  • You want a pen with nothing to charge and 2 side buttons for switching to the eraser

What the GAOMON M10K is

The GAOMON M10K is a screenless pen tablet. You connect it to a Windows PC or Mac with a USB cable and draw on its 10 x 6.25 inch surface while your lines appear on the monitor.

Its standout feature is a touch ring next to the 10 press keys, which you can set to zoom the canvas, change brush size or scroll. The AP31 pen needs no battery and GAOMON rates it at 8,192 pressure levels.

Key features, explained

Based on the manufacturer's Amazon listing.

  • Touch ring

    Program the ring for canvas zoom, brush size or page scrolling, so common adjustments happen with one finger. It also works for left-handed users.

  • 10 press keys

    Set each key to a shortcut you use often, such as undo or a brush switch, and reach for the keyboard less.

  • Battery-free AP31 pen with 8,192 pressure levels

    The pen is light, needs no charging, and has 2 side buttons that switch between pen and eraser instantly.

  • 10 x 6.25 inch drawing area with a paper-like texture

    GAOMON describes the surface as a papery texture that gives a pen-on-paper drawing feel.

  • Works with common art and meeting apps

    The listing names Photoshop, Krita and MediBang for drawing, and OneNote, Microsoft Whiteboard and Zoom for teaching or remote work.

  • USB connection

    Plug it into your computer with the USB cable, then install the driver from the official GAOMON website. Once the computer recognizes the tablet, you can start using it.

Who the GAOMON M10K suits

  • Beginners. GAOMON pitches it at people getting started with drawing, painting or photo editing on a computer, with a pen that has nothing to charge.
  • Photo editors. The touch ring makes zooming and brush size changes quick while you retouch.
  • Teachers and remote workers. The listing names OneNote, Microsoft Whiteboard and Zoom, so it doubles as a writing pad for lessons and calls.

Look elsewhere if: you want even more pen sensitivity. The XPPen Deco 01 V3 has the same 10 x 6.25 inch area with a 16,384-level pen and USB-C.
