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 bought this tablet for an alternative for now, as I purchased a Huion Kamvas display tablet and found myself unable to use it until I upgrade my PC (no USB-C port and no extra HDMI display ports for second monitors). I bought the smallest and cheapest one as I didn’t need anything fancy if this was going to be an alternative for me right now. I chose XP Pen as I always hear the brand be regarded in a very positive light by other artists.The tablet itself is slim, sleek, and doesn’t take up much space. Included in the box was the stylus itself, replacement tips and a tool to remove the pen’s tip, it also came with a manual as well. Setting up the tablet was very easy, finding which driver I needed on the website wasn’t a hassle either.The XP Pen tablet program is also very easy to use and is very direct. You can customize the pen tablet’s area of coverage on your screen or customize the pen pressure and buttons of the stylus. You can customize the buttons to act as a mouse with a double left click and right click, keyboard controls like shift or alt, or can be used within a drawing program as either an eraser or pen buttons to switch between.Using the tablet within an art program after customizing my preferred settings, I found the tablet to be very responsive to the stylus. I do feel a slight delay in my real movement and the movement of the stylus in an app, but I’m sure that can be fixed or customized within the app itself. Even though I bought a small size, it is not difficult to draw with.It’s a good tablet for the price and I am very glad I chose this brand for it!

This is my third tablet but my first XP Pen after a friend recommended it to me. I had a larger tablet before I wanted to replace after the touchpad stopped working so I actually upgraded to a visual tablet. Only to find out that it won't work with my computer. I was frustrated beyond words trying to troubleshoot so I wanted something simple again.THIS is simple. Easy to use. It's almost plug and play with how simple it is! I did have to download the driver program, but that took seconds. The pressure sensitivity is amazing! It took some tweaking in my art program to get it to register the pen strokes as more than super light, but now that it has, I'm incredibly impressed by how versatile it is for such a small tablet. This is by far superior to the original one I wanted to replace in spite of it being about half the size.After all the frustrations I've had with other tablets, I'm so glad to have found one that not only works, but works well and doesn't make me want to throw it out the window. Well worth the purchase, and the price is fantastic!

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.
