Suitable tablet for Artrage?

[Lozza79]

I have been using Artrage for a few weeks now but I have been using mouse and keyboard on a desktop PC and have been finding it difficult to draw smooth lines and details using a mouse, although I have got better over time. However I think I'll need to buy a tablet if I really want to get anywhere. Can you get away with using cheaper end tablets or will the software only work on certain ones? I'm kind of on a budget so cant really afford some £700 job. Can anyone recommend a good and reasonably priced tablet for Artrage?

you would want a tablet that supports tilt for the pencils and some other tools (custom brush, for example) performing in the most realistic way

an intuos pro (either 2017 model, or a 2014 one if you can find it cheaper) will last you years and will be a better choice.

this one is newer and supposedly better, larger working area too.

Rondo, I am looking at a GT 220 from Huion but was not sure if Artrage would would with that brand name so you are having no problems with the drivers? I was looking at a Wacom Cintique but the lesser known brands are starting to climb up there in quality now and I am hearing good things and Huion has really caught my eye so if you have the time would love the input.

I began with the Adesso Z12, I do not know if it still exists, if so, then in other dimensions or proportions... it was a 9x12 (I think) graphic tablet, what I thought was important was that ===> it had approximately the same size as my laptop screen (<= 14") so painting on the tablet gave me the same "feeling" of size as what I saw on the screen.

It had a decent price and performed well with AR. Actually, it came with AR 2.5 (and infected me with the AR-Virus, do you know if there are remedies out there against that virus? ) and Adobe Photo Shop Elements 7.

Now as I wanted to be "freed" from that chain to the/a computer, I got a Surface Pro4 without a keyboard... It feels like I can paint anywhere I want.. just like with a piece of paper and pencil. But I still use the Adesso tablet from time to time, it is 6 y old and still works perfectly.
