    I really couldn’t justify paying for a Wacom tablet with the spec this Deco-3 has. So I took a gamble on this following reading numerous reviews and watching Youtube videos. The earlier versions of this tablet were not up to scratch according to many, but this model is everything! Easily customisable, you can adapt to your work flow easily. The assignable wheel (and buttons) are something you will wonder how you’ve managed to function without before.

    The ONLY reasons it doesn’t get a 5star is:
    1) Literally straight out of the box light use has scratched the surface of the tablet. So you really need to work on the pressure settings as soon as possible before getting into some work.
    2) I love the fact that the blue tooth is so easy to set up, but with everyone working at home, it seems I was losing connection a bit, so I use the USB cable and haven’t had a misstep since.

    For the price I paid I really can’t complain. Packaged great, lots of spare nibs, tidy pen caddy, nice weight and dynamics to the pen, all round very nice bit of kit.

    This tablet is the best value, by far, of any tablet that I’ve previously owned or used. The convenience of being wireless combined with its long-lasting battery life is second-to-none. The writing surface is smooth and the pen nibs are long-lasting. It is very well built, slim and elegant. The pen stand is handy and so are the hot keys. It is made in Japan and you can tell by the quality of the finish and its performance.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThe function keys are nice, though it takes a bit of effort to understand the UI for them.

    My one issue with the device itself was that it was incredibly hard to have it recognised as a wireless device – I had to put it within 10cm of the received to get the connection set up… but once connected the range was nominal.

    Very good value.

    Important to note it DOES work with GIMP2.10 – but there is one issue that is not XP Pen’s fault: the Y-scaling in the drawing canvas may appear wrong, making the lower part of a drawing or image inaccessible. I believe this is in fact due to an issue with Windows 10 (I am using Windows 10 Home 64 bit, build 2004), specifically where large screens and custom DPI are used. (I have also seen reports of similar issues with GIMP and other tablets.) Having encountered the issue above, I eventually found that if I *physically disconnected” my external 4K TV running on an nVidia 1080 Ti the problem was solved. Monitor off does not work; changing the DPI scaling for the large display might work, but 100% (rather than my personal setting of 225% for text) did not fully resolve the issue for me.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersCame in good time. Box and packaging superb. The tablet is excellent, used it a lot already, restoring old photos, a bit of gentle colourisation. Best of both worlds with bluetooth and a cable connection. both work as described, and straight from the box onto Win8. Cable plenty long enough, and more, to reach either side of your machine for whichever is most convenient USB port. Very sleek and thin, but ruggedly sturdy, comfortable to use even if not on a flat surface like a table. Pen and holder, design is impressive too. Only thing to watch for, the bluetooth dongle is small and very easy to lose, fits in the end of the pen holder nice and tight, but don’t put it down anywhere else. Keep it either in your machine, or back in its holder. The tablet is sleek, smooth, a dream to work with. Had no idea it was so configurable for screen sizes, even to phones. Also can be used sideways, with facilty to use tablet upright, ‘portrait’ fashion if you wish, just set it to 90degs either way. I’ve come to this from a smaller Trust tablet, and I have to admit most impressed. In many ways, even better than I thought it would be. A lot of thought and design has gone into this, and seriously, I cannot fault it. A class product.

    It’s pretty good for its price. The shortcut keys are very useful, just that it’s a little loud when you click on them in a quiet room. I like the strap on the tablet that holds the pen. Haven’t really been using the wireless feature because it seems to not connect very well after a few hours of using it (Only tried using for a long period of time once so far and it could be issues with my laptop running on low battery)

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersBeautiful product, but can’t test it yet due to the malware included by the XP-Pen. This seems to be on purpose since the XP-Pen user manual is asking to close any antivirus software before installation from their flash drive. This is not a normal installation request. In the Autorun.inf file they enclosed a Trojan malware flagged by AVG as Agent-D. I had the malware removed to AVG Quarantine. The Agent-D is designed to download malware in the background, activate malware and erase own tracks. I don’r know what they want to achieve, secretly record their customers with a key logger? This is not the first report of of such XP-Pen malware and this is why I scanned the flash drive. This is Chinese product of an American company so they can be liable for infections under US law.
    6-5-20 Product update. Got it going today with a software download from the XP-Pen website, and product works very well. I run the download through the AVG virus scan and came up clean. Installed software contrary to manufacture’s instruction with the Antivirus on. Chinese software, so I felt I needed a lot of caution. After reboot, software worked to program the tablet. I isolated the Trojan Autorun.inf file from the flash drive and submitted for analysis to AVG. I suggest that Amazon will stop distribution until manufacturer proves that all infected software is recalled and replaced.

    Yo la uso para clases en linea. Me resulta muy til, evita los problemas de audio y enfoque que son comunes cuando se trabaja con un pizarrn. La ventaja son las aplicaciones disponibles para este tipo de dispositivos, prcticamente los alumnos tiene el pizarrn en su pantalla y al mismo tiempo las notas de la clase (las aplicaciones disponibles tienen la opcin de exportar las pantallas a un documento pdf).
    Como docente quiz estoy sub utilizndola, pero ha valido cada centavo, la considero una excelente compra.

    Una de las cosas que mas me gusta es que la tableta es inalmbrica y se conectar por medio de un modulo wireless usb, la batera dura bastante tiempo con el uso que le he dado que en realidad no es tan excesivo ni demandante.
    Lo intent conectar con un software llamado SmoothDraw pero no me funciono del todo bien, por lo que solo lo he utilizado whiteboard de Microsoft.
    Se me hace una excelente solucin para dar clases virtuales.
    En cuanto al dibujo, en realidad no puedo dar un punto de vista amplio por que no me dedico a dibujar de manera digital. Pero sin duda creo que funciona bien.

    Overall, I can say I’ve had issues in the past with the software for XP-Pen tablets, mainly due to Windows 10 being very fussy. So far, it doesn’t seem to have any issues, which is really nice. The software is really easy on the eyes, and simplistic to use and install.

    Tablet wise, I’m honestly impressed. The first thing I had noticed was the pen, it’s a very sturdy and nice feel to it, it doesn’t feel like a flimsy noisy plastic. (This is in comparison to the pen that would have come with Star03 V1.) I really enjoy the fact that the stand actually has a little tip remover made right into it, that’s a nice feature, if I do say so myself.

    Now, I can say, I’m REALLY enjoying the fact that the dial moves so smoothly, I squealed with literal joy when using it the first time. Very satisfying. The feel, although mildly gritty, does have the texture of almost a high quality paper. It’s a very natural, and comfortable feeling. It’s also a really good size, I believe. I’m excited to see how this holds up to consistent daily use. The Star03 V1 did well for durability, considering mine is 3 years old at this point. If anything, I’d recommend this to someone who is looking for a good quality tablet within a great price range. As someone who does a fair bit of art for a living, I’m hoping this holds up to my overall impression, and holds up as well as the Star 03 V1 did.

    Edit as of Jan 24th, 2022: Its been almost two years of consistently using this as my primary tablet, with considerable amount of use, and I can say. It’s held up it’s end of the bargain with absolute ease. I rarely use the wireless option that it has, mainly because my desk/drawing area rarely shifts/moves. But, I can say when I do use the wireless feature, I find there is a small big of lag to some degree, so it doesn’t feel *as* reliable as using it corded.

    I think though, at this point in time, really the only issues I have with it is software related, and its usually a quick fix. Often times I find the software doesn’t always recognize the tablet is still plugged in, which completely tanks any sort of pressure sensitivity, and so the tablet becomes essentially a glorified mouse until I exit out of the software, and whatever art program I’m using, and restart the software first, then art program. Although, I’m normally using a portable version of Photoshop, so that may be part of where my own issues lies, as I haven’t really noticed this happen much with Clip-studio. I can say though, that Photoshop settings will more or less ignore whatever you have set for the tablet, such as specific buttons/actions for the hotkeys. Or at least, that’s been my experience with it anyway. Otherwise, this is definitely a tablet worth trying, both for it’s quality, and it’s features.

    My cinque broke not too long ago, I didn’t used it much because of Wacoms terrible drivers and set up time.

    This tablet was so easy to use and set-up in comparison, I can’t stress enough how nice the wireless feature is it makes jumping on to draw so much easier.

    The drivers are also just work so much better.

    If you are a hobbyist or similar professional illustrator / digital artist without much space I can’t recommend this one enough.

    The wheel is actually really useful when you want to change brush sizes. The pen itself is a little lightweight compared to Wacoms but it is still really good quality and nice to use.

    I still think having a wireless tablet is definitely the best selling point this product as it only takes me 10 seconds to get started drawing compared to the 1 or 2 minutes time to find cables or something.

    When I first got this tablet back in May 2019 I found that its drivers weren’t working great on windows. I often had to restart Windows (10) to get it working and reinstall the drivers (I did remove my Wacom drivers and it was still happening).

    I was using my old damage Intuos for a while but eventually got tired of it misbehaving. There are no more driver problem with this tablet for anymore for me. Keep in mind there’s an off/on button underneath the tablet, I switch it off whenever I’m not using it which use to cause problems with it not being detected but I think the drivers have been updated since I first bought it.

    The tablet looks really nice and I like the placement of the red dial and buttons. You can customise the hotkeys for each program just like Wacom.

    What you don’t get is tilt and rotation functionality. These are used to mimic traditional media, so if you were to tilt a pencil to shade, etc. If you’ve had a lot of experience as a traditional artist you may want to look for a tablet that does support tilt and rotation. Keep in mind not every program supports it though so maybe look into that first too.

    All in all I think for 89 this is a great price for this tablet.

Altra piccola pecca che magari vi sar utile che funziona solo ed esclusivamente con il cavo proprietario, essendo il possessore di un MacBook Pro Touch Bar (con solo porte type C) ho provato a collegarla con un generico cavo type c- type c ma non lo riconosce, ho provato con un paio di cavi ed il problema rimane lo stesso, riconosce solo il cavo nella confezione, l’unica soluzione quindi un adattatore da usb A ad usb C.

    This is a decent size tablet forworking with graphics or digital writing based work.

    Whether you are interested in painting, drawing, digital handwriting (e-signatures etc). The tablet works for whatever you need it for.

    What I like generally, apart from the wireless/or wired use is the continuous updates from the company, even after two years! Considering they have released more pen tablets since this model, it’s a commitment to customers that regular or semi regular updates are received and there have been improvement as far as I could tell e.g. pen detection, wireless function, resolution sizes.

    If you are looking for a decent priced pen tablet that has regular updates I would suggest to buy or look at the other new products from the company, why pay more for the fancy expensive products from other companies when you can get same functionality from a cheaper and better value for money – like this one from XP-Pen.

    Update: their most recent/current software update is from Sept 03-2019.

    I work in 3d modeling and this tablet is everything I need, I don’t need touch of tilt functions. At first I had problems with the lack of click and hold for 3d navigation but it was quickly fixed with a driver update. The driver lets you assign per-program settings for the macros and the pen’s initial activation force is ridiculously low. The best part is forgetting about charging the pen and being wireless/wired. Amazing tablet!

    If you’re a beginner who wants all the bells and whistles of the higher priced (and over priced, imo) drawing tablets, if you want a hassle free, and I do mean hassle free set up, stop looking and buy this tablet. I’m telling you, you won’t be disappointed.

    I should also add that this tablet will work exceedingly well for intermediate as well as experienced users. It has everything you want and need. The only thing it lacks is the huge hit to your wallet and that’s a great thing!

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersComparada a una wacom esta es mas barata, mas grande, y tiene las mismas funciones, ademas de EXCELENTE servicio al cliente, puedes configurar los botones express por-aplicacion, ademas de que usa un dial mas preciso (con clics) que las otras wacom. Incluye funcin inalambrica y bateria intercambiable en caso de que tras el paso de los aos se descomponga.
    Literal lo unico que no tiene es un borrador fsico, siendo esta la unica desventaja, ya no la pienses tanto y solo compra esta.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI ordered this tablet at 13.01.19. and courier brought it at 18.01.19. Very, very fast shipping to Latvia! It’s my first graphic tablet ever. It came very well packaged and designe was nice. Tablet itself is pretty large, perfect for my 13.3″ laptop. It came with instructions, waranty, drawing glove and greeting card. Stylus has nice designe and handy pen holder, it came with USB memory, 8 replacement pen nibs and the pen is very comfortable to hold, it’s battery free and I love it! Program instalation was easy, I just downloaded the programm from their homapage wich was mentioned on the package and thats it! It works good on my Windows 10. Drawing itself on this tablet is nice, scroll option is handy (you can set more than 1 task to scroll button and you can switch it by using KL/KR mode switch), all buttons work and task setting is easy. Buttons are a bit loud and tablet gets scratched easily but it doesn’t affect my drawing expirience. For now as a beginner at digital drawing I’m using MediBang Paint Pro (free program), everything works great and I drew those 2 cherries in the added picture, my first drawing with this tablet. For the price and service it’s worth to buy it! I recomend this product and this seller! 🙂

    Worth the price!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersFantastic tablet, very happy with it, with its feel and its software. Is an excellent product very much recommended.

    I haven’t used much the wireless option so I won’t go into that, but if we were to compare with a Wacom tablet (3 or 4 times its price) I found 2 main differences:

    -No ‘pan/scroll’ feature like in the Wacom, but a ‘scroll wheel’ option. While limited in options (should at least allow for inverted scroll) it doesn’t affect its functionality.

    -Works with ‘duet’ app which allows iPads to be used as external screen. Wacom doesn’t recognise this screen but XP-PEN doesn’t have any problem, making it the ultimate combo for freelancers (my tests are on Mac only).

    Overall very pleased with the product. Hopefully they will add the pan/scroll option which could make the product flawless. I’ve also recently got an XP-PEN artist 12 and I am extremely happy with it.

    So long as you remember the traditional rules, it is super easy to install. Best product so far, beats any huion product I have seen or used. Costs the same as last huion product I had which was 1060plus. 1060plus relies on wires – wires for pens wires for pad wires your brain. I lasted two years as it reject wires so hard to work with. Comparing to x-pen huion feels coarse and un-fluent. As if for a novice no ever real desire for art but decided to take on art as a career randomly and chose digital at a bargain. X-pen respects the flow of an artist with the ease off pressure giving you a device like paper – wireless. No charging for the pen and the board charges and then disconnects from any shackles. It feels fluent and dynamic with a soft feel between sketch and screen. The pen on board felt a bit tough to start with but I got use to it after about half hour to an hour. It feels great and leaves you feeling like the artist that you remember. It is swift and pleasant to use especially as a temporary tablet then it is perfect. This one though I may just keep. I won’t no longer invest into huion as its quality is below acceptable. If you want to feel free and yet very much so involved with your creativity and your art…
    This tablet is the way to go.

    Thanks X-pen

    Great job team

    This is a very good product. Very easy to setup and use. I like the free of charge OpenCanvas 7 it came with. Otherwise, I would have to pay around $72 for it. The driver included with the package (came with a 4Gb USB memory stick) however, wasn’t the correct one for the Star06 and it didn’t work. Just go to their official site and download the driver for your operation system. Once installed, it worked well.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersMy old Wacom Intuos 3 died just before I had to leave for uni and I needed an affordable tablet fast and this one is amazing! You don’t see a scroll/slide/dial in new tablets which is sad because I completely fell in love with the slide in intuos 3. It made zooming so quick and easy! And after I managed to get the Star06 dial configured the tablet turned out to be everything that i wanted.
    My only complaint is that the dial was so hard to configure. I wanted it to be solely zoom in and out but it automatically only wanted to change my brush size and the window to mess with the settings was confusing and had absolutely no explanations or guides. But in the end I did manage to get it right (even if I had to change the shortcuts of my programs, although sadly photoshop doesn’t allow to put pg up and pg down as zooms) by setting all of the options to only be pg up and pg down.

    But that was the only negative I had, otherwise I would definitely buy this product again!

    no paper, pen, marker that costs a lot is not that you can not do this just because you do not have everything in one program so I decided to grab a graphic drawing but I started to draw graphics I can say that we have evolved and that I have managed to put on the “Sheet” what I have in mind. I chose this tablet because it is not very expensive nor cheap is a fair price for what the 8192 offers helped me enormously to draw the most perfect lines the 6 buttons 100% programmable buttons are like a 3 hand much easier than to use and the keyboard while drawing at least this is my opinion that everything is in one tablet and do not have to use the keyboard and mouse as to read dial is brilliant and beautiful at the same time very useful zoom to zoom and zoom cat and the brush even when sitting on social media use it as a scroll down and up the size of 254 159mm is more than necessary is not too big but neither will not feel the need for more.
    PROS
    -Very thin
    -Stylish

    -Wireless
    -Free Battery Pen
    -Very High Quality

Very simple installation with easy to follow instructions. The response is great in both wired and wireless and very smooth to use. Have been using it with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop with no issues. Much more reasonable price and no lack in quality compared to other products in this category.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersI intended to replace my very old, very basic Wacom tablet with a new medium-size Wacom Intuos. My husband, who likes a good buy, found this for me, and after researching reviews which were predominately positive, both on this Star 06 tablet and on XP-Pen in general, I decided to buy it instead of the Wacom. I’m very glad I did. No problems with installation (Windows 10) or performance. The only small hitch was that the screen which show pen pressure adjustment was totally different than the one in the manual that came with it, but finally I downloaded a revised manual which shows the correct screen. However, it does not actually tell you how to adjust the pen pressure; you have to play around with it. A more detailed explanation in the manual would be helpful.

    I’ve had it nearly 2 weeks and have used it in Photoshop and tried it out in an old version of Corel Painter. I think it works beautifully. It takes a bit of practice to use the express keys and the dial without having to think about it, and I haven’t remembered there’s an eraser button on the pen barrel; that’s all just a matter of using it more. The pen itself feels balanced and comfortable to use. I also like it being wireless, so I can move it right in front of my screen when using it and out of the way when not, without any additional cables snaking across my desk.

    In conclusion, a good-quality tablet that’s larger and with more features than the Wacom I was going to get, at less than half the price.

    I remember reading some other reviews that praised customer service, and I concur. I mistakenly thought that I did not get the 8 extra pen nibs that are included with the tablet, and after contacting XP-Pen, I was sent 50 nibs as compensation. Embarrassingly, the day after those nibs arrived, I found the 8 included nibs and let XP-Pen know that it was my error. However, I was very impressed with the speed with which XP-Pen addressed my original complaint.

The pen and tablet sensitivity is excellent and it’s really responsive. It connect to the computer really easily via Bluetooth and is a really solid connection and th battery life is great. I’ve used it for a number of work and personal projects involving heavy use of very detailed selections, layer adjustments and drawing and it has performed brilliantly. It is easily as good as Wacom tablets costing hundreds more. I have previously used a Wacom tablet and I do think this X-pen tablet is just as good if not better and such good value.

    Golden Review Award: 4 From Our UsersThis is my first Drawing tablet. And it’s super easy to use. And get used too. I am left handed and it works perfectly upside down. My own wish from this is that the glove that came with it was a little bigger. (But my hands are abnormally larger than average). If you’re wondering how hard this will be to set up. The tablet comes with a guide. All you have to do is plug the tablet into the pc and install the drivers from the USB key and you’re done.

    One more thing. This tablet comes with a 4gb USB key that you can use right after installing the drivers. So if you have any pictures you want to transport you can just store them all on the USB tablet. It comes with gloves that can be worn on the left or right hand. I love it! I would definitely buy a tablet from this company again.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersAfter feverishly researching Intuos Pro alternatives, the Star06 seemed the best choice. Half of the reason is the design looks simple yet elegant. The other half is the beautiful wheel. And it works great!!

    – If you’re someone who does a lot of zooming and brush size changing, the wheel function is a life-saver. Thanks to the fact that the keys lay on the side, access is convenient. Making workflow easier. It’s my most favorite part.
    -The other big plus is the giant-ass working area. 10×6 is no joke! Note which size is your Goldilocks. Honestly this size is an overkill for laptops 19″ under. For perspective, 10×6 is larger than an Intuos Pro Medium.
    -The pen and texture of the tablet surface feels natural to draw with. (A bonus because drawing on smooth tablets is somewhat anxiety-inducing).
    -It’s cordless! Charging does not take long and battery life is satisfactory. (But since you will be drawing on a flat surface, wireless function won’t matter much).
    -8192 pressure sensitivity does feel different. It’s convenient to get broad strokes but not important. (At least to a hobbyist like me).
    -3 status symbols. So that the tablet kindly informs you of its status, so you’re not cursing at it for suddenly dying.
    -Solid pen stand that is not often used. The pen fits snugly in the ribbon though.

    Unless you need tilt or touch support along with all these functions, there’s no need to get the pricey Intuos Pro. It works the same way.

    I used an Old Medium Intuos (CTH680) which had NONE of these features, yet this is $30 less expensive ($110-$80=$30). But more functions does not mean better drawings and some pros may prefer Intuos over this.

    On a side note, I used a Huion display tablet (comparable to Cintiq) that took up too much space. Thus the switch. If you’re looking to draw on screen, I recommend iPad Pro.

    These are the thoughts of an intermediate artist. Whether this tablet is easy to use for you may depend.
    The wheel and size are the key features of this tablet.
    *Note that a balanced SIZE is important!
    Despite that, this tablet is great to use. Happy Arting!

    La tableta es genial y viene con todo lo que est aqu anunciado. En lo personal, siento que recib ms de lo que pagu.
    Llevo cinco aos dibujando de manera digital y senta que ya era hora de actualizarme. Estaba algo desconfiada porque el precio es TRES VECES ms barato si lo comparo con otras marcas. Despus de buscar varias reseas me anim y la he comprado. No me arrepiento, ya quiero comenzar a trabajar con ella de manera ms seria.

    Pros:
    *Sensibilidad
    *Inalmbrica
    *Uso fcil
    *Personalizacin de todos los botones
    *Gran tamao
    *Textura en la superficie

    Contras: No he encontrado nada de momento. Actualizar mi resea si algo surge.

    La recomiendo bastante, tanto para principiantes como artistas experimentados.

    NOTAS IMPORTANTES:
    Si ya tenas una tableta instalada y compraste esta, es de suma IMPORTANCIA que quites todos los controladores de tu vieja tableta de dibujo. Si no lo haces vas a comenzar a experimentar varios problemas con los drivers de ambas.
    No conectes tu tableta hasta que hayas instalado los drivers desde la pgina (esto ltimo porque son la versin ms reciente).
    Debes reiniciar cada que tu computadora te lo pida para que la instalacin sea satisfactoria.

    My first drawing tablet and perfect for me, along with the price compared to Waccom ones.
    It is made of plastic, thus you will get that feel of breaking it if you apply too much pressure.
    Works perfectly fine so far and everything was smooth. The roller has small tic sounds for each turn, it will help you guide the required amount you need to make it zoom in or out (I use the roller for zooming in and out function, of course you can change it to whatever you want). All the keys are programmable or left blank.

    Golden Review Award: 40 From Our UsersIf you really want a Wacom tablet but can’t afford their ridiculous prices, look no further. This is an excellent, smart looking professional tablet for less than a third of the price of an equivalent Wacom. However, the things this tablet doesn’t include are pen tilt and touch functionality, but checking online, it seems most people don’t use these anyway.

    Installation was really simple, I made sure to uninstall any other tablet software, close all other programs and disable antivirus/firewall, as per the instructions and everything ran fine, both wired and wirelessly.

    After researching online, prior to purchasing, XP Pen are the only Wacom alternatives that have both batteryless pens and wireless functionality. The tablet is also very thin and lightweight, and it is the smallest you can buy with a 10×6 active area, so great if you have limited desk space.

    I actually use it as a mouse replacement for video editing in Premiere and After Effects and it’s a complete game changer, especially with a Logitech G13 instead of a traditional keyboard. Everything becomes a lot more fluid and precise. The tactile scroll wheel is really handy for this setup as you can use it like a mouse wheel. The only annoyance with it is that it takes three clicks for one scroll, so it’s not quite as precise as a mouse wheel, but hardly a deal breaker. [EDIT: Since the latest software updates, the scroll wheel now works as it should, one click of the wheel per scroll] You can also use one of the function buttons on the tablet to switch between wheel functions, such as zoom or increase brush size, which is also really handy. However, it would be nice to have an option to choose which functions to switch between instead of having to cycle through every one.

    As I use this with 3 monitors, you can set a button to cycle through the individual monitors and also a mode that covers all 3 on the tablet surface at once.

    I’ve also tried this in Photoshop and Illustrator and it works great with the pressure sensitivity and you can use the function keys for various actions, such as brush size, layer select, zoom and more.

    All in all, after much online research, I decided to go for this tablet as it seemed to offer the most for this price range – scroll wheel, wireless, batteryless pen and compact design.

    I cannot recommend this tablet enough, not just for digital artists, bit for those that want a mouse replacement to speed up and improve your workflow. The best Wacom alternative for under 100.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI’d give it 5 stars if I didn’t have to reinstall it every time I shut my computer down. It stays installed yes, but as I do a lot of drawing, but turn my computer off at night to let it rest, it comes up the next morning with the same glitch with the pressure. It stops recognizing there’s a such thing as clicking/sensitivity, serving instead as a more precise mouse aim.

    This is a great tablet! I bought this on a whim during prime day and it honestly was the best decision I made!
    It was very easy to install and set up. The settings for the tablet are easy to adjust depending on what you want. The drawing area is a very nice size, bigger than my previous tablets and therefore find it better to move around in. I found it very easy to get used to this tablet (but this obviously depends on the person what they have been used to using until now). I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a new tablet or even for their first tablet!

    It works perfectly and does everything just as described. The wireless feature is amazing – you can sit on your sofa and draw if you want, without any space restrictions. It responds very well so far and am very impressed with the pen pressure sensitivity feature.
    It was immediately recognised by Photoshop and the pen pressure feature worked instantly. It also works well with a variety of software for painting/sketching etc (although this is very dependant on the quality of the actual app you download).
    Initially I had a problem with the Wireless USB dongle, but the company sent me a new one and it works perfectly. The communication and customer service I received from XP-Pen was excellent.
    I am very satisfied with this purchase overall.

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersAfter using Wacom graphics tablets for almost 15 years, I thought I’d try something else, and I am glad I did. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with Wacom, but when I needed a new one, replacing my old one unfortunately was a bit out of my current budget. Luckily, there are few things I will miss.

    Compared to my old Intuos, this is lighter, wireless when you need it to be (though surely you get that with Wacom too these days? I’ve actually not checked), and it even has more levels of pressure sensitivity. The only thing I will miss is the angle sensor of the Wacom. I can live without it for now.

    This one is a great size, suitable for a relatively small desk, yet big enough that it doesn’t feel cramped. It has a handy jog wheel and definable buttons. The wheel defaults to zoom, which is just what I’d normally have used it for anyway, which is great. I think that with some tinkering, I’d be able to control brush angular tilt with it too, which could come in handy.

    The pen is light, sits perfectly in the hand, and comes with a solid stand that also doubles as a secret cache of extra pen nibs. I didn’t realise this until after making the video, so I didn’t show that bit.

    It comes with a very easy-to-use control software on a USB stick, which I immediately upgraded online. I assume one can just download the latest from the support section online anyway. In the control software one can adjust area, define buttons, both on the pen and on the tablet, select which screen, or both screens, and also test the pressure sensitivity.

    It is provided with a long-plug angled micro USB cable, which might not be the easiest to replace if it breaks, but I’ve never had a micro USB cable break, so I’d not worry about it. Inside the battery compartment is the Bluetooth dongle for connecting to a USB port which instantly connects the tablet to the computer, just like it would a keyboard or mouse.

    I noticed no difference using it cabled or wireless, which is great, and it worked a charm in Corel Painter, the pressure sensitivity easy to control straight out of the box with no fiddling of settings or calibrations necessary.

    The tablet has a nice feel to it, a gentle resistance to the nib, and it all just feels right and comfortable, which is what you need for it not to get in the way of your creativity.

    In short: I am very happy with it and look forward to using it a lot.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersThe latest XP-Pen carries on the tradition of their well made graphic pen tablets. This Star 06 is wireless and also USB cable connected to your pc, the previous 05 also had these options too but the work area is larger on this newer model 10 by 6 inches (05 was 8 by 5). The set-up was no problem, the manual explains it but nicely the included flash drive had a short video about the this as well as the driver downloads (or you can do that from the XP-Pen website).

    The pen is extremely light, probably not much more than a pencil and perhaps a bit thicker and there’s a toggle bar on the barrel with two positions and it doesn’t need a battery. I liked the pen holder, a heavy metal chromed base with a domed top, twist it off the base and inside are eight replacement tips. As the wireless usage works with a battery this has an on/off switch on the tablet’s base, after thirty minutes of non-use it goes into a sleep mode. Actually I would have liked some way of changing this to suit my usage, maybe a range of five minutes to thirty before the sleep mode kicks in.

    The tablet has the usual scroll wheel and six short-cut key options. So far it works perfectly for my photo-retouching and general graphic design work and I like the larger work area than the Star 04 I was using.

    Incidentally I found the tablet’s packaging worth a mention. Everything in the box is individually wrapped, even the instruction manual and a cloth bag is included to keep the pen safe.
