Pen Display Digital Pen PW517 3-in-1 USB-C Cable( standard) USB Extension Cable Pen Holder PH05 Pen Nib x 10 Pen Nib Clip Glove & Cleaning Cloth Quick Start Guide * Full-featured USB-C Cable is not included Review: Nice piece of tech at a reasonable price - Some people say there's not much difference between a drawing tablet and a display tablet. I think they're wrong! I own a Wacom CTL-672 that won't track properly and destroys the pen nibs within days. I also own a XP-PEN Deco 01 V2 which is okay, but looking at the screen instead of where you're drawing takes a bit of getting used to and it always felt like I was spending longer to get the results I wanted. When you upgrade to a display tablet, you realise that those cheaper drawing tablets were somewhat holding you back. Being able to see your strokes directly under where you're applying the pen nib makes drawing easier. It's not the same as drawing on paper, but it's very close. The cursor on your computer is almost exactly where the nib touches on the screen and since you're looking directly at it while applying pressure, it feels more authentic. There was no stand included with this tablet, which was disappointing but I ended up buying the Huion stand made for their Kamvas 16, which is solid. You really do need a stand because tilting your head down will eventually make your neck and back ache. Buy a stand at the same time you buy the tablet rather than later! Actually looking at the tablet screen and drawing on it, I have no issues so far. The screen isn't as bright as you'd expect but it's by no means too dim to work on. I think the built in screen protector might be affecting the amount of brightness. Speaking of the screen protector, it makes the surface feel a bit like paper. There's resistance, but not too much, which feels nice. The screen colours seem decent and I don't feel like any part of the spectrum is unbalanced. The stylus pen is quite chunky and has a rubberised cover where your finger tips sit. There are 2 buttons in this area which work well as middle click and right click, though you can customise these in the driver software. The buttons themselves seem a little less solid than the buttons on the XP-PEN stylus, but they work fine. The stylus feels good to use for several hours without any fatigue. Using the included glove prevents sweat and oils making their way onto the stylus and tablet screen. Whenever you're not using the stylus, it can be placed in one of two ways in the stylus holder. The stylus holder also contains spare nibs. There's 2 ways to connect this tablet. The first way is the same way many tablets connect, with a 3 way cable that has 1 connection to the tablet with 1 USB data cable, 1 USB power cable, and 1 HDMI video cable back to the computer. The second way is with a USB-C cable, which not only needs to have a long enough connector to fit into the tablet (Huion's own vastly overpriced cable seems to be the only one that fits without any issues) but your computer also has to be capable of delivering a compatible signal over that USB-C cable. Some modern mobile devices are capable of delivering a signal, though I don't own any of those and couldn't test that feature. All in all, very pleased with this tablet and impressed at how cheap it is for what you get. Review: Amazing Value for Digital Artists – Smooth, Responsive, and Portable! - The HUION Kamvas 13 has completely upgraded my digital art workflow. From unboxing to drawing, everything about this tablet has impressed me. The screen is vibrant and sharp with great color accuracy, and the matte finish gives it a natural, paper-like feel that’s super satisfying to draw on. The pen is lightweight, comfortable, and highly responsive—no noticeable lag or jitter. Pressure sensitivity and tilt work beautifully, allowing for smooth, nuanced strokes. Setup was quick, and it connected to my laptop with no issues. I love that it supports USB-C to USB-C, so I can use it with my Android phone too when I’m on the go. The customizable shortcut keys on the side are a nice bonus and really help speed up my workflow in programs like Photoshop and Clip Studio Paint. It’s also surprisingly lightweight and easy to carry, making it a great choice for students, hobbyists, or even pros on a budget.

Couldn’t be happier with my purchase! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good well made tablet with a nice pen + screen *by F***R on 13 December 2023* I recently purchased this graphics tablet along with the stand, and I must express my satisfaction with its commendable quality and user-friendly interface, especially considering its affordable price point. Having been out of practice with graphics tablets for a few years, this device facilitated my reentry into digital art seamlessly. The drivers functioned exceptionally well, although I did encounter a minor hiccup initially with pen pressure. Nevertheless, through patient navigation and configuration, I swiftly overcame this issue, and the tablet has since proven to be a reliable companion in my creative endeavors. One noteworthy feature is the pre-installed screen protector, which undoubtedly adds a layer of protection. However, I would like to highlight that it might slightly impede the overall feel and ease of use. Exerting too much pressure can cause a subtle jitter in hand movements against the screen, even when wearing the provided glove. Despite this, the tablet's overall performance and value make it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to delve into or reacquaint themselves with digital artistry. ## Frequently Bought Together - HUION New Kamvas 13 Graphics Tablet with Screen 13.3 Inch Come with Pen Tech 3.0 Battery-Free Pen First Pen Display that Supports Android Devices - Ideal for Remote Learning & Work(Violet Purple) - HUION Full-Featured USB-C to USB-C Monitor Cable USB 3.1 GEN 2 DP 1.2, Suitable for Kamvas 12/13/16(2021)/22/22 Plus, Kamvas Pro 13 (2.5K)/16(2.5K)/16(4K)/24(4K) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/203581909-kamvas-13-drawing-tablet-with-screen-8-shortcut-keys-13](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/203581909-kamvas-13-drawing-tablet-with-screen-8-shortcut-keys-13) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-07-24*
