Verdict

The Gaomon S630 is an ultra-portable, screenless graphics tablet featuring a 5 x 3.2-inch active area (PC mode) and an exceptionally slim 6mm profile weighing just 168g. It provides 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity, a 5080 LPI resolution, and a high report rate of ≥266 PPS for responsive, lag-free input using the battery-free AP32 stylus. Its main characteristics include four customisable shortcut keys, support for ±60° tilt, and broad compatibility with Windows 7+, macOS 10.12+, and Android 6.0+ via OTG. While its main pros are its travel-friendly lightweight design, high sensitivity, and suitability for rhythm games like Osu!, its primary cons include a relatively small drawing surface that may feel restrictive to some artists and the requirement of a wired micro-USB connection to a separate host device as it is not a standalone product.
