Is this review still somewhat relevant or is there a better one for about the same prize? Also has the performance of this one kept up with the times?

[@teohyc]

@@jonteguy It's still relevant. Deco series is XP-Pen's best tablet in term looks, build quality and drawing performance.

a very insightful review, please keep it up!! i've always been on the traditional side of art but your reviews are what persuaded me to take on digital art too.

This tablet is the best btw. The texture help you so much for not easily slip or got hurt at the hand.

[@TidOwObiT]

I was just about to buy the deco 1 when I found this in xp pen’s new listing. I went straight to youtube to see if it’s any good, and just as expected, not that many reviews are out yet. That was about 5 weeks ago, and after brad colbow’s and your review, I’m finally convinced to fork out a few more bucks to get the small over the deco 1. Thanks!

[@MegaRajesh1984]

By your review I bought this tablet and I lov it thank you for this review

[@saujanyaroy4942]

I have been doing traditional art for 12 years now and it was since last year that I started weighing my options to go fully digital. At first I thought that no way I was going to learn the hand-eye coordination all over again as if I was just new to art but then the screen tablets are really expensive. So, after looking through reviews, I found this tablet which offers so much in such an affordable price. I am so glad that Xp-pen has it's own shop in my country so that I don't have to pay extra money to get it exported here. Definitely going for this.

[@johneyjoseph1318]

If you are a experienced artist I would suggest getting one with screen. Innovator 16 is pretty good price.

[@AshBlast333]

Thank you so much for this video! I notice you just uploaded yesterday which is good timing since I have been debating on this tablet vs the deco 03. Definitely going with this one! Thanks again.

[@kohkombero]

What made you choose this over Deco 3? Are you satisified with your choice? I am slightly torn between these two options (Deco Pro SMALL and Deco 03 Medium) --> Pro has tilt function (don't require it at least yet) and more advanced control wheel, BUT Deco 03 is wireless, screen estate slightly bigger and RPS (response rate) is higher 266 (vs. Deco Pro ~200). Especially regarding to last one my question is also to @Teoh Yi Chie: do you recall if there was any noticable difference in lag compared to Deco 03 you've reviewed last year?

[@harpreetsinghgrover]

@kohko: I too was confused between deco 03 and deco pro small, finally placed my order today for deco pro small. Checked, deco 03's area is too large and weight would also increase accordingly. Deco pro small : decent size (not sure why they call it small), android connectivity, dial is much better and usability is more than deco 03, weight is lesser (easier to carry), wired (definitely a con here but I guess we will have to sit in front of screen in any case of I think this is also fine), tilt function is a plus (missing in deco 03). Plus stylus is better in case of deco pro, nib is much better, best point got it for $ 123 almost $ 30-40 cheaper than deco 03. My first tablet, I'm excited for this.

please reply. 1) which pen is better to work with between the Deco pro and Deco 03? and 2) if i buy one of the xp pen tablets will i lose something if i compare with wacom intuos pro tablets and pro pen2 ? My main concerns are compatibility, features, durability, no jitter in thin and slow strokes. i don't want to compromise with these. if i have to i am ready to spend more and buy intuos pro. but if i get these with xp pen tablets i don't want to buy an intuos pro. please reply. i need opinion from an artist's stand point.

[@01_zenyobi]

Well, I'm not an experienced Artist. But I'm quite experienced in Pentab and Drawing monitor recommendation. Still, since you only want from artist stand point, I have copy your question into my Friend blog. He would give proper answer for you, sine I'm not as experienced as him. Btw, there's not much difference between Deco 03, Deco Pro, and Intuos Pro. They're easily comparable.

[@01_zenyobi]

Hey there, For your questions: 1) I believe the XP-Pen Deco Pro pen works better, although only slightly better due to how the pen has a slightly different inner mechanism which holds the pen nib better. 2) With regards to compatibility, features, durability, and no jitter, I believe the XP-Pen Deco Pro satisfies features, durability, and no jitter. However, I am not completely sure about compatibility. All I can say is that it will work with “most major programs”, so programs like Photoshop, Clip Studio Paint, Corel Painter, Medibang, Krita, Sketchbook, etc. If you are not sure about the compatibility with your program, it would be a very good idea to ask XP-Pen directly whether the tablet is compatible with your program(s). I hope that helps, Nikage" Be sure to visit his blog digitalarttabletguides.wordpress.com/ He has done a lot of review with Wacom, XP pen, huion, and a lot of other tablet (with screen or without screen). I got a lot of knowledge form his site...

[@aditya.pratama]

I hope there is drawing tablet that can be used for 3D modeling (CAD/CAM), cause using mouse and keyboard make my hand fatigue. Usually people that work here using trackball or space mouse. But I think it would be better if we using drawing tablet too cause it feel more natural and comfort. I use XP Pen Deco Pro for now, but the problem is 3D manipulating view that can be done using this tablet flawlessly, I must use combination shortcut, pen button, and pen move to rotate/pan, and also the zoom scroll wheel is not smooth enough.

[@dhirachakraborty9696]

Would love to know how does it compare with the intuos pro. I have so far been using intuos 5 and now recently it went Kaput. So I am looking out to buy a new tablet. I cam across this review and definitely want to consider buying /trying XP Deco.

[@teohyc]

These Wacom alternatives are very good. These brands have been around for a very long time, and they get better and better.

[@01_zenyobi]

Well, it's way comparable to Wacom Intuos Pro, since it has Alloy body and 8 buttons shortcut+2 wheel. The texture won't run off easily and it doesn't eat Nib like breakfast. But The best thing about this tablet is, The Nib won't roll to the flat side in the pen !!!!!

[@teohyc]

Both will perform the same for photo retouching.

[@sachinvaghela7217]

its 11x6 medium size one...

[@iamtehawsomepwner]

Don't usually ask explicitly for advice myself, but I'd been really conflicted on the decision here. I've got a Huion H950P and its held up, but I've also basically only ever used Huion and wondered how others hold up and actually feel to use. Would you say there's really anything much different in terms of feel and performance to justify buying this and using it over the H950P? The wheel, look, and Android function look appealing, but I'm still hesitant.

[@01_zenyobi]

If you really need Android functionality, just keep using the H950P. All you had to do is Upgrade your H950P firmware to the newest firmware using Huion Firmware tool. Don't bought XP pen if all you need is for Android functionality (except G640S). Because XP pen use all of the tablet active area for Android, which means it would be tiring for your arm because you need to move so much. while Huion Only use 1/3 part of it so it would smaller and match with the screen and making it not too big. So it would be comfortable and not tiring your arm.

[@01_zenyobi]

I got this answer from bringing the question to a good tablet blog : "Hey there, You have a good question there! I would say that all the tablets from Wacom, Huion, and XP-Pen (these three being the 3 I think are the best right now) that I have tried are relatively the same in terms of performance, but somewhat different in terms of feel. For other companies, the performance is hit-or-miss and is often quite a bit worse than the main 3. With regards to Wacom, Huion, and XP-Pen, like I said earlier their pens perform to around the same quality, but the feel of their tablets are slightly different. -For instance, Wacom and XP-Pen usually use very rough textures, whereas Huion uses smoother textures (although they’re trying rougher ones on newer tablets). A rougher texture feels more like drawing on paper, but it causes pen nibs to wear more and the texture eventually wears off after a fair bit of use, so the texture type is a bit of trade-off and is individual preference. -Another difference is that Wacom pen nibs move very little from min to max pressure, whereas Huion and XP-Pen pen nibs move a bit more. Because of this, drawing with Wacom’s pen feels a bit “harder”, while Huion and XP-Pen pens feel springy-er. Again, this is individual preference and doesn’t affect drawing performance. When it comes to the XP-Pen Deco Pro, I wouldn’t say it’s worth buying a whole new tablet just to replace your working Huion H950P. The pen performance of the Huion H950P is just about as good as the pen performance on the XP-Pen Deco Pro, so all you would be getting is a rougher textured surface, Android compatibility (if I’m not mistaken, the H950P has that too, and you can ask Huion support about it), and the touch/physical wheel. I don’t think there’s any advantage to the XP-Pen Deco Pro aside from that. I hope that helps," Nikage

[@kiren3168]

@@01_zenyobi I wish huion was a little less springy.currently its impossible to go from high pressure to low pressure as the pen nib would be pressed and won't release unless you lift off the pen. The xp pen deco pro has a different nib. It looks like wacoms nibs. Not like the huion nib which has a spring like structure. I wish I went for this xp pen deco pro. I realized that I really don't like display tablets. Some offset issues makes me look at the cursor anyway so what's the point. I just wish huion releases a different pen for the kamvas pro series

[@01_zenyobi]

@@kiren3168 Hmm ? What Huion do you use ? H950P ? Hs610 ? Impossible, it's either you got Defective tablet or pen, or you got Hs610 pressure jump problem.. Its always possible to go from high to low, my friend were able to do that easily (in his Huion H640P, H950P, H1060P, Hs610 with the same pen, as he own all of them and test them in digitalarttabletguides.wordpress.com/) Edit: Well, after reading your comment carefully, it seems you got a Defective Pen !! You can contact Huion for this problem and use the 1-Year-Warranty to get pen replacement (or bought it yourself if the warranty is over. It only cost 20-30$ for the pen depends on your country). And also, The Huion Kamvas series uses PW500 (or PW507 for some) that were less springy to lower the tension that were given to the screen.. Still, It were based of PW100 pen from Huion battery free pens.

[@kiren3168]

@@01_zenyobi Hi thank you for your comment. I am struggling with the PW507 pen. It came with the huion Kamvas pro 16. I love the tablet very high quality it's just that the pen nib feels flimsy and hard to maintain. The tablet is very sensitive to pressure but the pen nib retracts a little bit on the very high end and between the mid range and low range. So basically when I press it lightly it retracts a little bit and then when I press heavily it retracts a lot. And while it's pressed down I can go from the high end to the low end as the nib would be pressed a little inside the tablet and the only way to achieve the lightest strokes would be to lift off the pen to release the nib. I don't know maybe it's how the pen is designed and not a faulty pen. I really like huion (they improved their calibration now too) I just wish they would wok on their pens nibs. I really want a firm nib not a flimsy one

does this work with one note?... im interested taking notes not sketching or drawing purely for taking notes during meetings etc.., what is ur suggestion

[@gg31hh]

I m an Architectural designer (uses for AutoCAD, Sketchup, Revit, ArchiCAD, Blender, Photoshop, Indesign, Premier), planning to migrate from Wacom to Xp pen Deco Pro.. and I need to make sure if the pen tablet be suitable for my 3D artist work flow. I was hoping anyone who has it can help to answer few of my question as this would effect the workflow. The driver in the website has a version of "XP-PENWin_3.0.8.201225(New UI Beta Driver)" Question: 1. From my research digging information from reviewers and PDF from Deco Pro website - How come the older driver dial and touch dial has 5 slots each, while the new UI has only 4 slots each (additionally mac driver has 6 slots each?) 2. Upon my research, I would like to know if it is possible to have zoom in and zoom out to be allocated to just 1 button at pen barrel? (ie. by holding on the button, moving the pen forward or backward will simulate zoom in n zoom out) 3. Is the Beta driver stable enough for daily driver? 4. Based on my research on reviewers, the mouse + keyboard key combination for custom express key, can only be found in newer UI driver and not on the official driver? 5. the New UI driver will have the ability to have individual app presets for the pen barrel buttons? This is important as I am using multiple apps with their individual way to zoom, rotate and pan 6. does XP pen has same windows ink issue as Wacom (pressure sensitivity in some prog will not work if windows ink is not activated)? You help will be much appreciated and I hope these question able to encourage regular wacom user to consider alternative pentablet. Finally, Can someone do a video showing the new UI driver. Pen tablet will only be as useful as the driver it provide.

[@teohyc]

1. The driver should recognise the tablet and allow you to customise all the ExpressKeys and dial. 2. That zoom shortcut has to be done with keyboard or ExpressKeys. E.g. Ctrl + Space and then drag your cursor to zoom. 3. Beta driver seems okay but I've not tested this for extended period of time so I can't say for sure. 4. The driver functionality is similar for new and old driver. It's just the driver UI that looks different. 5. You can create shortcut sets for specific apps you use. 6. They usually have Windows Ink issues regardless of brand. You have to toggle Windows Ink on or off to troubleshoot.

[@01_zenyobi]

From inexperienced user perspective, all you may only notice that XP pen and Wacom mostly use Rough texture. While Huion mostly use smoother texture (even though Huion tries to use rougher texture on their newer tablet).

[@kohkombero]

Thank you for a great video; based on this either Deco Pro or Deco 03 are safe choices for a budget friendly 1st tablet. You have reviewed both Deco 3 and Pro; would you choose this over Deco 3? I am slightly torn between these two options (Deco Pro SMALL and Deco 03 Medium) --> Pro has tilt function (don't require it at least yet) and more advanced control wheel, BUT Deco 03 is wireless, screen estate slightly bigger and RPS (response rate) is higher 266 (vs. Deco Pro ~200). Especially regarding to last differencce: do you recall if there was any noticable difference in lag compared to Deco 03 you've reviewed last year? (Based on what I found, RPS of 200+ should be enough, but was there a better response on the Deco 03?)

[@01_zenyobi]

Deco Pro is way better. It has way cooler design that even win Red Dot and Good Design Award. The body also build better for left hand user. The tablet itself has more button (8 buttons and 2 wheel, 1 physical and 1 virtual wheel). The Deco 03 only have 6 button and one wheel. The pen is better since it would hold the Nib better so it won't roll to the flat side (even Wacom haven't achieve this yet). While the XP pen Deco 03 have their ususal pen that would roll to the flat side after drawing sometime. Not a big deal, since Wacom tablet have this problem too. The texture is scratch resistant and won't worn off easily, and it won't eat Nib like breakfast. Even if your Nib needs to be replaced, you already get 8 replacement. And even if you run out of replacement, there's 100 Nib pack of replacement for 10 dollar (yeah, 100 nibs. It's overkill, but useful). On the other hand, Deco 03 had easily worn texture after some time of working. It's not a big deal too, since worked texture can still be drawn on. Also Wacom Intuos pro Pth-650 had this problem too anyway. Now, let's talk about size. The active area of the Deco Pro Small maybe sound smaller that Deco 03. But actually, they both at the same range of Wacom Medium tablet size range (8×5 - 11×6 range). So it won't make a big difference to be considered as a factor. Then, about response rate, that's not a real thing. It's hard to actually count the response rate of Nowadays tablet without specialized hardware or High speed camera. That's why its not necessary to be take Into factor. And last, the wireless. It's really bad because it has delay even in real close range. It's so bad that its better to consider that this tablet doesn't have wireless functionality at all.

[@kohkombero]

@@01_zenyobi Hi, thank you for your thorough reply. I've bought myself the Deco Pro already a couple of weeks ago and have been very satisfied. So basically I agree with all the points you're making. Sizewise it's more than enough and having the double scroll wheel + 8 buttons there are plenty shortcuts you can assign. Durable made; e.g. my daughter used accidently the other side of the pen on the tablet, but no visible scratches on the surface.

For that kind of work, you may want to choose a smaller tablet. Like Huion Hs64 or XP Pen G640S for example. Because when you're using for PowerPoint or presentation, you will tend to move a lot across the screen. So basically, using larger tablet would be tiring and inefficient

Hi, would you still recommend this today?

[@teohyc]

Yes

[@prreettz]

Hi, Is it good for online teaching? Thanks

[@teohyc]

It is

[@artbybenjamin]

Connecting to an Android Phone, interesting. An alternative to buying a Samsung Note, though I prefer drawing on a screen directly. Nice review.

[@JACKjcs]

the pen tapering is a big deal? i read this tablet have this problem, maybe they can fix it with a update, im really interested.

[@teohyc]

It's natural for the lines to taper when you are drawing with a real brush. So for the digital brush not to taper nicely is unnatural

[@JACKjcs]

@@teohyc oh, thanks, then this can be my first tablet.

[@richamishra9673]

Can you please tell m wacom deco pro or intuos s Bluetooth one? Which one a beginner should get

[@teohyc]

Functionality is similar so just get the design you like better.

[@carolinemeyer8306]

i just got one of these, and its amazing other than the fact that my pen pressure/sensitivity is really messed up. i've tried all the different drivers offered and none of them fixed it. there's barely any sensitivity, and i have to push very hard to get it to respond, so i can't get thin lines. any ideas on how i can fix this?

[@teohyc]

Is that problem on all drawing software? Maybe it’s the pen. I’m not sure. Contact XP Pen and see what they say

[@buppo8931]

drawing softwares such as krita has tablet listings on the website that tell you what tablets they support and tablets they don't, it says most xp pen have had trouble responding. with certain random exceptions as well

[@feedtheorist9944]

what happened with this? would you recommend against this product?

[@이민수-m6n]

How to control the speed of the pen ? My pen movement is too slow.

[@teohyc]

You can set the speed with the driver

[@이민수-m6n]

@@teohyc Where is the driver?

[@erasmoarriolavillasenor23]

HELP: Hello, thank you very much I have a little bigger problem, and it is that I just bought the deo pro small and in the computer destined for this tablet when I install any driver the mouse (trackpad) is disabled, at first I thought it was the configuration (that is disabled when it detects another mouse), but when I connect any other usb mouse right there the trackpad returns and both work (trackpad and usb mouse) please help what can I do? because the idea is to use it with a laptop and not be carrying an additional mouse. Thank you so much

[@feliciabalza7474]

Pressure sensitivity doesn't correspond to brush size in PS6 at all ((( tried different drivers - still nothing. + sensitivity in Tablet setting in showing either almost 0 or the highest levels, nothing in the middle, no matter what setting of "input / output" curves are set up...it's my old photoshop, the pen or the tablet itself is not working? ((( tried the newest driver...but how to find older ones?

[@teohyc]

First test with other apps to see if the problem is specific to Photoshop or it's a hardware problem. Test with Krita and Medibang Paint Pro. For older software contact XP-Pen. Or contact XP-Pen support to tell them your problem

[@tahseensaad7860]

Which one is better xp deco pro or xp deco o3?

[@raviguptha2502]

Did you purchase any one? I was wondering the same. What's Your opinion?

[@tahseensaad7860]

@@raviguptha2502 yes, xp deco 03 working properly. It depends on what you need. Deco pro works for phone devices. But xp-pen deco 03 is far better since it can work only for computer and laptops. Also I recommend to check the specifications for each one. And also look for the one that could suits your requirements.

On macos Mojave 10.14.6 the latest drivers just don't work..I tried on 3 different Macbooks for my testing. It works fine if the tablet area is selected as full wrt to the screen size..as soon as you change the tablet area...you will initially experience lag and if you keep the pen idle for few minutes and get back to drawing then the real problem starts...you will see the cursor will stop at certain coordinate of the screen and won't move at all!!.. I configured the trackpad to zoom in and zoom out and once the cursor was stuck i had to zoom in zoom out several times and then the cursor would move...its weird...even the tech support was unable to resolve the issue which simply means the testing of the latest driver for mac was not done properly. The application I tested it on is photoshop cc 2018 and even on plain screen I experienced similar issue . A great tablet ruined by poor drivers and poor support! Note- you would have to perform certain extra steps in accessibility in macos Mojave if you dare to purchase it.

[@teohyc]

MacOS 10.14.6 was just released only. Give it some time. I don't typically update my MacOS until few months later because the I NEED the apps to work or I won't be able to work.

@@01_zenyobi thanks for the reply

[@01_zenyobi]

@@imgolden9072 if you want a better tablet for Android phone, I reccomend either XP Pen G640S and Huion Hs64. It has small size that would fit better for Android phone screen. The Huion only use 1/3 of active area when used in Android, while the XP Pen use all active area for android. But, you can't go wrong with either of those two choice, since you will get used to the size anyway. As long your phone is not a Samsung phone, it should work.
