What the Huion Inspiroy H950P is

The Huion Inspiroy H950P is a mid-size screenless pen tablet. You connect it to a computer or Android device and draw on its 8 x 5 inch surface while your lines appear on the screen.

It sits between small 6 x 4 inch tablets and large 10 inch ones. The PW100 pen is battery-free with 8,192 pressure levels, and 8 press keys along the side can be set to your own shortcuts.

Key features, explained

Based on the manufacturer's Amazon listing.

  • Battery-free PW100 pen

    The pen needs no charging and has 8,192 pressure levels, so light and heavy strokes come out as thin and thick lines. The side buttons switch between pen and eraser.

  • 8 customizable press keys

    Set the keys to your favorite shortcuts, and give each app its own set in the Huion driver.

  • An 8 x 5 inch drawing area

    It gives your hand more room than a pocket-size tablet but still fits a small desk.

  • 0.3 inch thin

    It is slim enough to carry between home, work and class.

  • Works with four systems

    It supports Mac, Windows and Linux computers, plus Android phones and tablets running 6.0 or later. It can also be set up for left-handed use.

  • More than a drawing pad

    Use it as a writing or signature pad in OneNote, Microsoft Whiteboard or Zoom, or in art apps like Photoshop, SAI and Medibang Paint.
