Drawing Tablet XPPen G430S OSU, Graphic Drawing Tablet with 8192 Levels Pressure Battery-Free Stylus, 4 x 3 inch Ultrathin, for OSU Game, Online Teaching Compatible with Window/Mac Black

I had no idea if this would work for the application I had intended it for. That is, being a mechanical designer, sometimes advantageous to mark something up on screen by hand in a natural fashion. As it turns out, it worked perfectly and continues to do so no matter what application I use it with. You can even use it as an extremely precise mouse if you want to, hovering the stylus over the pad. It’s small enough at 4 x 6“, to easily get stashed somewhere when you’re not using it and not have it take up half an acre of desk space. And I really like the little things that went into the design and function such as it knows immediately when you pull the stylist out and self activates ready to use. I also really like the fact that it comes with probably half a dozen stylist tips doesn’t use those tiny quadruple-A batteries that are in some Bluetooth stylus pens, and has all kinds of customizable function buttons and so forth that I could probably burn more time than I care to consider tailoring them if I want to. If like me, and you don’t need a full a size or bigger surface to draw on, this is ideal. It has an app interface that allows you to customize all different kinds of things, including stylus, pressure and angle, and on, and on and on, and probably most important of all at least for me it works, and it works well. I didn’t have to break the bank getting something bigger or more than I needed, and was able to blindly pick and win the lottery for exactly what I need. Probably the most difficult thing from starting out and it’s normal I expect, is tailoring the sensitivity and so forth to your writing style. Hand position, elevation of the stylus on the pad, stylus angle and pressure. It is extremely sensitive, which I think is fantastic, but it will take a little bit of getting used to and adjusting, so you’re not over or under correcting. Zero regrets: I should’ve gotten something like this years ago.

Works perfectly. The pen is responsive and feels smooth. The tabs on the top of the tablet are convenient and don't interfere with the writing surface. The only bummer for me is the cord. I wish I had purchased a wireless drawing tablet. Though the cord is long enough and fits well, it gets in my way. It's a personal preference and doesn't diminish the product's value.

The XP-Pen G 430 is my very first drawing tablet. I’m not really a visual artist, but I wanted to doodle while using my laptop. Like most people, I find drawing with the mouse hard and awkward so I decided to buy the G 430 because it was very affordable, and just in case I didn’t stick with drawing, I didn’t want to feel like I had wasted too much money on a tablet I was not going to use. This little drawing tablet is great for newbies like me. The device is 6.5” long and 4” wide. The working area, however, is only 4” by 3.” The tablet comes with one pen, additional pen tips and a pen clip to help you remove and insert pen tips. If you’re using the tablet to play the game, it doesn’t need additional steps once it’s plug to your computer. If you want to use it for drawing, however, you have to go to the XP-Pen’s website and download the latest Star Series G430 driver. The manual can also be downloaded from there. Once the driver is installed, you can change the tablet settings to your needs. You can set up the tablet to work with two monitors, assign functions such as double click, right click, etc. to the two buttons on the pen, adjust the size of the working area on the tablet and change the pen pressure settings. I’m using Microsoft Paint with the tablet, and I’m still getting used to working with the pen. I keep hitting the two buttons by accident when I’m drawing. Also, the pen/eraser toggle mystifies me since I haven’t figured out yet how to keep it in pen or eraser modes long enough to use either of them. I wouldn’t say it replaces the mouse, but it’s certainly much easier to draw with the pen. And yet it’s not like a regular pen. I have to be aware of how much pressure I’m applying and how I’m holding it. Otherwise, the tablet may not respond. As for the size of the working area, I think it’s okay once I got used to drawing while looking at the monitor and not at my hand. Since I’m using the G 430 solely for drawing, I can’t say anything of its performance as a game tablet. But as a drawing tablet, it’s a nice one for beginners. It’s light, doesn’t take up too much space and it’s easy to use. One more thing, I suggest investing on an artist glove, the kind that covers your pinky and ring fingers only, to prevent your hand from leaving sweat and oil smudges on your tablet.

Works very well! Both me and my girlfriend now use this to take notes in class (as opposed to buying a whole ipad/tablet). It fits in my bag without issue and i havent had any malfunctions or problems with the tablet for the months ive had it. The drawing tablet is quite durable since i just toss it in my bag and it really gets tossed around. Just make sure to keep it away from other electronics- I put it under my laptop one time and it messes with the pen detection system. Once removed from under laptop it works perfectly fine.

It's good for someone new to digital tablets, feels a bit flimsy and scratches easily once the protector comes off, though it is a decent sized screen. I could not figure out how to program the buttons or download the driver and it became a bit frustrating and confusing to use over all. I don't think I would buy this if you have an older pc as that seemed to be part of the issue

very small

Es perfecta en cuanto a portabilidad, pequeña y ultra delgada para poder llevarla donde sea. Se recomienda instalar el driver de la página oficial ya que agrega funciones como la presión y además mejora la respuesta al movimiento. Se siente de muy buena calidad y el lapiz viene con muchas puntas (como 10)

Work with Microsoft Word flawlessly. I use this for Chinese text input. Way faster and accurate than using mouse.

Happy for my girl
