Review on Graphic Tablet XP-PEN Deco 01 V2 Black by Agata Getka ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

Purchased the day before. I'm not good at painting, but I'm really good at writing out mathematical calculations by hand during online lectures and designing simple diagrams (circles, arrows). As a result, I did not want a graphics tablet that was loaded with features; rather, I required one that was inexpensive and cheerful. We required a sizable workspace in order to avoid the necessity of writing in a cramped handwriting style. Although the working space here is not quite as large as an A4 sheet, it is still very sizable. Functioning keys are good. Because of this, I did not give them a lot of attention. I had the impression that it was more for painters, but it turns out that it's not; I conveniently adapted them for hot keys. After the first day of work, I am pleased with the tablet, which is a fun toy, in spite of the non-essential drawbacks that were mentioned earlier. I gave it four stars, but if I could, I would give it 4.5: there are issues, but they don't seem to be critical, and it's easy to work with.

Pros
  • The cost, the user-friendliness, the relatively big size of the working area, the equipment, and the shortcut keys (a glove so as not to stain the surface of the tablet with your hand, 8 spare tips, a protective film).
Cons
  • 1. The names of the buttons in the software's user interface do not make sense; you will need to make educated guesses. 2. When you try to set up that the working area of ​​the tablet does not correspond to the entire screen, but only to its part (for example, the one where drawing / writing takes place directly), sometimes something does not work, crashes. Yet I was successful in putting it all together. On the basis of these considerations, we are able to reach the conclusion that this business is not quite as established as other of its more well-known competitors, such as Wacom (although I have not tried Wacom - I just know that the company is well-known and I assume that they are more developed). But perhaps I'm being overly critical.
