XPPen Updated Deco 01 V3 Drawing Tablet, 16384 Pressure Sensitivity, 8 Custom Shortcuts, 220 Report Rate for OSU Drawing Pad, Remote Teaching & Animation, Compatible with Android, Windows, macOS

Easy plug and play with opensuse linux. It was automatically recognized and works fine. GIMP recognizes the pen pressure sensitivity and the erase button. Zero issues.The fact it responds ONLY to the pen and is NOT touch sensitive to my fingers is a big plus. I can fully rest my hand on it without worrying about triggering mouse or window movementsTotally worth the money.

This saved me when I began teaching math online. I had tried using my iPad and using a stylus on a touchscreen PC; however, the results were almost illegible. The X-Pen tablet made my teaching much easier. The tablet was easy to set up with my PC, and the tablet worked seamlessly with Open Board, an online whiteboard. The writing was clear. The different functions of the tablet were easily accessible. This tablet works so well for an extremely reasonable cost. Don't hesitate to purchase this item.

I'm going to preface this by saying that I only got my XP-PEN Deco 01 v2 today, so, what I'm going to say is based on a total of around three hours of use so far. If my experience with the tablet or company changes in the coming months, I'll update the review, so, here goes.I use GIMP 2.10.22, and it's been my experience over the past decade I've been using GIMP, that it's usually either really fiddly to set up a tablet with GIMP (unless it's a Wacom, of course), or a tablet straight up just isn't compatible with the software. But with the Deco 01 v2, it was so incredibly easy. All I really had to do was was set the tablet up as normal, and then go into GIMP's input device settings and enable the Eraser function, choose a Brush Dynamics profile, and that was it. I was off and scribbling in about five minutes, when all was said and done. So, I'm super happy with my purchase of their product.This is technically my third tablet, but the first one I've been able to actually get to work with GIMP without any real hassle. First tablet was a Genius MousePen 608, and that KINDA worked with GIMP, but not really (it kept losing cursor position and I'd have to restart GIMP what seemed like every 10 minutes or so to get the cursor tracking back). The next one was a Turcom TS-6580B, and I couldn't get that one to work with GIMP no matter what I did. It's actually still sitting on the chair where I left it almost five years ago. Can't find the pen, though, so it's not really useful, anyway, and it was an active stylus and thus required 1xAAA battery. This drawing tablet is amazing so far.But yeah, the construction seems solid enough, the lit corners for the working area are a nice touch, especially if you're gonna be using it any at night, and having the little shortcut keys on the side is convenient. And I'm not gonna lie; the extras that are included with it certainly make it what I'd consider a decent value (other brands, you should be taking notes from these guys), and it comes at a decent price too, which, of course, is something to consider.The only thing I could mildly complain about is that I wish the PN05 stylus that comes with the Deco 01 v2 had the eraser end, and that could potentially be alleviated by swapping it out for another stylus, but I don't know if any other styluses from XP-PEN (or from anyone else, for that matter) are compatible with the tablet. So, maybe if anyone knows, one way or another, you could let me know in a comment to this review.

This tablet is great! I love these tablets so much, my old one broke and it was time for a new one. This one feels a bit different from my last one but I did get that one back in 2020 it’s a lot rougher than my first. I also can’t use it like a mouse for some reason like my old one. It won’t let me drag and sometimes won’t let me click. BUT!! It draws smoothly and amazingly.

It works great for what I need. The working area is fairly large and I like the pen sensitivity. I was upgrading from the V1 of the Deco when it went bad and it wasn't as responsive to pressure as the V3. I'm very happy.

This is a very versatile product. As a math teacher I wanted something where I could annotate on the screen as I walk throughout the classroom. With this being wireless it works perfectly. I can comfortably hold it in one hand while I write with the other. It is light weight and easy to use. I was able to plug it into my computer and start using it right away. This is my second one in about 8 years and they are a great quality item. I do not use it for drawing purposes as my artists would, but it works great as a teacher.

This is essentially my first drawing tablet and I gotta say, it's very beginner friendly. Having used a mouse and GIMP, it's easy to migrate to after a little time with it and I've quickly noticed it becomes much easier to get at those precision edits and curved angles. I've yet to use it in Sai, but I imagine it's pretty great there.I especially love the extras you get with the kit (protective screen, glove, extra pen tips, a pen holder, usb adapters). The pen has a small, but nice weight to it. Personally, I like that the two buttons positioned on the pen make it easy to click/hold using your thumb without having to lose your hand position and I can easily rotate the pen in a natural manner to avoid accidental button presses. I'm glad it has a soft grip for your fingers to rest on too instead of just hard plastic all over. It just feels good.The tablet itself is also nice and big for its work surface. Its sensitivity can be adjusted via the driver panel. The shortcut buttons on the tablet also make it easier to zoom in/out or undo/redo mistakes. I love it! Seriously, no cons from me or my wallet.

I have owned $80 drawing tablets, I have owned $800 drawing tablets. Four of them did not make it a month without software or hardware failures. This one? You just plug it in and get to drawing. Worth every cent. For artists looking to draw a lot, this type (non screen) will save your back and neck in the long run since your posture will naturally be slightly less shrimpy if you have to look up at your monitors. It also has no touch sensitivity which is great, you do not have to wear the stupid glove to use this.
