Cheap Drawing Tablet?

I'm looking to buy a drawing tablet so I can start doing legitimate digital art. My budget is $60. I've heard this is very good for the price, any other suggestions?
I may get a higher end one after this but for the moment I'd like to keep it below 60

I have no experience with that particular model, but I have no complaints with my Huion-branded tablet. It's accurate, does exactly what it needs to do, and was 1/3 the price of an equivalent Wacom of equal size.

I'd say go for it.

If you want ultra cheap you can go for a Wacom Bamboo Pen but those won't last you more than a year. I also believe they might be discontinued at this point. I suggest an Intuos Pen CTL-480 which is the one I'm using. Shouldn't cost you more than 70 EUR if I'm not mistaken

The monoprice tablets look funky, they smell like concentrated dollar-store-made-in-China stank when you first get them, and they work... really well.
Do not spring for the humongous one unless you typically draw on a huge expansive space normally. But, they're good.

I've used wacom/intuos and huion (hiuon? however you spell it) and the Monoprice tablet is pretty on par with the wacom. The pressure sensitivity is great. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles like the wacom brand will, but if we're being honest here, they are just fluff. Monoprice tablets work good for a singular purpose: Drawing on a digital tablet.

Cool! It makes life so much easier.

If you still haven't decided on a program, Krita is pretty good and also free. You can also use imported PS brushes

Another good program is paint tool sai, but thats if you want to spend $60 on a program, and also I heard fire alpaca is good too and I think free.

I've yet to really find any real limitations of Krita yet, but my digital art is still in it's learning stages. Since you already have PS, it's not a big deal. I also have GIMP and Paint, but I've honestly not used them.

I like using gimp for editing pcitures because of how utilitarian it is but I don't know how good it is for drawing.
Paint, however, is the greatest art program ever created and it will hold that title for the entirety of time

I've heard, the programs just sit there for the time being. (I'm talking about Paint.net)

I do use MSPaint for quick resizing though. I still haven't quite figured that out in Krita yet.
