We're All Gonna Make It Bruh

Just got my Huion WH1409. As I was trying to set up my sensitivity, I realized the package didn't come with a driver CD. Am I fucked? How should I proceed? Everything else seems to be included. Manuals, pen, wireless USB adapter, but no driver CD. Will support send me what's required? If not, could anyone here with the CD upload the files?

 No.2088

It's on the usb adapter I think; I don't know-it says something about it on the website or in the card you got if I recall correctly from that video.


 No.2089

Don't know about Huion but Wacom has all of their drivers on their website, so I'd assume the same is true for your tablet and brand.


 No.2091

Man, you got yours quick as hell. I'm jealous. I hope it's working out for you; the silence is killing me.

As someone who is used to ordering from China, silence on tracking is normal. Give it two weeks before you start worrying. Very surprised myself it got here so fast. (It arrived yesterday specifically, which is fast as shit even for DHL. Fastest I've ever gotten something from China, actually.)

>>2089

The driver page is blank so far, perhaps due to the fact that it just released.

>>2088

I'll search around. Thanks for the tip.

I think I misinterpreted what I was reading. I watched the video again and you WERE supposed to receive a driver cd. BRUTAL. Sorry man. M-Maybe it will work without it?


 No.2094

Also hopefully I get mine soon-I will upload the files to the mega.nz site if I can. I would still try and get a cd sent to you if possible though just in case I can't for whatever weird reason.

It works without, just don't think sensitivity is working. (Or I'm just retarded.) I'd love if you could upload those files when you get yours, though.

You know I got yo back nigguh, just keep an eye out on this thread. Do you live in Australia or the Phillippines or something? You got that thing quick as hell, I'm not sure when I'm going to get mine but I'll keep you posted.


 No.2098

>>2097

Just received a response from support. It appears that the drivers are indeed on the wireless USB adapter. I'll keep this thread up to help other anons who are wondering about this (since I know at least two of you guys also preordered) and because their manuals reference a driver CD, which will cause confusion.


 No.2099

I like it! I'm using it on a tablet pc and I can't use it to interact with the on-screen keyboard though which is a little irksome. The size and 'drawing' itself is close to perfect, though. At the price point my first impression is that this is among the best tablets currently on the market.


 No.2119

Fucking dicks shipped it with signature confirmation without telling me and since I was at class when they tried to deliver they are threatening to ship it back to the send and charge me the shipping costs. Next time I'm just going to wait until I can purchase it from an American store. Hopefully I'll be able to pick it up from DHL today.

Where was your usb adapter? Mine doesn't seem to have come with one.

It's in a little slot in the tablet itself; you'll see it if you flip it upside down

Tried the wireless out today. Works like a dream; no perceptible lag whatsoever. Here's a picture I made comparing the overall size of the tablet and its active area versus that of the Intuos 5/Pro Large and Medium.

For using these with a 21:9 monitor is there a way for me to define a section of the screen that the drawing pad is active on or am I going to run into an issue where it stretches the tablets horizontal resolution across the entire width of the 21:9 screen and makes the "cursor" more faster horizontally than vertically.


 No.2136

>>2132

In the driver software there is a button that automatically optimizes the active area to the screen resolution. I use the full area regardless though as the difference isn't very noticeable-or at least it isn't compared to the mid-sized tablets I've used in the past.

I feel like I should talk more about it.

Drawing with it feels pretty good. I like how it seems to give you a lot of play with the lower pressure levels. You can really feel the tip of the Huion stylus being depressed depending on how much pressure you apply and react accordingly, this is in contrast to the Wacom pen which doesn't seem to move much at all, for better or worse. Despite boasting a relatively pleasant drawing experience, stylus does feel "cheap" in comparison to a Wacom stylus though, it's noticeably lighter weight, has no tilt function as far as I'm aware or an eraser, but that stuff is of little concern in my personal opinion.

The size itself is of course a fantastic asset. It has roughly a square inch larger active area than my Intuos Pro Large and has roughly a square inch smaller overall footprint. Having 12 hotkeys is great and I much prefer it to Wacom's radial dial which has always seemed a bit "style over substance".

So, in spite of the relatively cheap feeling stylus, drawing and painting with it seems fine, the wireless appears to work great and the driver software that comes with it is straightforward enough. So far the lack of pen tilt (at least as far as I know), and abidexterity are the only real noteworthy flaws of this device. Will it have long or even short term reliability issues? Only time will tell. If fears of reliability problems prove unfounded though, this device will be a serious contender for the best traditional desktop style tablet available, and certainly the best for the money.


 No.2139

>>2136

Does that just change the area on the tablet that works for drawing though?

>>2137

One issue I've been having is it randomly stopping working and I have to unplug and plug back in the wireless receiver.


 No.2140

>>2139

Yes, actually you're right, I think that's how my wacom tablets work as well, but I guess I'm not sure.

>>2139

Hmm, maybe I'll use the wireless more just to test if that's happening. Might have to send it back to them. I never planned on using the wireless but I imagine not being able to would be a major pain if it's something you really intended to make use of.

Thanks anyway.

I don't really want to use windows and now that Krita's GOAT I won't need to anymore.

Actually, on that note how is it with Krita?


 No.2146

>>2144

It's pretty great with Krita. I could almost see myself swapping it in with my Intuos Large.

To put things in perspective, the Huion Giano costs $159 new, a new Intuos Medium Costs $350, and a Large costs $500. To implement the same wireless functionality that the Giano has you have to invest in a wireless accessory kit that costs an additional $40 as well. I very nearly prefer this thing to my $500 tablet and would probably swap it out if I wasn't so lazy. For my purposes, it's an excellent backup and I'll definitely be selling my Intuos Medium some time in the near future so long as I don't experience any severe problems with it. However, definitely keep in mind this is a new product and there could be some hiccups and faults. As you may have seen in this thread another guy who bought it is having a bit of a problem with the wireless functionality, for example.


 No.2147

Maybe some Linux enthusiasts will make their own drivers if it takes off, I don't think that would be the first time that happened.


 No.2163

I wouldn't call Krita GOAT but it's definitely very good.

The tablet works great with krita.

>>2147

I believe there is a guide on the Krita site on getting Huion tablets to work with it in linux. I can't remember if it was for specific huion tablets though or all huion tablets.

Hopefully it gets drivers.

Although I don't remember if the price was just a sale thing or if it's actually around 150, because if it jumps back up to 300 I'm just going to get a used wacom at that point.

It should pop up on amazon soon enough if it hasn't already. That willsave you on the $20 shipping.

Yeah https://krita.org/about/faq/#huiontablet it's confirmed to work with the H610 (cause Huion sent them one to test on) and it may work with other models too.


 No.2525

Just wanted to bump this to say that this thing doesn't have any linux drivers, and you have to use the 610's. When you do so it doesn't recognize it as a graphic tablet, so you can't correct it with the "force aspect ratio" option.

So if your monitor doesn't match up with it, tough shit your circles are going to be ovals, the center area is going to be generally accurate, but it'll rapidly decelerate when you move out of the center with the cursor slowing to a crawl towards the edges.

I don't know, but I think I'm literally the first person running Linux Mint to purchase and try to use one of these things, given the limited quantity they're at to begin with and how niche it is, and how nobody even seems aware of it outside of a few circles.

That being said, the build quality is great and at the price it's at it's a bargain. If you're running windows or OSX and it looks good, it's worth it.


 No.2526

>>2525

Linux drivers may be forthcoming; if I was a linux user I would sell just about any other tablet and put the money towards this one when/if the drivers do release.


 No.2528

Thanks for the info, hopefully linux drivers will pop up within the next few months, worst comes to worst I at least got me a windows partition to boot into :^)


 No.2531

>>2526

Well I emailed them asking about a refund, but I'd much rather actual compatibility be made for it since it's a really good tablet that I do want to use.

It's just, I can't right now.

Do you think I should try contacting the Krita team on this? I want to get in touch with whoever made the 610's driver or someone tech savvy on this since I'd like to hang onto it.
