XP-Pen Star03 V2 12 Inch Graphic Tablet with Passive Stylus 8192 Levels and 8 Shortcuts Digital Drawing Tablet

This graphics tablet is amazing! It's easy to set up and use, i didn't have to install third party drivers (they installed automatically) there are high levels of sensitivity and it can be pressed on a lot harder than I expected with absolutely no issues (great for heavy handed people like me) the build quality is great and the buttons can function as macros. Getting the extra buttons on the pen makes this even better. Great product and a great price!

Got this drawing tablet to give me another way of working from home. Scribbling ideas and drawing was useful when collaborating with others, but not so easy working remotely. Setup the linux driver in about 3 minutes, good little desktop application for config (top marks!), GIMP and MS Teams desktop app work flawlessly. Genuinely impressed give the good vale and well design and made product.Great price for this item and a really good size for feeling equivalency between screen movement and pad tracking. No exaggeration of movement on screen which is awesome.

For the price, the XP-Pen Star 03 graphics tablet is good value for money. It's easy to use, sensitive and accurate enough for most of the applications it will be put to, and with both user configurable hard and soft programmable buttons, hard to beat. When it's working properly, the Star 03 is a very satisfying alternative to using a mouse.However, there’s a very negative caveat to the above, and that’s to do with the device driver supplied. To be specific, I’m referring to the Windows driver (I have no experience of the Mac driver). Although installation of the driver is straightforward enough, (I recommend you visit the XP-Pen website to download the latest version) it is not without problems. On my Windows 10, 64 bit operating system, the driver failed to initialise when the Star 03 was connected to my PC, so I couldn’t make use of the tablet without having to start the driver manually each and every time. (The driver is supposed to add a shortcut to the system tray on your Windows task bar for access to the tablet configuration.) I uninstalled the driver via Windows Control Panel, and then re-installed it and that’s where the problems began. The driver initialised when I plugged in the tablet, but every time I clicked the system tray icon to configure the tablet, Windows UAC popped up asking me to approve the execution of the driver. Worse, attempting to configure the tablet hardware buttons crashed the driver every time.I next attempted a clean un-install of the driver. The XP-Pen website has a driver removal tool (clearly they know there are problems) which did nothing to improve things. Following the instructions (not well written) did seem to remove the driver, but as soon as I re-installed I got conflicting messages. First, I was told the driver still existed and had to be removed, did I want to proceed? Answering yes to that, promptly re-installed the driver it was allegedly removing. This started a vicious cycle of install/un-uninstall taking me hours to unpick. After much wrangling, clearing out registry keys and deleting the program files manually, I finally managed to get a stable installation, could program/configure the graphics tablet and all is now well - with the exception that UAC still insists on popping up every time I click on the system tray icon. Annoying, but not the end of the world. Incidentally, the driver also has a set of features (the soft buttons I mentioned at the beginning) that are not even mentioned in the accompanying literature but are a welcome bonus increasing even further, the tablet fiunctionality.In summary, a great graphics tablet for the money, but let down badly by the accompanying driver software which is in desperate need of an overhaul. If you’re happy to deal with the potential driver issues when using this device, it’s a great piece of kit.

I bought this product to use with Photoshop; but having never used a graphics tablet before, I was a little apprehensive. Having read the customer reviews, I decided to give it a try anyway. I wasn't disappointed. It was delivered within 2 days, and came well presented in a nice box.As I am still trying to get used to using the tablet, instead of a mouse, and having never used an alternative product, I cannot compare it to others on ease of use or technical details. However, I find it a very well made quality product, and does what it is supposed to do. It is just the right size for my desk, not too big that it takes over the desk, and not too small that I struggle to do what I need to do, but just right as Goldilocks would say.I haven't quite got the hang of using the pen buttons, or the express keys on the tablet yet, but they so seem very useful and handy.My only negative so far, is that because I have to use it upside down due to the placement of my PC, and the cable, the express keys are now the wrong way round, despite using the left handed setting option. Although I do realise that I am able to reset the keys to my own custom settings, so it should not be an issue.
