Where are the drivers for Chrome os? I can't see them on thier website

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

Hi. There are no tablet drivers for any tablet as far as I know for Chrome OS. So tablet will work, but you can't customize anything.

[@TheDwoods14]

@@EyekooDrawsStuff Dang.

[@oban1284]

How to change the shortcuts button

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

Did you download and install the driver? The new application on your computer after install will be the place to change what shortcuts are assigned to the buttons

[@tripleg2513]

Do you know what that strip on the side is for? Is it just decorative? I've had this thing for months and only just realized it had a protector film over it let alone any possible use for it.

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

Haha, it's weird, but it serves no functional purpose/ It's just 'decorative'

[@tripleg2513]

@@EyekooDrawsStuff ok, thanks cause I've just been staring at this thing internally screaming "What is your purpose!?" for far too long

Can you tell me where the power button is please. No diagram with instructions. I can't even turn the bugger on because I dont' know where the power button is

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

@@monahelmgens3703 hi. There is no power button. Once you plug it in, it should be on. Have you downloaded the driver from the website?

[@Ink-454]

Would it work in Adobe Animate?

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

I haven't tried it in Animate, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. It worked fine in Photoshop for me.

[@Ink-454]

@@EyekooDrawsStuff hm ok, is wacom one (small or medium) any good for animation?

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

@@Ink-454 unfortunately haven't had a chance to test the new Wacom One devices out (hope to get my hands on them early next year). There have been concerns about the line quality for drawing, but these can likely be reduced by upping the stabilizer/smoothing settings. Do check out the seven pens and brad Colbow's KZbin channels for videos on the Wacom One devices. Really thorough reviews

An they be compatible with tablets?

[@EyekooDrawsStuff]

Hi there. It worked on my Android phone so I suspect it will work fine with other Android tablets. You'd need a USB-A to USB-C adapter though. I can't be sure of how this works on Android tablets though as I don't have one at the moment. The Deco MW (review on the channel) worked with my old Galaxy Tab S6 Lite when I tested that last year though
