Huion H610 Pro V2 Features
Clever Design Simply Succinct
With many pen displays moving away from the traditional feel that came with an artist’s tools. The Huion instead opts for a familiar feel with a bit of the modern flair. The entire look is understated with different shades of matte black differentiating the drawing area and the rest of the display. Along the side, you can find 8 hard touch customizable buttons. On top of that, there are 16 soft-touch buttons for a total of 24 options. This level of customization is high even for much higher priced pen displays.
The frame has a nice firm feel and is made of a special material that is resistant to scratches and bruises. The firm back support allows you to rest it on your arm like a palette as you work drawing comfortably. Despite feeling relatively tough the Huion H610 Pro V2 is also relatively light and portable. Anti-slip pads on the back keep it from slipping around from accidental pressure. Measuring in at around 14 inches by 10 inches with a width of half an inch and weight of under a pound and a half this model is very portable.
Drawing Area that Translates
With a 14 x 10 inch display you might be disappointed to find that the drawing area is only 10 x 6.5 inches. This is just about the perfect size for most users unless they are trying to make dramatic movements. The small size allows you to zoom in nicely for solid precision while you work. Within the box you have the same 1920 x 1080 resolution you’ll commonly find for full HD. You might need to adjust your windows a bit more than larger drawing tablets, however. This tablet makes up for that by being extremely easy to maneuver in its physical form.
Functional Drawing Stylus
The stylus included with the Huion H610 Pro V2 isn’t anything special but surprisingly outperforms a large portion of higher-priced options. The included PW100 is sleek with a two-color black and silver look. Matching the two colors is two buttons which some $400 pen displays opt for one on.
The more customization the better and along with the tablet buttons you have 26 options. 8 extra replacement nibs will help you make the most out of the pens considerable sensitivity. The PW100 boasts 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity efficiently putting it up with the top competition. The pen even has a degree of tilt sensitivity for even more possibilities. With a light matte feel the pen also feels pretty nice in your hand. You can rely on the passive EMR technology to keep it powered throughout use without charging.
Finally, 233 PPS gives you a very responsive and precise drawing process.
