I bought the Daylight Wafer to replace my Huion when the connector started going wonky, and it died pretty prematurely - NOT happy about that, considering its price tag. I hope others have had better luck. So, now I'm back to using my Huion, because at least I can rig the connector to work, unlike the wafer.
I used an Artograph ages ago and it lasted forever- I gave it away eventually because I wanted a thinner (wafer) pad, and also a bigger one. But, I'm realizing the wafers just have issues with breaking connections - they just seem a little too fragile. I suspect that if the Artograph surface is large enough (like, not the 9x12 version), the height of it won't matter as much because more of your arm is on the surface? The one that Michael suggested also seems thinner than the dinosaur I used to have.
