Drawing Tablet XPPen G430S OSU, Graphic Drawing Tablet with 8192 Levels Pressure Battery-Free Stylus, 4 x 3 inch Ultrathin, for OSU Game, Online Teaching Compatible with Window/Mac Black

I had no idea if this would work for the application I had intended it for. That is, being a mechanical designer, sometimes advantageous to mark something up on screen by hand in a natural fashion. As it turns out, it worked perfectly and continues to do so no matter what application I use it with. You can even use it as an extremely precise mouse if you want to, hovering the stylus over the pad. It’s small enough at 4 x 6“, to easily get stashed somewhere when you’re not using it and not have it take up half an acre of desk space. And I really like the little things that went into the design and function such as it knows immediately when you pull the stylist out and self activates ready to use. I also really like the fact that it comes with probably half a dozen stylist tips doesn’t use those tiny quadruple-A batteries that are in some Bluetooth stylus pens, and has all kinds of customizable function buttons and so forth that I could probably burn more time than I care to consider tailoring them if I want to. If like me, and you don’t need a full a size or bigger surface to draw on, this is ideal. It has an app interface that allows you to customize all different kinds of things, including stylus, pressure and angle, and on, and on and on, and probably most important of all at least for me it works, and it works well. I didn’t have to break the bank getting something bigger or more than I needed, and was able to blindly pick and win the lottery for exactly what I need. Probably the most difficult thing from starting out and it’s normal I expect, is tailoring the sensitivity and so forth to your writing style. Hand position, elevation of the stylus on the pad, stylus angle and pressure. It is extremely sensitive, which I think is fantastic, but it will take a little bit of getting used to and adjusting, so you’re not over or under correcting. Zero regrets: I should’ve gotten something like this years ago.

Works perfectly. The pen is responsive and feels smooth. The tabs on the top of the tablet are convenient and don't interfere with the writing surface. The only bummer for me is the cord. I wish I had purchased a wireless drawing tablet. Though the cord is long enough and fits well, it gets in my way. It's a personal preference and doesn't diminish the product's value.

The product itself is great, I personally was not too happy with the way my shipping was handled, it was in bubble wrap from USPS and the box itself was smashed almost looked like someone stepped on it, but the product itself was unharmed and was not faulty in anyway. My first take away is upon unboxing the device there is a very thin screen film on it that says to keep it on while you test the product and if it is removed the product cannot be returned. I thought to myself, okay if I have to keep it on i will, until I decide if the product works for me. I downloaded the drivers using the quick guide setup and everything worked as expected. However, after testing just a few lines and dots, that thin screen film that came on it was so shredded up and ripped that I could not even continue to test the product to my expectations (the product claims 16k pressure levels) so I wanted to test this feature, but the film was preventing me from getting any proper strokes in as the pen was getting caught on it and messing things up. So end result, I removed the film, ultimately deciding that I liked the product enough but primarily I removed it so I can use it properly. Which I found out quickly that the 16k pressure levels was causing issues in other apps with pressure curves that are design for the commonly used 8k pressure levels. So as a beginner I was very confused getting my brushes to work right in drawing apps. Pair that with the concept that the buttons that are included on the tablet cannot be pressed or felt with by the brush, so every time you want to undo or zoom in you have to physically look down at the buttons and if its dark it is very hard to see them. Not only that, but the buttons don't feel large enough or sensitive enough, I found myself tapping the buttons either not enough times or too many times and accidently touching other apps on my screen trying to get them to activate. Eventually I found the buttons completely useless, and decided to return the product. I would recommend other products offered by XPPEN as there is sales often and many products are a better deal then buying this one. Such as shame as I believe this is one of there newer budget products. I feel like they went backwards and used the 16k pressure levels as a sale pitch for beginners. Check out other products first. This one is still decent but definitely not great. UPDATE: I did receive a refund balance when I dropped off my package, so I'm still not sure if that thin sheet of plastic paper is going to cause my refund to be canceled or not in the futute. I will be very glad if they change this for other buyers so they are not confused into thinking they are stuck with the product if the film is removed. Will update my review if things change, still a decent product.

This product is super helpful with my math assignments, especially with documents where I need to write on. The product is able to scroll click and maneuver just like a regular mouse, but when I go to right, it’s exceptionally good when applied pressure and writing as shown in the video. The buttons feel comfortable. The pen is sleek, but not too sleek so I can grip onto it. The sensitivity is just right it’s not too sensitive or hard to maneuver with the pen. There’s hardly ever any lag as I write and the design as well executed it allows me to write across the paper without getting off of the pad. If you’re thinking about getting this product for the same reason, I did I suggest going with this one it’s affordable and well worth your money.

very small

Es perfecta en cuanto a portabilidad, pequeña y ultra delgada para poder llevarla donde sea. Se recomienda instalar el driver de la página oficial ya que agrega funciones como la presión y además mejora la respuesta al movimiento. Se siente de muy buena calidad y el lapiz viene con muchas puntas (como 10)

Work with Microsoft Word flawlessly. I use this for Chinese text input. Way faster and accurate than using mouse.

سهل جدا وسلس بالتعامل، اعتقدت انه فقط للرسم لكن تبين انه يمكن استعماله للتحكم بالجهاز كامل، حيث انه اذا اردت التصفح يمكنني الاستغناء عن الماوس. و اعداداته سهلة وغير معقدة.

Happy for my girl
