Hey guys I am relatively new to animating. I really want to get a "graphic" tablet but the thing is I don't want to sped much money... at all like 30 to maximum 80$. So I looked at a couple of tablets and I saw these little guys.

1.Trust Flex Design Tablet
2.Genius EasyPen i405X
3.Genius MousePen i608X

Could you advice me if any one of them is worth the money? What is the difference between cheap and expensive tablets. As far as I know the difference is the durability, sensitivity and the size of the thing.

NOTE! I do not care about the size of the tablet, also sensitivity is not a big issue for me!

Well the main difference between a good and a cheap tablet is the pressure points and the durability. With a more expensive tablet comes better quality, more pressure points mean more ease to draw.
I have had a bamboo for a while now but i had to let it go for a while as i am gonna buy an intuos soon enough.. But since i dont have it i have had to use an old cheap tablet with no brand or anything and it simply doesnt feel the same, The pen is atleast twice the weight, it also uses batteries, it is less confortable and overall i am not able to pull off a good trace as easy as i could before.
I recommend you to look at the reviews on said tablets.
On the first one nobody seems to ever buy it, it has 1 / 5 stars. The review makes it look as a tablet that probably is of almost no use, and i dont think the flex part of it is of any help, more like it can just make it simpler and worse.
The second has better reviews overall but in my opinion it looks to have a heavy pen due to the use of batteries and a small working area that might not be essential.the last
the last one i havent found reviews of, but it seems to be the same as the second one.. but with a mouse??... wut..

Well thats as much as i can tell. If it was something for me i would rely on a better known brand like wacom, Search for reviews on those tablets and judge for yourself..
Reffer to this video for some other info :3

I disagree on the 1st one. I read at least 10 reviews of it and everyone said that it was good and not hard to use. Also for 20$ what more could you possibly want !? I am getting a cheap one so I could see what's the feeling of drawing with a tablet. Also the pen on the first one isn't heavy which is nice.

I recommend Wacom because I haven't had any issues with their products in years.

I reccomend a tablet that doesn't break when a deadline is nearing

Haha, holy shit dude.

Well, just remember that if you're planning to buy a tablet, please don't just use it for stickfigures.

Don't worry. Those tablets always seem to self-repair when the deadline passes.

Still very unreliable though.

lf you are planning to use it for stickfigures only, then a CDR-King will do XD
l own one and it's awesome

Nah not just for stick figures and the reason I want to buy a cheap tablet is because I just want to see how the feeling is, if I like it and get used to it I will buy Wacom or Bamboo for sure.

you said a max of $80. My first tablet was $70 and it was pretty good. Tablets take a while to get used to so don't get discouraged if you get one and you suck worse with a tablet than you did with a mouse.
