After trying a few things, I learned I had to download the Wacom drivers off the Wacom site, and voila, the pressure option showed up and it worked fine. In Illustrator on Mac, at first I could not get the pressure option to show up in the options panel for the pens that get pressure. I did have some issues with Gimp on Mac, which is buggy anyway, so I don’t think it had to do with the tablet. I was really impressed with how it got pressure on Inkscape. The Ugee pressure worked well on all of these. I did basic pressure tests on Mac on Photoshop, Illustrator, Inkscape, and Clip Studio Paint.

It also would look a little weird on the bottom but that could be a better solution. I’m guessing the pen loop is on top and not on the side because if it were on the side, the pen then be longer than the tablet, making it a little harder to carry around. It would be nice if the pen loop were not on the same side as the mini-USB port, because it makes it so you can’t lay the pen flat across the tablet when the tablet is connected. The fabric pen loop is sturdy and the pen fits well (in some tablets, the loop is too tight-fitting). The strips go along the full length of the part that fits on the table the footprint goes beyond that with the sides curving upward. Most tablets have four rubber squares, so this is more generous with the amount of rubber. The bottom has two long, narrow rubber strips to stop sliding. I have no evidence that these oils cause any harm, but I think if they build it up it could cause slickness. It did pick up some fingerprints, so I suggest keeping hands off it or wearing a glove to keep the oils from your hands off it. The active area is bounded by small rectangles. There’s a soft pen loop attached to the upper right of the device. The surface is pretty smooth but has some matte finish. They’re not hard to press, but have a bit of firmness, which might stop you from pressing them by accident. The tablet has ten physical programmable buttons on top. You connect the USB to your computer and the mini USB to the tablet. The Ugee has a heft to it it’s not flimsy or lightweight.
