First off, I ordered the Deco MW and use Windows 11. It’s great out of the box! It’s lightweight, has a long battery life, has a generous amount of re-programmable buttons, and it can directly connect to Bluetooth without using the receiver. Even before driver updates and installing the Pentablet App it still worked right out of the box as a basic drawing tablet. Though, after installing everything I realized how much more functionality I wanted, mainly with the Pentablet Application itself.
As someone who takes digital notes, I often use a lot of shortcuts. Commands such as Panning, Undo, and Redo – which are 2 input commands on a specific app I use – are easily configurable in Pentablet. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for 3 input commands, and actions that require you to hold the button to repeat the command multiple times. Trying to reprogram a button to take something like “ALT + W + 1” results in “ALT + W, 1” which is not the same. Additionally, reprogramming a button to zoom in (CTRL + SCROLL UP) didn’t work as intended. When I naturally held down my zoom button I expected it to continue zooming, instead it only zoomed in once and I had to press it repetitively to get what I wanted. The lack of options didn’t end there.
I’m familiar with using the mouse, so I prefer the Mouse mode since it uses relative coordinates and I can drag the cursor to the area I want, like how you lift the mouse and reposition it to move the cursor further when you run out of space. Unfortunately, mouse mode disables one of the most important features, Pen/Erase. The ability to toggle between Pen and Erase on the same button is essential and frees up one more button on the digital pen. I wish you can manually set a button to toggle between two actions, but that’s another feature left out of the software. If you want the Pen/Erase functionality, you have to get used to Windows Ink’s absolute coordinates which feels weird to me.
Oddly enough, even with all these flaws it still works great for digital note taking. Sure you can’t assign an action that uses 3 commands to a button, but you can simply drag the cursor and press that action on the screen. If you’re dead set on mouse mode, simply assign each button on the pen to Pen and Erase. Every issue has a solution, albeit slightly inconvenient.
I’ve used this for 3 months this school year and it’s worked perfectly. I can also walk around my classroom while teaching and record (screencast) lessons. I use Xournal (freeware) or Kami to load pdf’s and annotate lesson/homework problems. Then export them to post on my LMS (we use Google Classroom). I make screencasts of myself doing test/quiz reviews so students can play the video as many times as needed to understand the steps and post the pdf answer keys.
I really like the tablet, it works for my needs, but it’s not Bluetooth as listed. There is also no power button like the images. The one I have is medium and blue, and does not work with Bluetooth, only wired connection. Since that’s the case, it also doesn’t have a power button like the instruction guide says either. When you plug it in, it works. Just a heads up for those needing or wanting Bluetooth for sure.
La amo, muy buena para empezar como provincia te, súper ligera, fácil de entender, llevo 3 meses usándola y hasta ahora todo perfecto, lo único es que el lápiz no es rosado es negro y eso me choca un poco pero le pones un cocer y listo

I have already complained to Amazon about this. This XPPEN tablet is supposed to be a Bluetooth tablet. It will NOT connect to my UGreen5.3 USB dongle (which I also just bought new (from Amazon) and tested with my cellphone to work and show the BT symbol/icon) on my PC. The XPPEN will only connect to the ‘special’ dongle that XPPEN supplied. It does seem to work, somewhat, with a USB cable attached, but it still refuses to do/honor certain setting/commands, even in their own PenTablet app (or their so-called “driver”). I will not buy another tablet that comes with a Bluetooth dongle for fear that there is something “special” about THEIR dongle. The XPPEN dongle NEVER shows up a Bluetooth symbol/icon anywhere on my PC; they only show it on their product listings. Their customer support could not help to get this tablet running properly, just ‘sorta’ running, having to use a USB cable at that.
I can’t speak to how this is for advanced users, but I’m a beginner at 3D modeling (Blender) and 3D motion graphics (Unreal Engine), which is why I purchased this tablet. It has done an excellent job for me, not only in my 3D graphics applications, but also in GIMP, where I do a lot of my 2D graphics work. I’m using it to learn to draw as well, taking art classes focused on computer-based graphics art, and I find it easy to work with.
My only recommendation is that you plan on going into the software to change the orientation if you use it in other than landscape-left-facing, to change the orientation to your preferred orientation, as I have not figured out, yet (after a month) how to change my default setting to my preferred orientation setting. Other than that, it is a good, basic stylus tablet with good pressure sensitivity and smooth integration (wired) between my drawing programs and the tablet.
She loves it! It has been working great, so far. It took a little while to find an app that would allow it to work with her Samsung Galaxy S10 plus (after downloading the driver from the website). Tried a few different apps until we found one that worked. Still, though, we are happy with how it has been doing This is the first digital drawing pad that my 12 year old has had and she figured out how to use it fairly quickly. Plus, it’s cute and pink!
I recently had the pleasure of using the XPPen Deco MW, a versatile drawing tablet that has significantly improved my note-taking and painting experience. As a PhD student and university instructor, I rely heavily on digital tools for both professional and personal tasks, and this tablet has truly elevated my productivity and creativity.
Design and Color: The first thing that caught my attention was the sleek and stylish design of the XPPen Deco MW. The blue color choice not only adds a touch of elegance but also serves a practical purpose. It effectively conceals fingerprints and scratches, keeping the tablet looking pristine even with daily use.
Connectivity: The Bluetooth connectivity of the XPPen Deco MW is nothing short of remarkable. It seamlessly maintains a strong connection, even when I unplug the USB cable. This uninterrupted connectivity ensures that I can work without any frustrating interruptions or disconnects, providing a smooth and hassle-free experience.
Pencil: The included stylus is incredibly accurate and smooth, making it a joy to use. Its tilt feature is particularly valuable for digital painting, allowing for a more natural and nuanced drawing experience. Whether I’m sketching or painting, the stylus’s performance consistently impresses me.
Note-taking: As a PhD student and instructor, note-taking is an essential part of my daily routine. I had previously used the Deco mini7 & Wacom Intuos, but upgrading to the XPPen Deco MW has taken my note-taking to another level. The larger drawing area and improved stylus precision make writing and annotating documents a breeze. The tablet’s responsiveness ensures that my notes are clear and legible, which is vital for my teaching and research activities.
Bluetooth Connectivity with Mobile Device (iOS & Android): An additional feature worth mentioning is the seamless Bluetooth connectivity with my iPhone, which I use in conjunction with the iBisPaint X application.
Recommendation: In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend the XPPen Deco MW. It offers a remarkable combination of functionality, quality, and affordability. For the price, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a drawing tablet that matches the XPPen Deco MW’s capabilities.

Whether you’re a student, professional, or artist, this tablet is a valuable addition to your digital toolkit.

La he usado aproximadamente un mes y medio, todo bien. La textura y sensación al dibujar es preciosa, anteriormente usaba la star 06c y es una gran diferencia, la calidad del material es 10/10. Aun me sigo confundiendo con las teclas. pero igual son muy útiles. Si no tienes mucho presupuesto, es una buena opción.
This is a great tablet for aspiring new artists on a tight budget who are practicing their artistic skills. Don’t let it’s small size fool you. Bigger doesn’t mean better, and I was able to draw successfully on this tiny little tablet. As a professional artist, I started out with a tablet and pen, and even used it professionally in my early career as a Character Designer. Tablets haven’t changed much over the years, and this particular tablet met all of my expectations in response time and pressure sensitivity for thick and thin lines.
🌺QUALITY: The overall quality of this tablet is ok. It’s not excellent and the pen feels a bit too light. I like the size of the pen so this isn’t an issue for me. I have an old tablet from 2004 that exceeds the quality of this tablet and I was expecting better materials for a tablet in 2022. There isn’t anything overly special about this tablet other than the shortcut keys.
✅WHAT I LIKE: ▪️I like the size of the tablet. It’s compact and doesn’t take up much room at all on my desk. You would be surprised to learn that you don’t need a big tablet to achieve your artistic goals. ▪️I like the additional shortcut buttons on the side of the tablet. It has the main buttons you would need while drawing such as zoom in, zoom out, undo, brush, colour selector, move, etc. My favorite out of all of them is the pen button shortcut that is setup to switch to your eraser and then back to your brush. I found myself using this a lot. With all of that said, you can customize your shortcuts to your liking, but I think they nailed all of the main ones you need. ▪️Once I got the tablet working properly for my workspace, the accuracy was spot on. There was no lag at all and pressure sensitivity was also accurate.
❌WHAT I DON’T LIKE: ▪️This is the first tablet I’ve owned where I’ve never got a pen holder with it. It’s a good way to misplace your pen, which will happen – trust me! ▪️You get 11 extra pen nibs in case you wear them down. I found this really nice to have but also made me worry and wonder why I’d need so many. Lol! I’ve drawn everyday for years, and rarely have I ever had to change my pen nibs. I guess it depends on how heavy handed you may be. The additional pen nibs is not a dislike, but it leads me to my next issue. Where am I going going to store them? Usually you can place your additional pen nibs hidden within the pen holder, but since you don’t get a pen holder, they currently reside in a non resealable plastic baggy. These are destined to get lost or misplaced in my mysterious Bermuda Triangle drawer. Things go in there, never to be seen again!🫣
🦋SETUP: I hooked the XP-Pen tablet up to my PC. From there I needed to add the driver because without it, you won’t get the pressure sensitivity feature. The process was easy, you simply go to their website, download the driver, reboot your computer, and boom, you’re ready to go. This didn’t come without some problems though. For the first 10 minutes, the tablet decided to do it’s own thing and as I was scribbling, it would draw random straight lines. It wouldn’t do thick and thin lines and sometimes it wouldn’t even draw at all. I walked away from my computer to feed the dog, and when I came back the tablet was magically working. Not sure how it fixed itself, but it was ready for me to do a test run. I then noticed the drivers interfered with my Wacom tablet drivers. This isn’t totally unexpected though, and I had a feeling this could be an issue. For the time being, I had to put my professional drawing tablet aside. This could’ve been the weird issue from the get go. Also, when I started to draw circles, they became ovals. I needed to enter the xpen’s program to align the tablet space to my screen space. Depending on your situation you may need to customize as well. I have triple monitors, so obviously I had to fix this to my personal setup.
🎨OVERALL: This tablet is a great option if you’re a 3D artist and you’re just pushing and pulling to sculpt your design. I don’t recommend this to someone who is doing paid professional 2D work that requires precision and speed. Yes, I used tablets as a professional over 15 years ago, but that was a different time. Using this tablet reminded me why I needed to upgrade and why the studio HAD to switch to drawing screens. Speed being the main factor; you cannot get precision clean lines on the first try. You’ll be drawing and deleting for a few minutes before achieving the perfect line.
If you’re planning on being a professional 2D illustrator/artist, you’ll want something more advanced that has a drawing screen. Get the best possible drawing tablet you can afford. I’ve never heard of XP-Pen before and I noticed they sell drawing tablets with the screen!!! 😱 I’m not sure the quality is compatible to a higher end brand that I own, but the price of these drawing screens are certainly appealing and they have piqued my curiosity and interest as a professional. If I was a young student, I think this is the direction I would go. After being spoiled with a cintiq for over a decade, I now remember why I can never go back to a screenless tablet like this one. If you’ve NEVER had the luxury of drawing on a screen, you won’t notice or miss anything. Which is why this tablet will be enjoyed by my young son. This will encourage his love to film, edit videos, and add the occasional silly drawings he enjoys creating as a kid. It’s perfect for hobbyists young and old.
