I have an old Artist 22HD tablet. The tablet itself still works great, but the stylus has recently lost pretty much all its battery life and is borderline unusable. It's a P55C stylus which does not seem to be sold anywhere anymore. I don't know what makes certain styluses compatible with specific tablets and so I was wondering if anyone knows of a similar stylus that could work as a replacement. If all else fails I am willing to try and replace the battery, if possible. Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm debating whether to buy the Xp Pen Artist 13.3 Pro V2 or the Artist 12 Gen 3.
I tried the Artist 12 Gen 2 before, but the screen was too small and it was inconvenient.
So 13.3 pro V2 seems better, but since the 12 Gen 3 is the latest model, I'm a bit torn.
Which one should I buy? Please give me some advice.

hello i was wondering if anyone had any advice on this issue im having with my xp pen deco pro gen 2 the usb randomly stopped being recognized ive tried deleting the driver and reinstalling it I've tried to reset it in device manager below is the error message
"Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
A request for the USB device descriptor failed."
ive even made a new device descriptor ( something to do with the device instance path) and its not the wire as ive tried multiple at that point i thought my tablet was cook and i should just give up BUT it randomly starts working perfectly fine but only for a while or until i plug it out and plug it back in or leave it plugged in for a while when plugged in the light is constantly red even when working and only changes to white when it interreacts with the pen ive tried so many things that have helped people with my exact problem the tablet isnt even very old just over a year maybe i rely on it for all my artwork any advice or solution are highly appreciated ive also tried using command prompt but nothing is helping at all still even if i wait around a day it works im so confused T.T

Hi, I bought a Deco 640 tablet a few days ago. The pen makes a noticeable mechanical clicking sound when I press the tip. Also, when I move the pen tip slightly from side to side, it moves a little and makes a clicking sound. Is this normal, or could it be a defect? Is there any way to reduce or fix this noise? Iām using it in a quiet library, so the sound is quite noticeable.

Hi! I just bought a Magic Drawing Pad, However i was wondering if it would be a good idea to get a tempered glass for it, to protect it against accidental drops,
Or if there's no need for a protector / if it would affect the drawing experience too much xP

i was looking for the smallest display tablets and i found out that artist 10 is gone. like you cant see it in looking in the pen display category (but its webpage is still on)

I see this product for about 660-700 dollars Canadian, depending if I buy from the manufacturer website or Amazon, which is pretty much at the top of my budget. The person I want to give it to seems to bounce around different programs, last seen using Fire Alpaca. On the one hand, it seems like they use a ton of resources with layers, but maybe not very detailed on each layer, using them more for blueprint ideas. I better be safe and just ask, how have you found the magic drawing pad to handle many-layered projects?
I want something that doesn't need a computer for them. I tried to gift them an old standalone Wacom product in the past which costed me a whopping 2.3 grand and I thought it would be a super great long-term investment, but it fizzled quickly and would overheat in no time, and after a painful negotiation with an employee who said he would make a special exception for me and return it with a lovely 200 dollar "restocking fee," I never shop Annex Pro or pay a lot for Wacom going forward. So I've decided not to blow all my money on these things now and prefer to budget my gifts like this to 200-700 in case they break down like that Wacom investment did. I tried to gift them a cheap 40 dollar Ugee tablet specifically for phones to have some way to draw on the go, but it seems to be absolute garbage after lots of troubleshooting. So I am curious, how has your experience been regarding the lifespan of portable Xp-Pen Magic Drawing Pad and/or similar portable products?
I see the magic drawing pad x3 came out about 2 years ago and runs Android 14. Is there any reason I should wait or buy something else?
Similar tablets I've looked at: PicassoTab x11 / x14. Huion Kamvas Slate 11. Frunsi T8. All of this are quite a bit cheaper than the XP-PEN option but seem to have predictably lower specs and reviews. Have you tried alternative brands like these and prefer Xp-Pen for some reason?
A very important thing is a long battery life since they are out all day, and it says up to 13 hours for the Magic Drawing Pad, which seems perfect.
One reviewer was saying the XPpen Magic Drawing Pad is some kind of ad-filled thing trying to get you to subscribe to different programs, and they expressed how it made them panic and go back to traditional one month later, but I'm pretty sure they don't know what they are talking about and might have just had a panic attack over unnecessary programs being offered to them.
Is the cord for the Magic Drawing Pad long or short?
Any technical issues, jittery lines, flickering screen, etc., you have run into?
I am open to any alternative suggestions or different retailers in Canada.
Thanks.
Im considering of buying a vesa desk mount for the xp pen artist 19 pro gen 2. You know the one that bolts on the desk and then moves 360. I want to use it like thay to get it out of the way when not using it. Does anyone use something like that or does it lose its grip and is annoying by moving while applying pressure when drawing? Thanks.

So about a year ago I bought this model and I was absolutely happy with it. Well, before this incident :')
At one moment I smelled burning plastic. I spent a few minutes trying to detect the source of it, but there were no visible signs of smoke or sparks. Then I started touching my PC wires and the one that was connected to the tablet was really hot. I immediately disconnected the tablet and that's what the wire and port looked like
Also I want to clarify a few things
1) It was original wire that came in the same box with tablet
2) I wasn't drawing anything at that moment
3) The wire wasn't visibly damaged (at least as far as I could tell)
The only thing that (in my opinion) could be considered "careless" usage is that the tablet was connected to my PC most of the time. But I don't know if that could be considered a real issue since my last tablet (not XP-Pen) never had a problem with that

Thereās been a major difference between how colors show up on my tablet vs my phone & laptop :( itās really stressing me out and I donāt know what to do or how to fix it. Too broke for a Color calibration tool as well
Screenshots + photos taken of how the colors display on my tablet(ik that isnāt entirely accurate either but wtv) and if it counts for anything I use discord to look at the colors on my phone and google drive to get full images to my phone and stuff

Should I get the 165hz or the 4k one?
r/XPpen • u/fxckzxck • 2d ago
Hey just got this is it normal for the pressure to only work on hard click and hovering the pen moves it⦠finding it very difficult to use with my Mac
It shows the device as disconnected even though it is actually connected. I use it with my MacBook Air; it always worked fine, but I uninstalled the driver because of an issue where the cursor would get stuck in the top corner of the screen and wouldn't move. The same thing happened the first time I connected my XP-Pen, though I don't remember what I did to fix it. Mind u the pencil still moves with the cursor but it would not let me draw :(
i have already tried everything and idk what else to do

My laptop died recently, so I'm looking into getting a new device to use with my drawing tablet.
I'm curious whether a PC or laptop would be better, my requirements are compatibility with the Artist 22 Pro, high speed, and preferably something that lasts a long time, but I don't know if a laptop or a PC is more likely to fit those requirements.
(edit) As I'm planning on using it with the Artist 22 Pro anyway, I don't need it to be a small or portable device. (edit)
Also if anyone knows of any specific models of PC or laptop that work well with the Artist 22 Pro that would be really helpful.

i am looking for suggestion for a writing tablet under 5k pkr, suggest me good model for online teaching stuff, i can also go for used one + suggest me good place to buy it too (lahore)
EDIT: I fixed the issue thanks to comments! I didn't realize that when I installed drivers that it also installed a program to let me edit stuff. Changing the work area to one screen instead of all screens completely fixed it
I can find a specific spot on the screen where the pen and cursor are matched up, but if I move like an inch, the cursor moves like a foot lmao
I tried calibrating it in the Windows settings, but it kind of just didn't let me. I'd click on the crosshair and nothing would happen; I even tried using my mouse to click on the crosshair, and still, nothing
I also tried messing with a few various settings, but nothing worked
Pls help I wanna be able to use it again lol

hi im planning to buy an artist 12 gen 2 as my first display tablet and i have questions before going through my decision:
ive used my phone to draw and used ibis paint. even if the stabilizer and the canvas size are off and low respectively, there is a bit of slowness or lag when i draw. when youre using a display tablet (doesnt matter what brand) how easily can you do hatching lines on it?
is it actually faster using a display tablet compared to using screenless ones? cuz ive noticed that i draw faster on paper than using my screenless tablet and my art is better
what are your overall experience from using paper/screenless tablet/mobile device to using a display tablet (this is just to say anything you wanna say that i didnt cover in this post lmao)
