Veikk Voila L Pen Tablet review: budget drawing tablet is an attractive choice [Ed: GNU/Linux compatible]
The Veikk Voila L Pen Tablet from new kids on the block Veikk is a versatile, affordable drawing tablet that’s worth buying even if for only occasional use. It comes in cheaper than its rival the Huion Inspiroy Ink H320 and its rugged and simple design and inbuilt dial make it very simple to use out of the box. It’s supplied with different adaptors, allowing it to plug into phones, tablets and laptops and its pressure sensitivity is brilliant, especially for a sub-$50 tablet.
