You can also adjust the pressure curve in the driver, as well as map the tablet and rotate the image. There’s some customization for the pen, limited to the usual (for low-cost tablets) erase and right-click. You can use these to program your favorite commands in various art programs.
The driver allows quite a bit of customization due to the express keys and dial. Buttons on the back bring up an on-screen menu where you can adjust colors and brightness.
All you need to do is attach the power cord, adapter, and, after installing the driver, attach the USB cord.Īll buttons other than the express keys and dial are on the back, including the power button, so you will have to reach back to turn it on. I didn’t have to adjust the color, but you can, using the controls on the back. The relatively compact size makes it not too big of a burden. While it’s not something you’d bring to a coffee shop or client meeting, I could see taking it in car to work when away from home, or if you’re a student who moves a lot, it could be a real convenience to have a screen drawing tablet that’s not big and heavy.
This is a relatively portable pen display, considering it has an attached stand. The buttons and dial make the Veikk resemble a Cintiq.Īll the cables it came with worked fine. The buttons on the side protrude a little and press easily enough. I prefer the buttons on the side like this to hanging out the bottom. To reach the power button you have to access the back of the device, so be sure you leave room to do that. I really like the pen, and prefer it to the thick, round ones, since this one is more like a ballpoint pen. The pen is thin, curved, and comfortable to hold. It goes from an almost upright to a low angle and holds the tablet sturdily. The stand is metal with rubber sleeves on the legs. The buttons and scrolldial make it resemble a Cintiq.
The design is pleasing though plastic, it doesn’t look cheap. It’s mostly plastic, which explains its light weight. The pen holder on the right side of the tablet is a super-convenient way of putting down the pen without worrying about it rolling away. The pen did not come with a nib already in it. There’s also a nib remover that sits in its own little recessed area in the pen case.Half the nibs are gray and half are white, with the gray ones being harder and the white ones slightly more rubbery. The clamshell pen case with a nib holder inside and 9 extra nibs (total of 10) is a nice touch. As of this writing, there is not a lot of info about this tablet on, but there’s more info and photos on the Veikk Amazon listing.
You should download the latest driver from. After removing that, there’s still a built-in screen protector. The tablet comes with a protective film over the screen that’s meant to be removed. There were no scratches, dust, dead pixels, or damage. The aspect ratio is long horizontally it’s much more rectangular than it is square. The Veikk 1560 isn’t completely flat like a Cintiq Pro is it’s like a traditional Cintiq. The first thing I noticed was how slim and light the tablet is for something that sits on a desk.The 15.6″ display is of course not the biggest drawing tablet surface there is, but it’s a good size, larger than most computer screens and than the largest iPad Pro. The goods inside came in plastic bags, and the tablet itself had some extra foam protection. The tablet came safely and neatly packaged with an outer box inside the Amazon box, as well as an inner box with a handle, and foam protection inside that box.
