Product Price History

Just like anyone, I was a bit hesitant to purchase this drawing tablet but I was totally stunned after laying my hands on it. I will tell you why.I previously owned an Intuos art medium(2015) and this review will be a comparison between the both because I believe that most people who want to purchase this tablet will either be beginners or the people who want to try a drawing tablet for the first time in their life, So they will try to get a beginner’s range Intuos or other alternatives like this. Yes, Wac** brand has better drivers and customer support but to be honest recently they have been overpricing their product line with unexciting generation upgrades and saving their best features only for the pro line tablets which are so expensive.Their recently released 2018 beginner range tablets have worst nib wear as per many reviews, suppose for a person like me who works 6-8 hours continuously on digital drawing that’s a really bad thing. I can’t keep replacing my nibs for every four weeks that’s ridiculous so I thought of giving XP Pen a try after reading good reviews about ‘Deco 01’.Best things about the tablet:1- Tablet surface is smooth and scratch resistant. I didn’t see any nib wear or nib marks on the tablet though I’ve worked for many hours till now. So I can assure the nibs won’t wear quickly. They can last for an year as per my guess. Oh and there are like nine of them provided! When I said tablet surface is smooth, to elaborate it more it was like using a smooth wax colour pencil on paper it’s smooth but not too much. Surface smoothness is almost the same as my old Intuos art medium.2- Active area size is rectangular and perfect for modern monitors. It’s ideal for one regular led monitor upto 30 inches size or two small montiors upto 13 inch each or one 18:9 to 21:9 flat/curved monitor. It has custom active area adjustment btw.3 – Express keys have a perfect feel to them and are just enough. Neither too many nor too less. I don’t feel the absence of a radial dial, these are already perfect.4- Decent drivers. Yes there’s ‘Enable Windows Ink’ check box don’t worry about not having that. Pressure curve works perfectly.5- No hover lag.While my old tablet had hover height of 7mm this one has 10mm and I can clearly see the difference.6- Lines were sharp and clear even when canvas is zoomed out(due to 5080 lpi resolution), pressure sensitivity was just great at a price that is just 4 times lesser than Int**** Pr* Med*** (8192 levels). No lag whatsoever because of high report rate (266 rps). I can notice huge difference upon my old tablet.7- Works best with Photoshop (If you face pressure sensitivity disable windows ink in driver interface and modify PSUserconfig.txt file in Photoshop settings folder). Also works well with Krita, Clip studio paint etc.8- I didn’t expect pen holder at this price point it was a cute little surprise(out of many other surprises). It can hold the pen both vertically horizontally. Pen holder is heavy and doesn’t feel like some cheap plastic.9 -Pen has a very good triangular grip. It’s lightweight though.10- Type C cord doesn’t get into the way while you’re working. I had very much problem while using express keys on my old Intuos tablet. I just can’t simply use them because of their placement position and the cable was annoying. But this tablet solved those issues for me.11- Tablet felt 1 time lighter than my old tablet.The artist glove was very useful. I may even use it for my Ipad pro too.Cons:1- Pen doesn’t have eraser2- Only If there was pen tilt and rotation option available on Wa*** alternatives like Xp pen I’m afraid I’ll stop using Wa*** products forever. There’s no pen tilt or rotation on this tablet3 – No touch available. My old tablet had touch option but I rarely used it. Touch is not beneficial on drawing tablets, atleast for me.4- No bundled software. Bundled software like ‘Clip studio paint’ or ‘Corel painter essentials’ would cost you around 3k rupees but you also have zero cost alternatives like Krita’.And I forgot to mention something in the review- The shortcuts assigned to pen buttons are common towards all programs not specific to individual programs.That might be a con for multitaskers.I’ve bought it for 7500/-Final note – Being so accurate,seamless and fast it’s a marvellous drawing tablet at this price point. Beginners can blindly go for this and I recommend professionals to try this tablet you will definitely love it to have as your secondary tablet, or perhaps take up your primary tablet’s position. It’s that good trust me!I will soon update this review after a month with few photos of the tablet and my artworks which I’m gonna paint with it as well.25th May update – I had an incompatibility between tablet driver and windows 10 from the past few days but a recent windows 10 update fixed the issue. Now the tablet works like a charm. Super happy!
Comparison Review between XP-Pen Deco01 v2 and Huion H1060P. I’m writing this review because I wish there was one like it when I was agonizing over what my first drawing tablet would be. I’ve mostly used an XP-Pen deco 01 v1 for many years and it was fine, but when it broke (more on that below), I really wanted to try a Huion since they have such good reviews.Huion vs Xp-PenThis is a comparison between the Xp-Pen Deco 01 (v2) and the Huion Inspiroy H1060P. They both have nearly identical price points and specs. I got both on discounts for around $50 on average.I am not a professional artist, but I do draw a lot (several hundred hours on my tablet) and have been paid for my work, but I’m not as skilled as professionals. I mostly do character sketches and inking comic-style.For my style and what I need, both tablets are great. They are very precise and allow me to execute and get the end result that I want. Pen pressure ability is the same between the two, I can make clean, tapered strokes with each just fine. The Huion is set to a “harder” pressure than the Xp-Pen, and while both tablet drivers allow changing pressure curves, the Huion minimal is “harder” than the XP-Pen. All-in-all I’d say aside from the pressure, they perform identical and I’ve heard they they both use the same underlying hardware (unconfirmed by me), this makes sense if true.Personally I like to use a lighter touch when drawing so I prefer the XP-Pen, which also has a much lower ‘activation pressure’ that the tablet recognizes before drawing pixels. With the XP-Pen, if you are touching the tablet, it’s making a stroke. The Huion on the other hand requires a little pressure before it starts making a stroke. So you can lightly stroke the tablet and nothing will happen until you put enough pressure down for it to activate.Drivers:Unfortunately the Huion driver does not offer the option of changing the activation pressure of the tablet, just adjustment of the pressure curve (how the tablet interprets pressure after activation pressure has been reached). I don’t believe it can be fixed or adjusted via drawing software either, though I think some drawing software (Photoshop, Krita, Corel, etc) might allow you to adjust your tablet to have a higher activation pressure if you want it (just not lower).Aside from that, the Huion drivers work better with my drawing software (Krita) – by this I mean they are bug free and even work properly if I disconnect and reconnect the tablet while Krita is open.The XP-Pen drivers are a little more buggy – they often don’t reconnect properly when I disconnect/reconnect the tablet – the cursor position is fine, but the pressure will not be recognized by my computer until I exit Krita or sometimes I have to reboot the machine. There are other odd bugs like the cursor being trapped in a section of my monitor screen. This happens infrequently, but it does happen and its quite annoying.Pens:Both pens are nice and the new pen that comes with the v2 Deco is much better than the v1 one. The Huion pen is slightly better than both, a little heavier and it just feels a bit nicer/grippier in the handPhysical tablet:The XP-Pen is smaller and lighter than the Huion, but with the same drawing surface size. This is nice for travel and also allows you to place your computer about an inch closer when drawing. The Huion has 12 buttons to XP-Pen’s 8. The buttons feel fine on both, I never had a button fail on my v1 Deco01.I did have a problem with the USB port however. My Deco01 v1 broke because when plugged into the included L-Shaped cable connector, it’s easy to put up/down pressure on it which can cause damage. Looking at it now, it’s possible that pressure is being placed on the USB port unless maybe your table is perfectly flat, but even then it might have slight pressure. I’m going to just use a regular USB-C connector for my new one. I should note that the tablet did not break during normal use, I had the cable plugged in while I had it stuffed in my backpack and it must have been knocked or subjected to sideways pressure which caused damage to the port. Make sure to disconnect it before putting it anywhere!Summary points:Huion+ Better drivers (though it doesn’t allow you to set a minimum pressure). More stable, interacts with Krita better+ Better pen+ More buttons- Larger, slightly more heavyXPPen+ Smaller, but same active drawing space, better if table space is a premium, better for travel+ Like that it has much lower activation threshold+ Includes drawing glove, nice touch- USB port prone to breaking with included cable (unplug it when not in use!)Hope this helps!
Great Tablet for Alternative Mouse Use, But Requires Some Adaptation. I recently purchased the XPPen Deco mini7W Graphic Tablet to use as an alternative mouse for my work computer due to hand pain caused by the conventional-style mouse. While it hasn’t completely replaced my traditional mouse, it has proven to be a helpful tool in managing my discomfort. Here are my thoughts on this wireless drawing tablet:Pros:Ergonomic Design: The XPPen Deco mini7W has a sleek and compact design that fits comfortably in my hand. Its lightweight construction allows for easy maneuverability, reducing strain on my wrist and fingers.Pressure Sensitivity: The tablet’s pressure sensitivity is excellent, making it great for artistic endeavors or precision tasks that require different levels of control.Customizable Buttons: The tablet features programmable buttons that can be assigned to various shortcuts, providing quick access to frequently used functions. This feature enhances efficiency and reduces the need to reach for the keyboard.Wireless Connectivity: The wireless functionality of this tablet is a convenient feature, eliminating the hassle of cords and allowing for greater freedom of movement.Cons:Learning Curve: Transitioning from a conventional mouse to a drawing tablet requires some adjustment. It took me a while to get accustomed to the tablet’s touch-sensitive surface and hand-eye coordination. However, with patience and practice, I was able to improve my control over time.Limited Mouse Functionality: While the XPPen Deco mini7W serves as a decent alternative mouse, it lacks the full range of features that a traditional mouse offers. This limitation may require the use of a conventional mouse alongside the tablet for certain tasks.Battery Life: The battery life could be better. Although it lasts for a reasonable amount of time, I find myself needing to recharge it more frequently than expected.Overall, the XPPen Deco mini7W Graphic Tablet is a solid option for those seeking an alternative mouse due to hand pain. While there is a learning curve and some limitations in terms of mouse functionality, the tablet’s ergonomic design, pressure sensitivity, and wireless connectivity make it a valuable addition to my workstation. I recommend using it in conjunction with a traditional mouse to handle tasks that are better suited for a conventional input device. With some adaptation, this tablet has become an essential tool for alleviating my hand pain during prolonged computer use.
Affordable, durable, great usability. I bought a used $40 XP pen tablet and it’s been very good so far. I don’t use it all the time, but when I do, it works pretty good.One star missing because I’ve experience a lot of connection issues (with the wire). Can’t tell if it’s the wire, or driver or tablet, but it randomly disconnects about 1/6 of the time that I use it.Otherwise, durable nibs on pen, wire can be messy, pressure sensitivity is great, option of left handers (turns upside down so buttons aren’t in way), hot keys on pen and tablet (don’t use very often bc my nondom hand is on keyboard, very lightweight, nice pen holder, easy- user friendly interface program.If you’re serious about long-term drawing, would suggest investing in a better tablet (I’m also looking for a new one).If you’re new and want to experiment with digital drawing and you’re on a budget, perfect choice.If you’re intermediate, still probably invest in a wacom tablet instead.But still, I’m happy with my purchase.
Great for Teaching Mathematics (or Similar). I really like this tablet. I picked it up here in the first year of Covid, when I had to often teach from home or remotely. It worked wonderfully! For Mac Users: Simply Google-search for XP-Pen driver and locate this model and keep the driver up to date. Otherwise, it will not tap/touch correctly. If that driver is installed, it works beautifully on a Mac. I like, too, that the pen does not have a battery, nor does it need any kind of charge. I’ve been using it for three years. I have one I keep at home and another I keep at my office and take to use it in class with me in conjunction with a Smartboard. I have never had to download a tablet for Windows machines.
