Veikk sent us an S640 pen tablet for testing. We did some quick doodle and calligraphy with the low-cost (currently $26 on Amazon ; $28 on Gearbest) pen tablet:
The S640 is light-weight and portable. It is the thinnest I've ever tried. At first I wished the S640 comes with some shortcut buttons, but now paring it with a bluetooth keyboard I don't really need them on the tablet itself.
How portable?
The S640 is very thin. See it for yourself:
I like the Huion H420 for being able to have its cable unplugged. But mine is not functioning after a year because of rusting metal for the battery compartment. :( The new Veikk S640 is battery-less so no worry for replacing battery and of course rusting metal is never an issue.
Low-Cost pen tablet for art education
Schools on a low budget should consider picking up such low-cost tablets for their digital art education. Digital calligraphy is big and we should further develop our tradition in the new era.
來一起參與書法革命
硬筆的藝術性比毛筆差，因為筆觸變化沒那麼大。但現在電子筆透過軟件，藝術性變得媲美甚至超越毛筆。
學校請考慮數位書法（大陸叫‘數字書法’）教學啊！我們辦學，是為準備孩子應付未來30年的挑戰。現在電子產品越來越流行，電子書法必然會發展出來的。未來的人會更多時間用電子筆，就像現代人用硬筆多於毛筆一樣。來，讓我們一起參與這場書法革命！

Without pen tilt sensing, it's less than ideal when you make the strokes.
