Sine 2018, I’ve used the Ugee M708 Graphic Tablet for my editing needs and I had found it very responsive and most importantly inexpensive because I live in Nigeria but earlier this year, I thought it was time for an upgrade so I got the Gaomon PD1161 Graphic Tablet and well, it has a lot going for it but there’s  a couple things that I do miss about my M708.

The Gaomon tablet comes with a Graphi Pen, Pen Stand that also houses 8 extra pen tips and doubles as a tip remover, a power cable and HDMI cable (these cables are all bundled together), a half glove and the Gaomon PD1161 itself which spots an 11.6 HD pen-touch responsive display. For overall performance, the Gaomon works just fine as an introductory tablet for those just starting to work with graphic tablets with screens on them but if you’re looking for something on par with something like the Wacom Clintiq line, then you need to increase your budget. Now let’s discuss the Pros and Cons.

  • PROS;

The Gaomon PD1161 is an impressive tablet. It has 8 customizable buttons and offers your 4 other buttons to make precise adjustments to the screen’s color science, contrast levels, brightness and other functions. The Gaomon app is pretty straightforward and setting up is a breeze. Unlike the Ugee that stops functioning when you install another graphic tablet software, the Gaomon works fine and that’s weirdly pleasant because I can comfortably circle between the Gaomon and the Ugee.

The pen feels pretty standard with the addition of a light rubberized grip area for comfortable for people who’d be using it over a long period of time with the added advantage of being battery free so you don’t need to charge every now and again. Pen is pressure sensitive and that setting can be tweak in the Gaomon app. Also while the screen isn’t the best pixel-wise, the colors are pretty accurate and shouldn’t cause you any problems in that department.

  • CONS;

Lack of a battery is an issue for me. I can’t move full time to the Gaomon because it needs constant electricity to function. Also, the cable system is just ridiculous. because for the life of me, I can’t figure out why the power cable and HDMI cables are somehow connected. For people who might forget one, this seems like a good compromise but the heavens forbid that it somehow gets bad, its gone and that’s that.

In retrospect, my cons with the tablet (especially the battery issue) can be tied to the price as the Gaomon PD1161 currently retails at around $179. I would recommend the Gaomon PD1161 to anyone looking for a tablet that would serve as a secondary screen and speed up their workflow.
