Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium Bundle Professional 12" Drawing Tablet Wireless Graphic Tablet with Quick Keys Ultrathin Drawing Pad with 2 Battery-Free Pens 8192 Levels Pressure for Win-ARM/Win/Mac/Linux

I have been using a Wacom Intuos Pro medium every day for several years, and as it was looking a little tired, I was browsing Amazon to see if they had updated it at all and came across this Xencelabs product, of which I hadn't previously heard. The specs were good and the price about the same as the current Wacom product (apparently unchanged for several years) so I ordered one. First impressions are very positive. Compared to the Wacom, the positives of the Xencelabs product are 1) wireless connectivity works seamlessly. I never could get the Wacom to work adequately - very laggy if it would connect at all, and I always used it wired, so the Xencelabs product is a big step forward. 2) Driver - Designing a third party peripheral that has to work with both Windows and Adobe products must be challenging. I felt Wacom were always playing catchup with the other two companies, and recently I have been having to regularly refresh the Photoshop workspace as it often seems to lose connectivity with the Wacom tablet. It's early days with the Xencelabs tablet, but so far it has worked flawlessly; I guess the test will come when either or both of Windows or Adobe do some sort of update. Setting up the Xencelabs tablet was a breeze - it connected immediately via bluetooth with no problems. I am still working out the optimum configuration and placement of the little 'Quick Keys' device which contains the fully configurable scroll wheel and short-cut buttons. I love how the text updates according to which app you are using. In fairness, the Wacom system did the same, but using an on-screen display, and in some ways that was slightly better as you didn't have to look away from the monitor. Both systems have multiple pages of shortcuts that can be accessed, but I find that if I have to press more than one button to get to a function, I am more included to use the keyboard. The Xencelabs tablet also works well with internet browsers for scrolling and zooming which I never even attempted with the Wacom. So, in summary, after only a very short time with the Xencelabs graphics tablet, I find the biggest advantage over the Wacom is the connectivity - at last I can use my tablet wirelessly and the first set of drivers that I downloaded on set-up work extremely well with Photoshop and Lightroom in a Windows 10 environment. The other features - the separate button pad is a nice touch, but the functionality is pretty similar to that of Wacom, just differently presented. It's nice and fun to use with various coloured light options. The supplied 3 button pen works well, although I can only comfortably use the lower and middle buttons. They also provide a slim pen, but that's too thin for me to find comfortable. I love the glove they provide in the box - I always meant to get a Wacom one, but never got round to it. The pen case is very robust, but the only thing in it that I need to use on a regular basis is the one pen, so I have reverted to using the Wacom pen stand that I already had. They also include a very smart carrying case which will contain the tablet and the pen case and all the cables that you might need, but since I only work in one location now, I can't see me using that. Overall then - a very well implemented and functional graphic tablet. I would definitely recommend one of these vs a Wacom Intuous Pro Medium if you don't already have a tablet. If you are replacing an existing tablet, the decision is more nuanced. The properly functioning wireless connection and reliably functioning driver are the biggest plusses for me - I guess you need to decide if that's worth the money for you.

I've had my Wacom tablet for 12 years and it's given a reliable and enjoyable experience for all that time. However the inevitable wear and tear had me looking for a replacement and based on extensive research and reading numerous reviews I decided to have a look at this make. I've not been disappointed. Installation and set up was much easier than my previous model. The tablet and pen work very well and on all the software I use. The drawing surface is great to use and the interaction is smooth and without lag. The quick key box has proven to be most useful and is easily configurable. The build quality of the entire bundle is excellent. Overall a really good piece of kit.

Not sure if it is connecting properly or it's calibration works smoothly. I use Blender a lot and it seems somehow less accurate than my old Wacom was. That became obsolete due to refusal to update drivers (worked totally fine, could have gone for years longer) so had to upgrade. I like having more buttons and there is more functionality. I am not sure it is drawing where I am drawing... and there seems no way to calibrate manually. Might just be about getting use to it from a much older tablet but right out the box and using it for a few weeks I am getting that sore-feet feeling.

I had been using the same brand of tablet for at least two decades and was happy for the most part with the results. However, it seemed to me that the largest tablet manufacturer in the world had become quite complacent over the last few years, and after some recent driver issues, I decided to give Xencelabs a try. I had heard good things and read many reviews. I have to say, I am very impressed. NO driver issues, everything just works. The build quality is top notch, the wireless setup works well, and my overall experience has been very good. Also love the surface of the tablet, it seems to be immune to the scratching my old model suffered from. The set I purchased came with two pens in their own case, a separate carrying case for the tablet and the Shortcut Keys device, which is very useful. All at a price better than the top brand. Could not be happier with my purchase, very glad I took the chance.

This tablet is one of the best purchases I've ever made. I was using an old wacom intuos for many years and I thought it was time for an upgrade. I was sick of wacoms shoddy software and the tablet was getting a bit worn out. This tablet has extremely good wireless latency, and is nice and compact in front of my keyboard. It's software is nice and clean and unintrusive. Also one of the best things is the addition of the thin pen, its so much nicer to use than those old thick pens. Also those white pen nibs with the slight texture are really nice to use, I ended up buying a whole pack of them.

Absolute cracking piece of Kit. Great quality. Good weight to it. I would highly recommend this if you are serious about photography work on your computer.

I found the pen and tablet was straight forward and I didn't even download the drivers as I connected it worked straight away so I could use my Photoshop wonderful 👍

After using a W**** for many years it is nice to find one that works straight out of the box. The two pens are useful, would have preferred it to work with the laptop's bluetooth instead of taking up one of the USB slots but happy overall.

Love this tablet. Easy set up and lovely to use.

Mesmo sendo caro, é um dos melhores tablets sem tela que tem (pau a pau com o intuos pro).

I initially brought a Wacom tablet because it was supposed to be the best. Big mistake. I continually had trouble with the drivers on the Wacom and it was pretty disappointing. So far the xcenlab tablet out performs the wacom tablet in everyway. It is brilliant. I love using it.

4台目のペンタブとなります。 ペンタブは仕事でマウス代わりとして使用しています。 (手書き資料作成、リモート会議でのホワイトボード機能で使用。イラストは会議中の補足説明用落書きレベル。) イラスト作成目線でのレビューはできませんのでご了承ください。 使い始めて思った印象は、とにかく描き心地が良いです。 板の表面はツルツルではなく、サラサラという表現が一番しっくりきます。 ペンで描いているときは、紙に鉛筆で描いている時の感覚に近く、程よい抵抗があってとても描きやすいと感じました。 今までずっとXP-PENさんの板タブ・液タブを使ってきていますが、 表面がツルツルなのでシートや紙を貼らないと少し描きにくかったです。 それと比べても本体そのままで描き心地が良いので、このペンタブには何も貼らずにそのまま使用しています。 板表面も硬そうな素材なので描いていても簡単には傷はつきそうにないです。 XP-PENさんのDeco LW(シート貼ってます)との比較写真を載せました。 本体の横サイズはさほどDeco LWとは変わりませんが、縦サイズがやや大きいです。 重量はこのペンタブの方が重いです。デザインはスマートですが意外とガチっとしているので作業時に机上で動いてしまうことがないです。 また本体の下側が緩やかなカーブになっています。この造りのおかげで作業時に服の袖を引っ掛ける事故が起きにくく嬉しいです。 無線使用時、Deco LWと比べて長い時間、バッテリーにて稼働してくれます。 2日間充電しなくても仕事し続けられました。 操作時の遅延も特に感じませんでした。きびきび動いてくれます。 また、2種類のペンが付属していますが、2本ともグリップがしっかりしていてすべらないので指が疲れにくいです。 今まではプラスチックのすべすべのペンで、100均で購入したグリップをつけて対処していましたが、このペンはそのまま使っても描きやすいです。 替え芯もPOMとフェルトの2種類入ってますが、これは試したうえで好みのを使うのが良さそうですね。 ペンが2種類入っているのでそれぞれ芯を変えて準備してても面白いかもしれません。 なお、これくらいの価格帯のペンタブだと普通なのかもしれませんが、ペン先の沈みはありませんでした。 板本体にカスタマイズ可能な3つのボタンがついていますが、これが本体の上側についているのがとても助かっています。 今まで使用していたペンタブのボタンは、本体の左側についていましたが、これがペンタブの奥にキーボードを配置して使用する私にとっては手首や腕に当たって誤操作してしまう原因になっておりストレスになっていました。 上部配置のボタンはキーボードを操作していても手の平の下の浮いた部分にくるので手に当たることがなく誤操作は無くなりました。 ボタンが3つと少な目なことも誤操作防止につながっているのかと思います。 本体のボタンが少ないから不便かといえば、クイッキーズがあるおかげでまったく不便はしていません。 アクティブになっているアプリケーションにより自動で切り換わるボタンが8個ついてます。 この8個のボタンにショートカットを自由に登録できますが、1つのアプリケーションに対して5セットのショートカットを登録できます。 (1アプリに対し8ボタン×5セット=合計40 登録可能) このショートカットのセット切り替えはクイッキーズ本体についているボタンで手動切替可能です。 ダイヤルもカスタマイズ可能で、こちらにはアプリケーション毎に4セット登録可能になっています。 これもダイヤル真ん中のボタンを押すことでセット切り替えが可能です。 ダイヤルはショートカットだけでなく、回転方向や回転の感度も調整できるのがありがたいです。 ペンにもカスタマイズ可能なボタンがついているので、キーボードを触る機会が減りました。 クイッキーズは向きを自由に変えられるのも嬉しい機能でした。ダイヤルを上下左右好きな方向に置けるのは助かります。 (ディスプレイの文字もクイッキーズの向きに合わせて変更されます) また、板本体に設計されているボタンとは違い、本体から離して好きなところに置けるのも良いですね。 キーボード操作時の邪魔にならない場所に置いて使用できるので誤操作がありません。 クイッキーズ本体はスマホくらいの重さで、本体裏は全面滑り止めがついているので、操作時に動いてしまうことも無くとても快適です。 こちらも無線で動きます。前回はいつ充電したか忘れるくらい長時間稼働します。 セット内容にはペンタブ収納用のケースがついてきます。かなりしっかりした造りで良いケースだと思います。 蓋はマジックテープで閉じるタイプです。ジッパーだと金具で本体に傷が入る時があるのでこの方が余計な心配をせず使えます。 ポケットは2個ついていて、メインのポケット内側はふわふわの柔らかい生地が使用されているのでしっかりと傷から守ってくれそうです。 (エレコムのマイクロファイバーのクリーニングクロスみたいなふわふわ生地) サブのポケットにはペンケースやクイッキーズを入れても余裕で蓋ができます。 気になるのはサブのポケット内側は硬い生地なので、移動中に擦れてクイッキーズの画面に傷が入りそうなところです。 ペンケースのようにクイッキーズ用のケースがあっても嬉しかったですね。あったら買います…笑 クイッキーズのサイズはモバイルバッテリーくらいになりますので、今はモバイルバッテリー用の袋に入れたうえでケースに収納しています。 USBのType-c変換アダプタが付属しています。 XP-PENさんのDeco LWのようにスマホにつなげられるのかな？と思い試してみましたが無理でした。(一瞬だけカーソル出たのですが数秒後に消えました) あくまでPC専用なのかもしれません。 2本指のグローブもついてきます。このセットの専用でしょうか、カラーはグレーです。 ペンタブをマウス代わりで使う私にとってはグローブはキーボード操作時に邪魔になるので使っていませんが、 このグローブにしても接続用のUSBケーブルにしてもテーマカラーを崩さない所にこだわりが感じられます。 長々と書きましたが、ひとつひとつが丁寧なつくりになっていて好印象です。 安っぽさがなくインテリアにしても良いんじゃないかと感じてしまうくらいです。 まだまだ続きそうなテレワークの環境をワンランク上げてくれました。 これからの新製品、ドライバの強化にも期待しています。

I was imppressed with the packaging and everything you get In the bundle. Sadly I did not see $48 coupon that could have been applied to my purchase so be mindful of anything like that when you go through checkout. After one week I am certainly happy with the pen tablet and the 2 pens that came with it. The express keys are a bit of a learning curve deciding the shortcuts macros and actions I will assign to the buttons and sets. Over all I am very happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend this product. Check out The Review by Glen Dewis on YouTube it is bang on.
