If you're like me and turned off by the ridiculous price of Wacom Intuos Pro pen tablets and cannot stand the cheap build quality of the entry level range of Wacom pen tablets, then this is the pen tablet for you. Show Pros: - Top notch build quality - Award-winning design (absolutely love the spinning dial) - Large active work area (compared to Wacom equivalent) - Pen is the same design/feel as the Wacom Pro Pen/2. Cons: - Software is not as clean as Wacom. The Mac software runs as an app, rather than as a service in the background. - Software takes up space in the dock. (if someone knows a way to hide it from the dock, let me know) - The touchpad in the spinning dial is a bit of a hit-and-miss. Especially with the taps. - Pen holder is not as convenient as the Wacom counterpart. You can only stand it up in the holder. 2 people found this helpful Report Reviewed in Australia on 15 September 2022 Size Name: MediumVerified Purchase Awesome value fast delivery Reviewed in Australia on 15 May 2021 Size Name: SmallVerified Purchase A very good value tablet for a fraction of a price compared to Wacom tablets. Comes with many great features including the dial and shortcuts that boosts productivity, as well as the massive workable drawing size (and that was just the small model which is more than enough for me!). The pen also works well with pressure sensitivity, tilt, accuracy, etc. However, only reason why I'm not able to give it a perfect score is because I've been recently experiencing hardware issues with my tablet of 10 months. For the past fre weeks I've been having to move and pull my cable around in weird positions, just to get my tablet connected every few minutes which gets really inconvenient. XP-PEN Support was swift to help me out with the issue and sending out a replacement soon... hopefully the replacement won't have the same issues! Reviewed in Australia on 26 February 2021 Size Name: MediumVerified Purchase I was a bit worried about buying a drawing tablet without a screen, but it's actually a really good experience thanks to the quality of the tablet, everything is fast and smooth and you see the cursor on the screen as you hover over with the pen. The build is fantastic, it's well packed. There is really no complaints, the pen was a bit stuck in its protective house and I had trouble getting it out, but that's such a small thing.

Reviewed in Mexico on 1 September 2023 Size Name: SmallVerified Purchase Me gusta mucho, es muy amplia, cómoda y de buen diseño y manufactura. Sigo usando la puntilla con la que vino. 5.0 out of 5 stars Product : A+ Customer services : S+ Reviewed in Canada on 7 May 2021 Size Name: MediumVerified Purchase This thing is amazing! It's my first experience drawing on a tablet and I absolutely love it! The knob and shortcut buttons are insanely useful. I managed to have all the shortcuts I need on the tablet, so I can discard the keyboard when I draw. The only time I need keyboard is when I need to write words. I use it mainly with Krita and it works flawlessly. The pressure is sensitive and the tablet can record the pen hovering over it on a generous distance, making it very useful to see where you're at on the canvas without drawing. The nibs are pretty sturdy, and you can get 50 of them for less than 20$. The customer service is on point. I had a small issue with the one I bought and I brought my concern to the support team. They asked a couple questions and then sent me info on how to ship my tablet back. As soon as I gave the tracking number they shipped a new one, and it arrived 4 days later. The person I dealt with was friendly and helpful. Truly an amazing experience. The thing that surprise me the most is the price for all of this. Maybe its me that's inexperienced with tablets in general, but jeez man it's cheap for what you get. When I was shopping for tablets I chose this one because it had features similar to the Wacom Intuos Pro but it was much less expensive, and I really not regret my choice 2 people found this helpful Report 4.0 out of 5 stars good price and tablet, its best for beginner Reviewed in Singapore on 22 August 2021 Size Name: MediumVerified Purchase there is no dislike so far. 5.0 out of 5 stars Great Tablet! Even better Customer Service! Reviewed in the United States on 13 October 2023 Size Name: SmallVerified Purchase I initially purchased this back in July for my bday. I was super exited because of all the functionality of the quick keys. It worked great at first but then the pen buttons didn’t work at all which was SO inconvenient because I use this as my mouse for work (I’m a UX Designer). Anyway, I was going to return it and just go back to a simple Wacom tablet but it was past the 30 days so I decided I’d just deal with it. But I found myself not using it at all because not have the right click on my pen was so annoying. I finally decided to reach out to their customer service. Unfortunately you can only email them but don’t worry, they answer SO quick. Like within an hour and sometimes quicker for a good back and forth. Anyway, they had me send detail of what was not working and I tested my tablet and pen using some of their troubleshooting software. After doing that and sending a video they saw my pen was defective and sent me a new one free of charge! The new one works perfectly and I LOVE this tablet. It’s the perfect size, I love having so many buttons to customize. It helps with my workflow since I don’t even have to use my keyboard when making designs. And the pen buttons (now that they work) are perfect. I recommend trying this tablet out if you’re iffy and just know that customer service will make it right if you’re having any technical issues. 4.0 out of 5 stars Update: Had to return and replace because of a broken USB C connection. Reviewed in Canada on 1 July 2020 Size Name: MediumVerified Purchase Update 2: I had to return my second unit for the same issue as the first one. USB-C seems to break very easily. I love the design of this tablet. It feels good. But the broken USB connection is a problem. I had to hold it in place with a safty pin, after the USB-C connector started lossing connection. Fix this issue, and you will have a winning tablet. The tactile feel of this one is nice. But it needs a wireless connection. A few days after I wrote this review. the USB C connection on the tablet base stopped functioning. It would disconnect if I tapped the base of the tablet. Amazon did give me a refund and I returned the product and bought a replacement unit of the same make. If it wasn't for this one issue. I would still rank this tablet very highly, as it works really well. Original review: Overall, I am impressed with what I bought. I am on a budget, and I cannot afford a Wacom Intous, so I decided to go with one of these non-Wacom branded tablets. The XP-Pen Deco Pro uses pen technology licensed from Wacom. This is comparable to older Wacom 3 tablets. Which is a tablet that I used before this one. The pen feels like my older Wacom 3 pen, minus the eraser. It does not require a battery. But the XP-Pen Deco Pro has a higher DPi and more levels of pen sensitivity. It feels very smooth. The tablet base has a clean look to it, and a smooth surface. The 8 express keys are nice. I like the touch wheel. It is a good build quality. One issue I have is with the drivers. I use Linux mint, and it is a bit annoying to start the driver with a terminal sudo command. Also, I have to keep the terminal running in the background. But, these are beta drivers, and they do work. It would also be nice if I could hotkey to different screens using the express keys. I have a multi monitor set it, and have to switch monitors using the GUI. The Linux Wacom drivers have a screen switch hot key. But, it is nice to see driver progress on Linux. I do all my artwork in opensorce, as well as animation. I was worried about Linux driver support. Good work XP-Pen team. I have not used this pen in Windows yet, Nor have I tried it with my android tablet. This is a good low cost alternative. If you prefer drawing while looking at your screen. This tablet doesn;t have the feature of an Intous Pro. But it is still excellent for entry level artists and people on a budget. The drawing surface is smaller than my old wacom 3, but this one does feel much smoother and nice sensitivity and some tilt functionality. Is XPXPPen Deco Pro: One-minute review It's a steep learning curve if you're not used to working with digital art software or have historically used pen displays, but it's great if you want something a little more affordable that doesn't strain your neck as much.
