5. Operating Instructions
5.1. Basic Usage
Once the tablet is connected and drivers are installed, you can begin using it with your preferred drawing software. Simply hold the stylus like a pen and draw on the tablet's active area. The cursor on your screen will follow the stylus's movement.
5.2. Customizing Hot Keys and Scroll Wheel
The UGEE driver software provides extensive customization options for the 8 shortcut keys and the mechanical scroll wheel. Open the UGEE Tablet Settings application (usually found in your system tray or applications folder) to:
- Assign different functions (e.g., keyboard shortcuts, mouse clicks, application launches) to each of the 8 hot keys.
- Configure the scroll wheel for various actions such as zooming, scrolling, or brush size adjustment.
- Adjust pen pressure sensitivity curves to match your drawing style.
- Calibrate the working area if needed.
5.3. Android Device Usage
When connected to an Android device, the M908 offers two distinct working area modes:
- Full Working Area: Utilizes the entire 10x6.25-inch tablet surface.
- Phone Mode (20:9 Aspect Ratio): Adapts the active area to a 2.8 x 6.25-inch section, optimized for the aspect ratio of most Android phones. This mode provides a more natural feel when drawing on a phone screen.
You can switch between these modes via the UGEE driver settings or by following instructions in the Android Quick Guide.

6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning the Tablet
To clean your UGEE M908 tablet, use a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn smudges, slightly dampen the cloth with water or a mild screen cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the tablet surface.
6.2. Replacing Stylus Nibs
Over time, the stylus nib may wear down. Replace it when you notice a change in drawing feel or performance.
- Use the included nib extractor tool to gently pull out the old nib from the stylus.
- Insert a new replacement nib firmly into the stylus until it clicks into place.
7. Troubleshooting
- No Pen Pressure: Ensure the UGEE driver is correctly installed and running. Check if your drawing software supports pen pressure and if it's enabled in the software settings. Restart your computer and the drawing application.
- Tablet Not Recognized: Verify that the USB cable is securely connected to both the tablet and your computer. Try a different USB port or a different USB cable. Reinstall the tablet drivers.
- Cursor Jumps or Lag: Ensure there are no strong electromagnetic interferences nearby. Check for conflicting drivers from other tablet devices. Update your graphics card drivers.
- Hot Keys Not Working: Open the UGEE Tablet Settings and ensure the hot keys are properly configured. Check if any other software is conflicting with the hot key assignments.
- Stylus Not Responding: Ensure the stylus is within the active area of the tablet. If the issue persists, try replacing the nib.
