Wireless Drawing Tablet XPPen Deco mini7W Graphic Tablet Pen Tablet with 8192 Levels Pressure, 7 x 4 inch Artist Tablet for Online Teaching/E-Learning Compatible with Window/Mac/Android/Chrome/Linux

The tablet works excellently, easy to use and connect to a computer of choice. The driver is also easy to install and includes extra settings for the tablet and pen such as setting up keyboard shortcuts. The tablet is light and easy to handle and comes at a good size for working with. The surface of the tablet is clean and flat, so your pen does not get stuck if you hit an edge.I should say that the wheel is easy to bump depending on where you are using the tablet. I have been using the tablet on my lap, so I had to reassign the wheel to something less disrupting. The two things I would really use it for would be for rotating the canvas or changing the brush size.The pen case is a tube which has the downside of easily rolling or falling over but I was amazed how the cap doubles as a pen stand. The case comes with spare nibs and a nib remover, so everything you really need is in the pen case.The cable seems to be of good quality, and does not get in the way while using the tablet. Depending on your setup, you might need an extension cord, but the length is decent if you are on a laptop or if the USB port you connect to is somewhere on your desk. If the cable is too short, you also have the option of using the wireless receiver, though I haven't used it yet.There's also an artist's glove that comes with the tablet that fits on smaller hands. The fabric is thin and breathable as far as I can tell, but I have not really used it. I'd say it's good to use if you want your hand to glide smoothly across the tablet or prevent oils from smudging onto it.Overall, I am really happy with the quality and price of the tablet!

My intuos 4 pen recently went missing somehow (I blame her dog, she blames my cat). Given the low price of the deco 03 (not that much more than replacing the wacom pen alone), and the fact that it could get to me quicker than an intuos pen, I decided to take a chance with it. I've only had it for a month, so I'll revisit my review after I put some more hours on it, but thus far it has far exceeded my expectations. The build quality has me hoping xp pen makes a cintiq competitor soon, as I'd buy one in a heartbeat. I'm a semi-professional artist, so I use my tablet a lot, though it's not my full time gig, so it's not getting 8 hours of use per day. Over the last month it's probably averaged about 1-4 hours per day of use, and it's holding up well. The drawing surface shows wear, but nothing unreasonable.Pros:Price-- Larger than comparable wacom for less than half the price.Accuracy and Pressure control -- fantastic. Seems as accurate as my wacom, and the pressure sensitivity is more than I can possibly utilize.Drivers -- I expected some problems here, but they installed fine, have worked without issue the entire month, and allow for a lot of control...Build quality-- is very high. I expected it to feel cheap, but it really doesn't.Very light/thin. I never took my Intuos 4 anywhere because it was juuust a bit too clunky to drag around, but this thing is super thin and very light. I regularly throw it in my backpack to work away from home...Cons: (all are minor nitpicks)No barrel roll or tilt-- This is not an issue for most of the stuff I do for work, but when Im just painting for myself I really miss tilt. I hope xppen adds this functionality at some point.Button binding -- The only thing the drivers lack is the ability to bind *anything* you want to the buttons. The options are pretty good, so it's probably not an issue for for 99% of the things people will want to bind, but photoshop drag-to-resize tool requires alt+left click (and can't be remapped for some reason), which you can't bind with the xp pen drivers (wacoms do let you).Pen tips -- You get a bunch, but there's just one type. I'd like options for different hardnesses to find one that really feels good to me. The basic tip is ok, but it has a very specific, smooth plastic-on-plastic feel that isn't my favorite. Also, the replacement tips are fairly hard to pull out of their case. I had to get needle-nose pliers to pull one out when I needed to replace the first tip, which wore a flat spot in a month of moderate use. That was a lot faster than I expected. I can probably extend that out by being more conscious about rolling the pen occasionally so as to not draw on the same spot every time, but time will tell if this is a real issue.Pen distance -- One thing that took a little getting used to is that the tablet doesn't read the pen location until you get fairly close to the surface of the tablet (I'd guess 1/2 to 3/4 inch, but I didn't measure it). At first this was really frustrating because I was used to the wacom which has a much further read distance, so frequently when I'd pull off my drawing to use a button function, the pen would stop registering as I was striking hotkeys, and things would get mucked up. I'm getting used to it, so it's mostly not an issue, but it would be a nice quality of life improvement if they could increase the read distance even a little bit.Pen buttons -- The last minor nitpick is that the bottom barrel button on the pen is too flat along the side of the pen. When drawing it's easy to kinda lose where the buttons are, and hard to locate the by feel. I'd rather they had a bit bigger profile to rest your finger on/let you find them easier...

I recently purchased the XPPen Deco mini7W Graphic Tablet to use as an alternative mouse for my work computer due to hand pain caused by the conventional-style mouse. While it hasn't completely replaced my traditional mouse, it has proven to be a helpful tool in managing my discomfort. Here are my thoughts on this wireless drawing tablet:Pros:Ergonomic Design: The XPPen Deco mini7W has a sleek and compact design that fits comfortably in my hand. Its lightweight construction allows for easy maneuverability, reducing strain on my wrist and fingers.Pressure Sensitivity: The tablet's pressure sensitivity is excellent, making it great for artistic endeavors or precision tasks that require different levels of control.Customizable Buttons: The tablet features programmable buttons that can be assigned to various shortcuts, providing quick access to frequently used functions. This feature enhances efficiency and reduces the need to reach for the keyboard.Wireless Connectivity: The wireless functionality of this tablet is a convenient feature, eliminating the hassle of cords and allowing for greater freedom of movement.Cons:Learning Curve: Transitioning from a conventional mouse to a drawing tablet requires some adjustment. It took me a while to get accustomed to the tablet's touch-sensitive surface and hand-eye coordination. However, with patience and practice, I was able to improve my control over time.Limited Mouse Functionality: While the XPPen Deco mini7W serves as a decent alternative mouse, it lacks the full range of features that a traditional mouse offers. This limitation may require the use of a conventional mouse alongside the tablet for certain tasks.Battery Life: The battery life could be better. Although it lasts for a reasonable amount of time, I find myself needing to recharge it more frequently than expected.Overall, the XPPen Deco mini7W Graphic Tablet is a solid option for those seeking an alternative mouse due to hand pain. While there is a learning curve and some limitations in terms of mouse functionality, the tablet's ergonomic design, pressure sensitivity, and wireless connectivity make it a valuable addition to my workstation. I recommend using it in conjunction with a traditional mouse to handle tasks that are better suited for a conventional input device. With some adaptation, this tablet has become an essential tool for alleviating my hand pain during prolonged computer use.
