It's a nice little tablet
Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2024
I have used Photoshop on Walcom tablets for years. I started doing video editing, and I found that I needed a little more control and wanted something with quick keys.
This little guy is great. The Bluetooth is a huge plus. I can just put the tablet away when not in use, and when I need it, it's ready to go! The quick keys work well on my M3 MacBook Pro and make editing the videos much quicker.
A couple of things, though:
1. You must have the software running for it to work. Especially if you want screen swapping and quick keys.
2. I needed to adjust the sensitivity, out of the box it was set a bit to "Hard" for my taste.
3. Read the instructions to pair; it's not as straightforward as I thought it would be. But it does take the accidentally unsparing out of the equation.
Overall, I would purchase XP Pen tablets again if I need another one or an upgrade.

Not For Professional Artists, But Great For Hobbyists & Beginners.🎨
Reviewed in Canada on November 2, 2022
This is a great tablet for aspiring new artists on a tight budget who are practicing their artistic skills. Don’t let it’s small size fool you. Bigger doesn’t mean better, and I was able to draw successfully on this tiny little tablet. As a professional artist, I started out with a tablet and pen, and even used it professionally in my early career as a Character Designer. Tablets haven’t changed much over the years, and this particular tablet met all of my expectations in response time and pressure sensitivity for thick and thin lines.
🌺QUALITY:
The overall quality of this tablet is ok. It’s not excellent and the pen feels a bit too light. I like the size of the pen so this isn’t an issue for me. I have an old tablet from 2004 that exceeds the quality of this tablet and I was expecting better materials for a tablet in 2022. There isn’t anything overly special about this tablet other than the shortcut keys.
✅WHAT I LIKE:
▪️I like the size of the tablet. It’s compact and doesn't take up much room at all on my desk. You would be surprised to learn that you don't need a big tablet to achieve your artistic goals.
▪️I like the additional shortcut buttons on the side of the tablet. It has the main buttons you would need while drawing such as zoom in, zoom out, undo, brush, colour selector, move, etc. My favorite out of all of them is the pen button shortcut that is setup to switch to your eraser and then back to your brush. I found myself using this a lot. With all of that said, you can customize your shortcuts to your liking, but I think they nailed all of the main ones you need.
▪️Once I got the tablet working properly for my workspace, the accuracy was spot on. There was no lag at all and pressure sensitivity was also accurate.
❌WHAT I DON’T LIKE:
▪️This is the first tablet I’ve owned where I’ve never got a pen holder with it. It’s a good way to misplace your pen, which will happen – trust me!
▪️You get 11 extra pen nibs in case you wear them down. I found this really nice to have but also made me worry and wonder why I’d need so many. Lol! I’ve drawn everyday for years, and rarely have I ever had to change my pen nibs. I guess it depends on how heavy handed you may be. The additional pen nibs is not a dislike, but it leads me to my next issue. Where am I going going to store them? Usually you can place your additional pen nibs hidden within the pen holder, but since you don't get a pen holder, they currently reside in a non resealable plastic baggy. These are destined to get lost or misplaced in my mysterious Bermuda Triangle drawer. Things go in there, never to be seen again!🫣
🦋SETUP:
I hooked the XP-Pen tablet up to my PC. From there I needed to add the driver because without it, you won’t get the pressure sensitivity feature. The process was easy, you simply go to their website, download the driver, reboot your computer, and boom, you’re ready to go. This didn’t come without some problems though. For the first 10 minutes, the tablet decided to do it’s own thing and as I was scribbling, it would draw random straight lines. It wouldn’t do thick and thin lines and sometimes it wouldn’t even draw at all. I walked away from my computer to feed the dog, and when I came back the tablet was magically working. Not sure how it fixed itself, but it was ready for me to do a test run. I then noticed the drivers interfered with my Wacom tablet drivers. This isn’t totally unexpected though, and I had a feeling this could be an issue. For the time being, I had to put my professional drawing tablet aside. This could’ve been the weird issue from the get go. Also, when I started to draw circles, they became ovals. I needed to enter the xpen’s program to align the tablet space to my screen space. Depending on your situation you may need to customize as well. I have triple monitors, so obviously I had to fix this to my personal setup.
🎨OVERALL:
This tablet is a great option if you’re a 3D artist and you’re just pushing and pulling to sculpt your design. I don’t recommend this to someone who is doing paid professional 2D work that requires precision and speed. Yes, I used tablets as a professional over 15 years ago, but that was a different time. Using this tablet reminded me why I needed to upgrade and why the studio HAD to switch to drawing screens. Speed being the main factor; you cannot get precision clean lines on the first try. You’ll be drawing and deleting for a few minutes before achieving the perfect line.
If you’re planning on being a professional 2D illustrator/artist, you’ll want something more advanced that has a drawing screen. Get the best possible drawing tablet you can afford. I’ve never heard of XP-Pen before and I noticed they sell drawing tablets with the screen!!! 😱 I’m not sure the quality is compatible to a higher end brand that I own, but the price of these drawing screens are certainly appealing and they have piqued my curiosity and interest as a professional. If I was a young student, I think this is the direction I would go. After being spoiled with a cintiq for over a decade, I now remember why I can never go back to a screenless tablet like this one. If you’ve NEVER had the luxury of drawing on a screen, you won’t notice or miss anything. Which is why this tablet will be enjoyed by my young son. This will encourage his love to film, edit videos, and add the occasional silly drawings he enjoys creating as a kid. It’s perfect for hobbyists young and old.
