You can also find the USB Type-C port on this side, and the tablet can be powered by your computer directly via USB. I also find it easier to accept a display tablet with less shortcut buttons than a pen tablet because, quite frankly, there are not very many with more than 8 buttons+wheel.

However, others say that the pen nibs wear out way too easily, the drivers can be a little wonky, and the stylus feels a bit cheap. It's good to see XP-Pen has addressed many of those issues I've mentioned with the previous model, namely colour accuracy, parallax offset, glitches with some drawing software, stand not included. The pen also comes in a beautiful sleek black case, that serves both to place it inside, to hold the 8 extra nibs and you can also use one side as a pen holder! I can also easily set the tools that I commonly use on the shortcut keys like undo, pan, color picker, and switch between the eraser and the brush tool. I also never noticed the cursor lagging so far behind the pen that it was a problem, so it gets a pass here.

As for the wheel, for me, it seems really practical to use to zoom in and out, but that’s just an idea!Pro is assuming that the shortcut keys don’t matter and that you can make do with a keyboard or get another device for shortcuts.
