Key features, explained

Based on the manufacturer's Amazon listing.

10 x 6 inch drawing area
A large surface gives your hand room for long strokes. The listing describes the surface as papery textured.
16,384-level passive pen
Light pressure gives thin lines and hard pressure gives thick ones, which is what brushes in Photoshop and similar apps respond to. Passive means the pen has no battery.
8 customizable express keys
Set them to eraser, zoom, scrolling or undo so you reach for the keyboard less.
Works with five systems
UGEE lists Windows 11, 10, 8 and 7, macOS 10.12 or later, ChromeOS 88 or later, Android 10.0 or later, and Linux.
USB-C with adapters
It connects by USB to USB-C, with adapters for USB-C, and the listing names laptops, desktops, Chromebooks and tablets.
For either hand
The layout works for right- or left-handed use, and a pen holder and extra pen tips are included.
