Verdict

The Gaomon S620 is a compact and portable entry-level graphics tablet featuring a 6.5 x 4-inch active area, a 5080 LPI resolution, and a 266 PPS report rate. It utilizes the AP32 battery-free stylus, which offers 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity and 10mm reading height for precise control without the need for charging. Its main characteristics include four programmable express keys for workflow efficiency, a slim 8mm profile, and broad compatibility with Windows, macOS, and Android 6.0+ devices. Pros include its high responsiveness—making it a popular choice for rhythm games like OSU!—its lightweight 249g build, and textured anti-slip surface for stability. However, some cons include a relatively small working area for larger projects, the lack of tilt support on certain versions, and the use of a Micro-USB connection rather than USB-C for the tablet port.
