Design and Functionality

Either Huion H420 or Wacom Intuos Pro Medium Bundle have programmable express keys to create shortcuts.

Huion H420 is small in comparison with Wacom Intuos that almost doubled the size. Huion is lightweight and transportable. Wacom can boast a top-notch design with a metal back.

The drivers come up with the Huion H420 on CD, but it is better to use newer drivers from the Huion’s site. The unit comes up with the program to change the function of the buttons. It has a small drawing area and it is one more reason to use it just for learning.

Both units’ workspace is very smooth and the pen glides perfectly. Therefore, Huion H420’s surface could be too smooth for some rookies and make the drawing harder.

It requires the image editor. Wacom allows drawing that is more professional due to the good compatibility with Photoshop.

Stylus

Huion H420’s pen is wireless, but it needs AAA batteries that make it very heavily weighted in contrast to Wacom Intuos’ stylus. Huion H420’s pen is made with a spring inside to activate the on/off button on the top of the stylus. The tablet has no stylus holder that is typical for the low-cost gadgets. Wacom Intuos’ stylus goes with various nibs and three refill cartridges for the fine-tip pen.
