Here we find remapping options for the shortcut keys that effectively make them macro keys on a keyboard, for example. Once installed, it would only show working options if the tablet is connected and powered on. The install process is simple, the program takes 31 MB of space, and runs light on system resources too.

The Veikk drivers for Windows are over an year old at this point but that in itself is a non-issue given the functionality is established entirely. Veikk recommends removing all other graphics/drawing tablet drivers off your system first, and I found the generic Windows drivers did not cause any issues. The Veikk website can be occasionally frustrating to navigate given the menu header bar is aggressive in coming down and covering options below, so just go directly to the downloads page linked here and type VK1200 to get the relevant drivers for your OS.

Veikk suggests using an AC mains to USB adapter but does not provide one in the box, and I found using two standard USB 3.2 Gen 1 (USB 3.0) ports on my laptop/PC to easily suffice. You could get away with the black-colored USB Type-A cable alone but if you notice the tablet not responding properly-the display may turn off although you can still use it as a blind pad-then you will need to use the red USB connector on the daisy-chained cable too. Both cables have to be plugged in to get the tablet running, with the HDMI cable providing the display signal and the USB cable for data and power. There is a status indicator LED integrated into the power button which turns blue when the tablet is powered on and connected. Alongside are brightness up/down switches and a power button. The stock cables are a perfect fit with the housing going in snugly and having the Veikk logo facing upward for additional-but-subtle branding. On the right side of the tablet is where you will see the expected Type-C and micro HDMI ports for the provided cables, and these are placed in deep insets making it hard to judge compatibility with aftermarket cables. There's an anti-glare film pre-applied over the active area that I recommend keeping on since it will help cut down on reflections more so that removing it helping with pen pressure or display contrast. Indeed, the max brightness (230 cd/m²), contrast ratio (700:1), and the 25 ms response time are not going to win any awards, but are plenty fine in my books. Veikk has a 1920x1080 resolution IPS display here in the VK1200, which is very likely a common part shared by many other such products. I would have rather seen this be a touch pad oriented vertically, but I get that most people would rather take the smaller footprint.

These buttons are effectively shortcut keys that use low profile tactile switches and are split into two sets of three each separated by a Veikk-branded spacer. This compact nature is primarily the result of much smaller bezels, with the left side hosting extra buttons before we get to the active area itself that takes up 256.3 x144.2 mm of space for the promised 11.6' (~285 mm) diagonal display size here. Having used another 11.6' graphics tablet for weeks now, I was pleasantly surprised at how small the Veikk Studio VK1200 is! The overall dimensions are 318 (L) x 189 (W) x 12 (H) mm, and the entire thing is also built very well owing to the use of a metal casing. We also get plenty of replacement pen nibs as well as a nib extraction tool itself.

There is also a branded microfiber cloth to help clean the display, paperwork in the form of a driver download reminder and a quick start guide (full product manual available online here). I appreciate Veikk providing two pens in matching pen cases, and this alone makes the VK1200 stand out from its contemporaries. A single drawing glove is found on top, and the other accessories are placed in the compartment below neatly inside a plastic blister inlay. Opening the box, we see a foam liner on the inside of the lid to add further protection to the tablet that is placed inside a wax paper wrap. A look from the sides reveals a two-piece construction with the top lid held in place via two large seals, and product specs are found on the back. On the front is the Veikk logo in a multi-color version, and then we see a render of the tablet itself with the product name at the bottom. The Veikk Studio VK1200 tablet ships in a sturdy, thick cardboard box that employs a white base allowing the design to contrast better against.
