7P notes: Huion Inspiroy 2 L (H1061P)
Summary
I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS THIS TABLET CURRENTLY
I only tried this tablet for about a week. I liked it very much initially.
In Sept 2023 a Reddit user told me about some bad pressure handling. I confirmed this is the case. Until Huion issues a firmware or driver fix for this problem I cannot recommend this tablet.
Drawing experience
Has TERRIBLE pressure handling.
I have personally seen this problem with 2 separate Inspiroy 2 L models. And I know of at least 2 others who have found this problem in their models.
I cannot say that every model has this problem, but it seems frequent enough that I would avoid this tablet.
Pressure problems
Tablet experiences extremely unstable pressure causing extreme pulsing of strokes.
Example: With Krita Ink3 GPen brush with default settings and size set to 400 pixels.
The pulsing is also visible in smaller brushes - for example 100 pixels.
The effect is not noticeable with small brushes for example 5 pixels.
Huion needs to address this problem with an update.
This behavior seems hardware-related. It occurs with both when using the Huion driver and OpenTabletDriver.
Pen
Comes with the PW110 pen
Other compatible pens
I tried it with a PW517 pen it worked.
Size
Huion puts L in the name of this tablet to identify it is as a "large" tablet. However this tablet is close to size to medium tablets like the Wacom Intuos Pro medium (PTH-660) it is nowhere close to the true large size of something like the Wacom Intuos Pro Large (PTH-860) or the Huion Inspiroy Giano G930L.
Wireless
Does NOT support wireless connectivity. Must be connected with USB cable.
Express keys
I really enjoyed the flexibility of how the buttons work with the group keys. Even though there are 8 buttons, with the three group keys, you get effectively 8x3 = 24 buttons.
Compared RTP-700
This model has physical buttons, unlike the capacitive buttons of the RTP-700.
Compared to the XP Deco LW
Similar drawing experience (except for the pressure issue), but I like the extra buttons capabilities and the scroller of the Inspiroy 2 L.
The Huion PW517 pen has a lower (better) initial activation force than the pen that comes with the XP Deco LW.
Pressure instability testing
Test 1 on 2023/12/6
firmware: T21m 221228
app: Krita
brush: ink-3 G pen, 500px
driver: v15.6.2.80
comments: strong pulsing effect at lower pressues. Size of brush jumps dramatically up and down.
Test 2 on 2023/12/6
firmware: T21m 221228
app: Krita
brush: ink-3 G pen, 500px
driver: v15.7.6.753
comments: pulsing still strongly present at lower pressures but with this driver the effect is smoother.
