Review on Graphic tablet XPPen Star 06C black/light green by Mateusz Jamroz ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good product, I recommend that you try it.

I am not an artist, but a teacher, and, naturally, I will not be able to appreciate this tablet in its entirety. (Pixel art at my level is no worse drawn with a mouse.) Now I would make a different choice: I do not use the buttons on the side of the tablet, and the working surface turned out to be even too large for me (few people write on A4 sheets in landscape orientation), but in the end I got used to it and working with the tablet I satisfied. It seems to me that this particular model is not the best for its price, but none of the shortcomings seems critical to me.

Pros
  • Large working area for its price (however, it is smaller than A4, the area behind the gray corners cannot be used). An understandable driver with understandable settings (once, however, they flew off, forcing me to worry). Almost all buttons are programmable, and the wheel has several modes of operation. The kit comes with a huge number of spare leads and a synthetic glove for two fingers. It is completely optional to use it, in the cold season woolen fingerless gloves glide much better, but in the warm season it will still be too hot.
Cons
  • I bought this tablet in the spring, used it three to four times a week, and now it's covered in multi-layered scratches, like a board in an old auditorium. The stylus, however, does not feel them, the quality of work has not suffered. The assembly and materials are not bad, but not good either: the rubber on the stylus walks, the buttons play, and the green loop on the side is too narrow for the stylus. However, it is unlikely that anyone will seriously care. The mini USB socket is hidden deep, not all cables will be able to reach it.
