Tried a super cheap drawing tablet versus my trusted screen tablet and wow what a difference

So I picked up a no-name tablet from Amazon for $40 to use on the go. I figured it would be fine for quick sketches but the cursor lagged like crazy. My old Huion screen tablet took me 3 years to save up $300 for and it tracks my pen instantly. The cheap one had so much parallax I kept missing my lines. After 2 days I went back to my screen tablet and finished that character piece in under an hour. Has anyone else regretted buying a budget tablet just to save money?

Right? "Pen tracking instantly" is something I thought was just marketing hype until I went from a $30 stylus to a real tablet. Now I can't even look at a cheap one without getting secondhand frustration. Guess my wallet and my patience just can't be friends.

Bought a $50 tablet once and returned it the same week, the lag was unbearable.
