What the Huion Inspiroy H1060P is

The Huion Inspiroy H1060P is a screenless pen tablet with a 10 x 6.25 inch drawing area. You plug it into a computer or a supported Android phone, then draw on the pad while your lines appear on the screen in front of you.

What sets it apart is the number of shortcuts: 12 physical press keys plus 16 soft keys. The pen is Huion's battery-free PW100 with plus or minus 60 degrees of tilt. The listing does not state the pen's pressure levels.

Key features, explained

Based on the manufacturer's Amazon listing.

12 press keys plus 16 soft keys
Set each one in the Huion driver to a command you use often, such as erase, zoom in and out, or scroll, so you reach for the keyboard less.
A 10 x 6.25 inch drawing area
Huion calls the 10 x 6.25 inch working area the most comfortable size to work on, with room for longer strokes.
Battery-free PW100 pen with tilt
The pen has nothing to charge and supports plus or minus 60 degrees of tilt, so angling the pen changes the stroke the way it would with a pencil.
Mainstream software support
The listing names Photoshop, SAI, Illustrator and CorelDRAW among the design and drawing apps it supports.
Works with a computer or an Android phone
The listing supports Windows 7 or later, macOS 10.12 or later, Android 6.0 or later and Linux (Ubuntu). A phone connects through the OTG connector.
10 mm slim, symmetrical design
The body is 10 mm thin, and the layout works for either hand. Left-handed artists rotate the tablet 180 degrees in the driver.

Who the Huion Inspiroy H1060P suits

Artists who work with lots of shortcuts. 12 press keys and 16 soft keys cover brush switching, undo, zoom and more without touching the keyboard.
Beginners and hobbyists. Huion lists professional artists, beginners and amateur hobbyists, and the battery-free pen has nothing to charge.
Left-handed artists. The symmetrical design flips 180 degrees in the driver, so the keys sit on the side that suits you.

Look elsewhere if: you want to draw on the screen itself. A pen display such as the XPPen Artist 13.3 Pro V2 shows the image under your pen.
