What we don't like about Parblo A640 V2

  • Software and drivers can be difficult to install or unreliable

  • The drawing surface is prone to scratches and fingerprints
  • Issues with pressure sensitivity settings resetting arbitrarily in software
  • Compatibility issues reported, particularly with Mac or specific apps like Krita
  • Relative scrolling mode can be imprecise and frustrating
  • Initial button mapping or orientation may require manual adjustment

Verdict

The Parblo A640 V2 is a compact and highly portable graphic drawing tablet featuring a 6x4 inch active area and a slim design measuring just 5.2mm at its thinnest point. It is equipped with a battery-free passive stylus that provides 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, a 5080 LPI resolution, and a high report rate of 260 RPS for a smooth, natural drawing experience. Key characteristics include four customizable express keys for workflow efficiency, a reversible USB Type-C connection, and wide compatibility across Windows, macOS, and Android 6.0+ devices. Its primary advantages are its extreme affordability, lightweight build, and suitability for tasks like digital art, online teaching, and playing OSU!. However, some users have reported cons such as a surface that is prone to scratches over time and software driver issues, including potential orientation bugs and inconsistent button mapping settings.
