Best drawing tablet under $100? - wjckc - 04-16-2018
I need some advice a what drawing tablets are best compatible with the Gimp. Specific to Windows or Linux is fine. I am not looking for anything too fancy. $50 - $100 range.
BTW - 2.10.0-RC1 has got to be the most significant since 2.4 - Still want CMYK

Look at some of the smaller Wacom tablets, especially old stock offerings. Some of the most recent use bluetooth connections, one more thing to go wrong. I think USB is better.

Very tempting to go for a lower priced tablet, Ugee / Huion with great specifications. Always lots of reports of problems, usually stylus pressure not working. Pays your money, takes your chance

Precisely. When I started researching, problem reports dominated so much I decided to ask first. I did get one of the cheaper Monoprice tablet some time ago for something highly specific, but after not getting it to work myself, I could only finds hacks that make sorta kinda but not really work. So thank you for the advice.
I stopped holding my breath for CMYK support a decade ago. Gimp by it's nature is really complicated to work on. I appreciate what the developers deliver. I'll have donate to their funding.
