GAOMON M10K
Score: 80/100Rankings
The Gaomon M10K offers a large drawing surface, tilt-supporting battery-free pen and ten shortcut keys, making it a solid entry-level tablet. Driver stability and lack of Bluetooth limit its appeal for power users and mobile creators. Best suited for beginners and hobbyists who value workspace size over premium software integration.
The Wacom Intuos Small Bluetooth is a compact, lightweight tablet with Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a battery-free EMR pen and four ExpressKeys. Its small active area and absence of tilt support limit professional use, and it lacks multi-touch gestures. Perfect for educators, students, and hobbyists who prioritize portability and wireless freedom.

Long-time Wacom users note that it meets expectations for an entry-level wireless tablet without compromising functionality.
Everyday users appreciate the tablet's sturdy construction, lightweight and compact design, and the absence of Bluetooth lag, often highlighting the included software as a bonus.

“I've been using their products for last 20+ years, and this one didn't disappoint! This is my first wireless Wacom, so I was a bit worry about laggings and connectivity in general, but no issues so far. Great build and functionality for the price.”

Professional reviewers commend the Gaomon M10K for its solid build, large active area, high-resolution surface, and the battery-free pen with 8192 pressure levels and tilt, noting it offers excellent value for beginners and hobbyists. However, they caution that the driver software is only satisfactory and that the express keys may not satisfy power users seeking deep customization, while the pen's weight can be a drawback for precise work.
Everyday users consistently praise the tablet's generous drawing space, lightweight design, and the included accessories that make it ready to use out of the box. Common praise centers on its price-to-performance ratio and smooth drawing experience, while recurring complaints focus on the pen's heft, a soft pressure curve, unreliable Android OTG connectivity, and the absence of Bluetooth.
