Third-party reviews

Based on 27,175 buyer reviews from online shops.
Reviews last updated: July 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about HUION HS64

  • Extremely affordable, often cited as a top value choice for beginners and students
  • High pressure sensitivity with 8192 levels, providing precise control for varying line thickness
  • Compatible with multiple platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android 6.0+ devices
  • Battery-free stylus (PW100) eliminates the need for charging or batteries during use
  • Four programmable express keys allow for custom shortcuts to improve workflow
  • Highly portable, lightweight, and compact design (6.3 x 4 inch working area)
  • Smooth and responsive drawing experience with a high report rate (266 PPS)

What we don't like about HUION HS64

  • Small active drawing area may feel restrictive for professional or high-detail work
  • Glossy exterior finish is prone to visible scratches, fingerprints, and sweat marks
  • Software and drivers can occasionally be buggy, particularly on macOS
  • Cursor visibility issues reported on some Android devices (specifically some Samsung Galaxy models)
  • Glossy, smooth surface lacks the natural friction or 'paper-like' feel found on some higher-end models
  • The pen tip (nib) has been described by some users as having a 'mushy' or overly stiff feel
  • USB port may become loose or prone to wear and tear with heavy, long-term use

Verdict

The Huion HS64 is a compact, entry-level drawing tablet featuring a 6.3 x 4-inch active area (remappable to 102 x 63.8mm for mobile) and a lightweight 8mm profile. It comes equipped with a PW100 battery-free stylus offering 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, a 5080 LPI resolution, and a report rate of 266 PPS for responsive, lag-free input. Key pros include its plug-and-play Android 6.0 support via OTG, four customizable express keys to streamline workflow, and a highly portable 258g design that fits easily into laptop sleeves. However, cons include its relatively small drawing surface which may feel restrictive for serious artists, a smooth exterior prone to finger smudges, and the lack of a pen eraser nub or diverse nib hardness options.
