XPPen Deco 01 V2 Graphics Tablet 10×6.25 Inch Drawing Tablet 8192 Levels Pressure Battery-Free Pen with Tilt Function Android/Chromebook Supported Online Teaching Tablet Black

More versatile than it seems
I’m probably one of the few reviewers who got this to replace my pointing device. I suck at drawing, but I wanted to learn, and my mouse at work was bothering me, so I figured I would try this out. Surprisingly, it was basically plug and play with Linux, Fedora 30. I did NOT use it for anything art related at work, just as a pointing and clicking device. The Digimend drivers should work fine for it, just google for them, although configuring specific settings is more advanced, and required me to use the command line, and I’m unsure if there’s a way to map the buttons. But for something that supposedly only works for windows and mac, it was great on linux.I have the protector on it in the picture, the keyboard is an Anne pro v2 60%, and the mouse is a Razer Mamba, so you can see the size comparison. Only changes I wish I could make would be allow me to switch between absolute mode and relative mode using the express keys; I think you have to go into the driver gui and click a radio button to pick the mode, but you’re unable to bind it to a key. On Linux, I couldn’t get the top button on the pen to register at all, so I had to create key binds to do middle click. Other than that, works great, the penholder is super convenient. I actually also ordered the XP-PEN gs640, the smaller one with no buttons, to use at work in relative mode, and that works great as well.This has pressure sensitivity and tilt functions that seem to work great in Krita.Definitely a worthwhile pick up if you’re looking for an alternative input device or good quality, inexpensive drawing pad.

Great starter drawing tablet.
Great build and design. The tablet software is clearly designed for Windows computers and can be a bit buggy and laggy on Mac but overall, much better than a mouse when drawing for sure.

(Almost) too good to be true
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.

I love it!
It’s so easy to draw with this tablet! It has multiple buttons you can set and I like how much space there is.

A mesa é muito boa, pelo preço ela tem uma ótima qualidade, tenho ela a alguns meses e nao deu nenhum problema. A caneta tem esses botões que vc pode configurar do jeito q vc quiser, por um lado é muito pratico, por outro é um pouco chato quando vc aperta sem querer. Ela tem um ótimo tamanho, achei q seria pequena mas é ótima pra quem quer começar a desenhar e não pagar tão caro assim. O apoio da caneta vem com um espaço de armazenamento das pontas extras (que são 8, não é muito mas a ponta nao se desgasta tão facil). A XPPEN é uma marca ótima super recomendo!!!

C’est pour un enfant de dix ans qui adore dessiner et rêvait d’une tablette graphique… Excellent produit pour son premier outil dans le genre !!
