WEBVTT Kind: captions Language: en 00:00:02.789 --> 00:00:06.370 Gaomon M106K 00:00:06.370 --> 00:00:10.980 Number one thing to know about this tablet: you have to push the USB wire into the tablet 00:00:10.980 --> 00:00:12.690 really hard. 00:00:12.690 --> 00:00:14.200 Make sure it goes in all the way. 00:00:14.200 --> 00:00:19.030 I was incredibly frustrated by this wire throughout my review because I thought I had it plugged 00:00:19.030 --> 00:00:23.399 in right, but I didn’t, and as a result the tablet kept disconnecting and I kept wiggling 00:00:23.399 --> 00:00:25.080 the wire for it to work. 00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:26.800 Plug it in all the way! 00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:30.509 In the box you’ll find the tablet, the pen, which has a cap on it. 00:00:30.509 --> 00:00:31.509 Extra pen tips. 00:00:31.509 --> 00:00:32.950 The tips are inside this pouch. 00:00:32.950 --> 00:00:34.960 A one-finger drawing glove. 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.730 The pen’s charging cable - you do have to charge this pen. 00:00:38.730 --> 00:00:40.630 The tablet’s USB cable. 00:00:40.630 --> 00:00:45.170 And the manual, although it’s not as descriptive as the one you can download off of the website. 00:00:45.170 --> 00:00:49.120 Please note if you’re thinking of buying this, this set of items is called the M106K 00:00:49.120 --> 00:00:50.120 Package. 00:00:50.120 --> 00:00:54.470 You have the option to buy the tablet’s necessary parts only, in which case you will 00:00:54.470 --> 00:00:59.250 only get 4 extra pen tips instead of 14 and no drawing glove. 00:00:59.250 --> 00:01:03.399 If you plan on using the drawing glove, then the extra $15 is worth it. 00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:08.310 Otherwise just get the regular tablet and order 20 pen tips separately for $8. 00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:10.440 Let’s install the tablet. 00:01:10.440 --> 00:01:13.420 First make sure any old tablets are uninstalled. 00:01:13.420 --> 00:01:16.420 Computers can only understand one tablet at a time. 00:01:16.420 --> 00:01:19.299 Next, plug the M106K into your computer. 00:01:19.299 --> 00:01:22.240 Go to www.gaomon.net/download. 00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:25.560 Use the dropdown to look up the M106K. 00:01:25.560 --> 00:01:26.560 Download the driver. 00:01:26.560 --> 00:01:30.670 There is a Mac and a Windows version, so be sure to pick the right one. 00:01:30.670 --> 00:01:32.370 Unzip the folder. 00:01:32.370 --> 00:01:34.100 Double click the installer. 00:01:34.100 --> 00:01:35.690 Click yes and next for everything. 00:01:35.690 --> 00:01:39.049 When you’ve finished installing, restart your computer. 00:01:39.049 --> 00:01:42.670 Right click on the Gaomon icon and choose Run as Administrator. 00:01:42.670 --> 00:01:48.740 This will start up the tablet. 00:01:48.740 --> 00:01:53.240 The tablet works great and has more shortcut buttons than any other tablet I’ve had: 00:01:53.240 --> 00:01:57.860 a set of buttons on the side you press, and a set along the top you press with the pen. 00:01:57.860 --> 00:02:00.479 To use the top buttons you have to enable them. 00:02:00.479 --> 00:02:04.259 To do that, right click and run as admin on the Gaomon Tablet. 00:02:04.259 --> 00:02:08.259 Go to Press Keys and check the Enable Soft Keys box at the bottom. 00:02:08.259 --> 00:02:12.599 You can change what each button does by clicking on the button and then its box. 00:02:12.599 --> 00:02:17.349 While you are in this window, you can also switch to Stylus Pen to change pressure sensitivity, 00:02:17.349 --> 00:02:20.790 or program the shortcut buttons on the pen itself. 00:02:20.790 --> 00:02:25.090 Under the Work Area tab, you can switch the orientation of the tablet by 180 degrees if 00:02:25.090 --> 00:02:26.799 you are left-handed. 00:02:26.799 --> 00:02:30.409 Also physically pick up your tablet and turn it 180 degrees so you can draw without the 00:02:30.409 --> 00:02:31.599 buttons in the way. 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:33.079 That’s pretty much it! 00:02:33.079 --> 00:02:36.700 The tablet works great in all of the programs I tested it in. 00:02:36.700 --> 00:02:43.079 Unlike one of the other Gaomon tablets I tested, it works properly in SAI. 00:02:43.079 --> 00:02:53.980 The tablet is a nice big size, 14” x 9”, yet something you can still travel with. 00:02:53.980 --> 00:02:59.870 Here are the results on how the M106K compares to similar tablets I’ve used. 00:02:59.870 --> 00:03:03.140 The Gaomon tablet has the same pressure sensitivity as its Huion competitor. 00:03:03.140 --> 00:03:15.080 The Huion has fewer shortcut buttons, but it is wireless whereas the Gaomon has to plug 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:16.739 into the computer. 00:03:16.739 --> 00:03:19.599 The wireless feature explains the price difference. 00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:24.549 The fact you can buy this for a little over $50 amazes me. 00:03:24.549 --> 00:03:29.919 I used to say you had to spend at least $100 for a good tablet, but I’ve changed my mind 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.010 after testing the Gaomon M106K. 00:03:32.010 --> 00:03:33.569 Do you have this specific model? 00:03:33.569 --> 00:03:40.150 If you do, let us know how long you’ve been using it and what you think in the comm ents. 00:03:40.150 --> 00:03:41.469 I’ll highlight useful ones. 00:03:41.469 --> 00:03:46.959 For more product reviews, go to ScribbleKibble.com, click the episodes link, and choose Product 00:03:46.959 --> 00:03:47.959 Reviews. 00:03:47.959 --> 00:03:48.079 See you next time!
