Expert Opinion
Professional reviewers commend the Star G640 for its ultra‑thin 2 mm chassis, lightweight construction, and the 8192‑level battery‑free pen that delivers accurate pressure across major creative apps. The high 266 RPS report rate in Rev A is highlighted as a distinct advantage for OSU! rhythm gaming, while the larger 6 × 4 in active area is seen as an improvement over the older G430. However, editors note the lack of tilt support, programmable buttons, and the wired‑only USB connection as drawbacks, and they point out that buyers must choose between a gaming‑focused Rev A and a drawing‑focused Rev B, which can cause confusion.
What Users Say
Everyday users love the tablet’s portability, battery‑free stylus, and the value of 20 extra nibs, often describing it as a great companion for travel, e‑learning, and casual OSU! gaming. Common complaints revolve around the limited drawing space, absence of tilt or shortcut keys, occasional Linux driver issues, and the intrusive USB cable. Overall sentiment is positive for beginners and gamers, but users seeking a larger workspace or advanced features feel constrained.
Common Complaints
Users repeatedly mention the cramped 6 × 4 in drawing surface, the lack of tilt and express keys, driver compatibility hiccups on Linux, and the fixed USB cable interfering with hand movement. The need to select the correct Rev version for gaming versus drawing also generates confusion.
