Which Graphic Tablet to use in Blender

Hello,

has someone experience with graphic tablets for blender? 

I just googled a lot of tablets but most of them seem to have problems working correctly in blender.

Any recommendations with a good working tablet? I want to use it mostly for texturing and a bit sculpting.

    I'm using One by Wacom and totally happy with it. It's cheap and capable.

    I use the Wacom Intuos, pretty cheap for a graphics tablet, great starting tablet and seems to work just fine in Blender.

    graphic tablet is actually required if you are serious about 3D sculpting and  texturing  . Try it for yourself with mouse and you'll see how difficult is to get any good results.

    Problem is that with mouse you don't have that pressure sensitivity that you need.

    As for myself I'm highly satisfied with XP-Pen Deco Pro S : https://www.xp-pen.com/product/432.html  . It's a little bit expensive but totally worth it. But any other tablet will do just fine.

    Any drawing tablet should be fine for blender, but one thing you can think over is with or without screen.

    I own both a Wacom Intuos and a Cintiq 16, and really either one is perfectly usable for drawing, sculpting, or modeling in blender.

    A tablet with screen is nice, allows you to draw directly on the screen, More natural, intuitive and accurate.

    If you're on a budget, then a tablet without a screen like an Intuos is probably your best bet.
