Smart chip stylus for Artist 12 (2nd Gen)
We have designed a smart chip that will dramatically upgrade the performance and structure of our stylus, enabling it to run like an artificial brain and deliver the most true-to-life experience possible. With this tiny new chip, stylus technology has never felt more natural and your creativity can be fully unleashed.

More sensitive
The new X3 smart chip accurately processes electromagnetic signals by encoding them into digital data. This change increases 10-fold* the sensitivity of the initial activation force (IAF to under three grams*), so your artwork can be produced with a featherlight stroke.

I absolutely love it! Feels so good, I really enjoy using it. The quick keys are very useful and convenient. Highly recommended!
Awesome Tablet! I originally got a Huion but that screen had a light spot and it just would not work with my Mac mini M1, so had to return.
This XP Pen tablets drive connected so easily with my Mac and is working perfectly. The build quality on it is much better too. The rubber sides is a huge plus. If your a Mac user save yourself the headache and buy XP Pen!

Se comprate la tavola grafica pensando di collegarla con il vostro telefono sbagliate. Sono pochi i modelli compatibili. Leggete non so dov’ perche io nn l’ho trovata la lista dei smartphone compatibili. Ve lo anticipo sono una decina. Dovete comprare un cavo USB tipe c 3.1 costano un bel po’. In pi i telefoni compatibili devono avere l’attacco del caricatore USB c 3.1. detto questo un’ottima tavola grafica ed ottima penna. Se siete alle prime armi o semipro la migliore. Spero di essere stato di aiuto.

I have been doing digital art for a little while now but on my iPad. I was very excited to try out this XP pen Artist screened drawing tablet.
It comes very well presented in its own box with protectors in place. At first, I was intimidated by all the cables and where they go but when I got down to the cables it was very simple to set up. I have a 5-year-old windows 10 desktop pc and it runs just fine.
With the pack, you can download some free software to get you started but as I got Affinity I decided to use that.
The setting up of the tablet and pen was simple enough and got them lined up fine by following the online instructions which are on the XP Pen website.
In all honesty, I wasn’t sure how I would get on with not being able to take the tablet anywhere to just draw, but I have it set up on my desk and I have been converted. The added bonus of not having to charge up the pen is great is a plus for me too.
Overall a nice starter tablet to get into the world of digital art, and in a few years, I know for sure I will get myself a larger-screened one.

Its looks don’t disappoint. Sleek, stylish, slim and shiny. Mine has a blue rubber trim and four foot pads, so good stability on a slippery marble counter top.
It’s my first art tablet so I cannot compare previous versions to this 2nd Gen one. I will say that this is not a standalone piece of kit, you do need a computer or laptop to plug it into.
Screen is compact, quite small actually when held up against my usual A4/A3 paper mediums but I am adjusting to the change. The top brightness setting also has a little less up light than I thought but hey, I’m comparing it to the custom made light box I use, and these are in no way the same ‘tech animals’.
The stylus (pen) accompanying the tablet runs on a smart chip and is battery-free. It feels balanced in the hand and its settings are customisable — still working those out. The stylus nib responds well and as I see very little gap between the LED drawing surface and business end of the pen, line strokes appear immediately and are accurate to my movement. Sensitivity is great, varying pressure lets me create the lightest strokes through to bold, thick marks. There’s also plenty of spare pen nibs to go at, so happy days.
I like the idea of the customisable short-cut keys on the side of the tablet and feel these will be great time savers once I settle on the functions I want to use most.
The tablet’s matt surface protector gives the pen nice traction across the screen, although I wonder if it is also muting the colours a touch. However, the various settings all seem to work pretty seamlessly on my laptop’s Windows 10 operating system.
Early days, lots to learn but first impressions are that this is an excellent entry point tablet that I know I will give me hours of artistic fun and creative exploration.

Sensitivity is great, varying pressure lets me create the lightest strokes through to bold, thick marks. There’s also plenty of spare pen nibs to go at, so happy days.
I like the idea of the customisable short-cut keys on the side of the tablet and feel these will be great time savers once I settle on the functions I want to use most.
The tablet’s matt surface protector gives the pen nice traction across the screen, although I wonder if it is also muting the colours a touch. However, the various settings all seem to work pretty seamlessly on my laptop’s Windows 10 operating system.
Early days, lots to learn but first impressions are that this is an excellent entry point tablet that I know I will give me hours of artistic fun and creative exploration.
I found this tablet to be really high resolution both in display and in pen sensitivity so not only could I see clearly what I was drawing, I was confident the pen strokes went where I wanted them.
The brightness can be adjusted on the right hand buttons on the tablet, next to the power on/off button.
Included in the pack are spare tips for the pen, and an artist’s glove. The tablet does not pick up your fingers, only the pen which avoids accidental strokes.
I found the drawing tablet really easy to use and I produced fairly good results despite not drawing in a long while.
