XPPen Deco LW Wireless Drawing Tablet- 10x6 Bluetooth Graphic Tablet with Battery-Free X3 Digital Stylus Wireless Drawing PAD Compatible with Chrome, Windows 11, Linux, Mac, and Android (Green)

I have been using my mouse to draw and write while teaching online (in combination with a lifetime of general mouse use) for long enough that I got pretty good at it, but there was always a speed-legibility tradeoff being made and during busy periods where I might be writing for 8+ hours a day, a week in a row, my shoulder and wrist would start to get strained from the position and movement.Once I decided to look into getting a tablet, either to replace the mouse entirely or to at least offer and alternative ergonomic position, I came across many candidates. After striking the draw-on-screen options (I don't need this, it would mean a huge desktop space investment, and these devices are usually an order of magnitude or so more expensive), there were still several good options but XP Pen's offerings stood out as being really reasonably priced and loved just about as much as options from other companies like Wacom. I almost bought the Deco 01 V2, but checked the company's page and saw that this newer offering was available, so I went with the Deco LW.The pen it comes with is great. Batteryless, so that's one fewer thing to forget to charge or maintain, and it functions perfectly as far as I can tell. It detects and responds just as I would expect, zero complaints on this front.The working area is very comfortable for me. I have plenty of space to write and draw accurately (I have the pen set up to map to the area of one of my monitors), but it's not a chore to reach anything on the screen.The buttons are buttons, nicely programmable (you can even have them run simple button sequences or execute a few other features to adjust the tablet's behavior or launch a program [or shortcut, which you could have do whatever your mind and scripting talents allow you to do]), and a nice feature on the tablet. I will definitely use them sometimes, but for how I typically work I will likely have my left hand on my keyboard much more often than not. Still a very nice feature to have, and I'm sure I will use it sometimes when I want to do something with just the writing pad on my lap instead of on my desk above my keyboard.The software has been almost flawless so far, though there are a couple of features I would like. It installed easily, the pairing software worked on the first try (and my computer has grabbed the tablet every time I've unplugged the wired connection, no problem), and the features are easy to program and seem to do what I tell them to do. I have had a couple of occurrences of settings getting reverted, but I *think* this has to do with the fact that sometimes I'll end up with multiple Settings windows opened up by virtue of the fact that the window pops up when the tablet is connected (and doesn't close itself when the tablet is disconnected). I will keep an eye on this, and it's inconvenient, but not a terribly big issue and shouldn't ever cause a problem unless you're actively changing settings.A feature I would appreciate is if the pen buttons could modify the pen touch behavior rather than simply creating the behavior when the buttons are pressed. The most obvious example of this is that the lower pen button defaults to "right click", which is handy, but it simply sends "right click" when you press the button which is a bit unwieldy. I would like to be able to hold the button, then tap with the pen and receive a right click where I tapped. Similar middle click behavior would be nice.Bluetooth has worked great so far. I usually just use the tablet plugged in, but I've tried wireless a couple of times and there hasn't been an appreciable amount of lag or stuttering in my experience. Basically feels like it's plugged in. Will update if my experience changes down the line but I would be surprised.The colors offered are pleasant to look at. I almost always go "black" for my electronics, but decided to get a blue tablet. It stands out, but in a nice and unobtrusive way. The green also looks nice, and if ever I got my wife her own I'm sure she would like the pink one.One minor design gripe I have is that the keys have little bumps on them to denote which key you're touching, but the layout is none of symmetrical, antisymmetrical, or braille. They could have used the braille numbers (1-8) or letters (A-H), which would have been a neat touch, or they could have created some unidirectional dot pattern that continued down the buttons, or they could have had the bottom half mirror the top half. What we get is as follows (top to bottom)Smooth1 dot/ 2 dots in that relative positionr 3 dots sort of like an "r" (2 then 1)J 3 dots sort of like a backwards L (1 then 2) <- Fine up to this point; they mirrored to say "you're not on button4 anymore)/ 2 dots in the same relative position as button2 <- This will probably bother me as long as I have this tablet1 dotSmoothThis is very much a "me" problem, but just flip the one button from / to \ and it would at least look like you mirrored the bottom half!Anyway, long ramble short, if you're looking for a really good, not expensive tablet with nice features and little hassle, this has been all of the above for me so far.

I adore this tablet! It's been over five years since I used a non-screen tablet and while the natural adjustment period is still here, I felt able to jump into drawing right away! Super nice design, decent battery life and the pressure sensitivity is very nice! It performs well and is super easy to set up. I enjoy how easy the Bluetooth functionality is- it allows me to jump right into drawing in moments, whereas my previous tablet was very large and needed many cumbersome wires. This tablet cuts down on the amount of steps between Wanting to draw and actually DOING it. I've not noticed any issues with connectivity or pen accuracy in the bluetooth connection, which is fantastic! The working area is smooth to the touch, but there is a nice bit of resistance when using the tablet pen- it feels close to drawing on paper! Keep in mind any sensitivity to the more audible scratching noises, though, if you are sensitive to those.The pen is nice and light too, though I find the buttons are too far back for how I prefer to hold my pens. I tend to choke the pen a little bit so using the pen buttons can be a bit clunky.

This review is a story so bear with me.I initially bought an XP Pen Deco 01 v2 due to all the recommendations about it online. Unfortunately, I ran into sensitivity issues on the lower half of the tablet. On the top half of the tablet small movements were recorded, on the bottom half they were not. I purchased a replacement thinking it was a one off, the replacement had the exact same issue.Frustrated, I bought three more tablets: the XP Pen Deco L, the Huion HS610, and the Huion H610X.This is my comparison of each:Huion HS610 Pros: premium unboxing experience, touch wheel, comes with a pen stand, has soft buttons that you can press with the pen as well as physical buttons Cons: buttons feel cheap, build quality is pretty but doesn't seem durable (I may be wrong on this just my impression) Other: pen is a nice thick size, the surface is fairly rough. I like the pen thickness but personally consider a rough surface to be a downside, I don't like the plastic on plastic scratchy feel and sound.Huion H610X Pros: same as the HS610 but it doesn't have soft buttons or a touch wheel. The button layout is nice though, it's easy to tell which button you're pressing because of the shapes. Cons: same as the HS610. Other: like the HS610, has a rough surface and a thick pen. Up to you whether these are pros or cons.XP Pen Deco L Pros: IMMENSELY better stylus in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, pressure feel, etc. The X3 marketing materials definitely aren't a gimmick. The rocker button on the pen feels much more premium than the other pens as well. This is definitely a step up from the XP Pen Deco 01 v2 and is also superior to the Huion pen. Build quality of the tablet itself looks more utilitarian, but also feels very durable. There's a rubber bumper around the edge which I think is nice and probably helps protect it on the move. Cons: Does not come with a pen holder, extra nibs are just sitting in a little baggy waiting to get lost, and the unboxing experience feels less premium than the other tablets. Other: the pen is slimmer than the Deco 01 v2 or Huion pens. This is a con for me but felt like a personal preference thing so I put it under "other". the surface of the tablet is smooth, reminiscent of the Deco 01 v2 but ever so slightly more rough. I consider this to be a pro, but again this is a personal preference thing.Conclusion: I love everything about the Deco L except for the pen thickness and lack of pen holder. I wish it was thicker with a rubber grip, and it would be nice to have a better way to store the nibs. I almost went with one of the Huions, but after trying both multiple times I feel like the accuracy and sensitivity of the Deco L pen makes it the winner in spite of the thinner profile. Maybe at some point XP Pen will make an X3 pen that has a rubber grip.Bonus note for lefties: I didn't like how the XP Pen logo was upside down on the Deco 01 v2 in left handed mode. However, both the Deco L and the H610X solve this issue by having the logo on the side which is aesthetically pleasing in both left and right handed configurations. Part of why I didn't like the HS610 was that all the soft buttons were upside down when rotated 180 degrees.Hopefully this review proves helpful, I plan to come back and update it in a few months with a long term update on reliability and durability.Update after one year: still works great, and I love everything about this tablet. Do still wish it came with a pen holder though. The pen size has grown on me, I think I actually prefer it to thicker pens now.

Es bastante grande, le puedes configurar sensibilidad y comandos, me gustarían más opciones para los botones pero en general viene muy bien, facil de usar e intuitiva, además el color es muy bonito :) me gustó mucho

Lo práctico de la tableta.

TLDR; Very compact and portable tablet. Easy to draw, no issuesThis tablet is very well made. Feels nice and sturdy and the drawing performance is adequate. I am a student and only use drawing tablets for homework like math. However, I found cheaper tablets such as the XP-Star G640 have many issues in terms of being precise when drawing fine details on big screens. This tablet makes it easy to draw very fine detail while also feeling super responsive in wired mode. It does drop its report rate and feels kinda laggy in Bluetooth mode, but I notice no difference inaccuracy. The pen is plastic but sturdy and has a very low actuation point which is super nice to have.This tablet compared to their higher-end models such as the XP-Deco Pro, this deco is significantly better. the Deco pro has more bells and whistle such as a nicer pen that is more comfortable and a wheel that controls zoom or brush stroke size. Though the Deco Pro I have noticed has many quality control issues. I have returned multiple Deco Pros because of cosmetic damage such as cuts on the tablet, the scroll wheel being loose, and connectivity issues in wired mode. All of these issues happen independently on different returns so it is a random chance I get these issues.

Love this tablet as it has helped speed up my editing over using a mouse. Didn't take long to get used to it and set up was really easy.Only thing I wish is I got the Bluetooth version as a bit of a pain having a cable lying around and needing to bring one with you.Other than that I would recommend this to anyone that wants to start using tablets for their editing.

La Tableta di es un buen articulo y lo recomiendo lo unico es el guante para dibujo pero ese se compra aparte y no cuesta mucho tapoco
