This is XP-Pen's latest pen tablet. It's an affordable pro level drawing tablet comparable to Wacom's Intuos tablets. What makes this one special is that it's wireless.

I swear....if only this technology could've existed back in 2008 when I had my old wacom bamboo tablet
My mom bought me the paint tool sai software when i was like 10 (so like around 2007-2008ish) I didn't even know drawing tablets existed, neither did my mom apparently. So I had to use the lasso tool....with my mouse......I saw some speed-paints and just thought people hand super steady hands lol 😭
@@elleycam lmaooooooooooo
@@alligator64 Yeah.....🤣 it was a struggle
@@elleycam wow, I did the same but with Ps before getting my first ipad
😂.
I've been using this tablet for half a year now and so far its performance was great. I use it with my phone and laptop and it works well with both. Just be careful not to drop the pencil or else you'll need to replace it for a new one.
Why?
Which aap would u recommend to use with this device on android phone.
@@kratikasingh6315 how is your new Deco mini 7 tablet?
is the work space not too small? i plan on using it everyday for a long time
@@kratikasingh6315 the best for me is ibis paint.
Art is my only way to run away without leaving home .😂
I agree
@@harashimakyouko3944 👍👍
reading, singing, writing, gaming too
@@Aka-wy7iw that's the next level 😂
Didn't you say this in ergojosh's video as well?
At long last he did it! Been waiting for the review of this tablet. Thank you Brad. Your videos are basically Netflix for drawing tablet enthusiasts and artists.
Thanks we need these kinds of reviews
Brad's voice is music to my ears UwU
For me too
haha, thanks!
@@thebradcolbow is Brad's voice music for you?
His voice gives me that cowboy vibe
ŰwŰ
Ive transitioned to a laptop and this might be helpful in photo editing. Perfect size to carry along anywhere. Thanks Brad.
he always says this video is sponsored by square space all the goddamn time never gets old
I just bought a Deco Mini to draw on my phone and wish I knew this existed before I bought it. Looks like the difference is them adding wireless to it. The more options the better. I wonder if a Deco Display Tablet is in the works.
This dude has anti aging potion
Lol ikr
lol
Go vegan.
I greatly appreciate your simple explanations, as they'd be very informative to someone who's new to digital art!
This is amazing... Twice the amount of pressure levels & shortcut keys compared to a Wacom’s lower end tablets. I wish I could’ve started w/ this when I first started digital Art. 😭 Also, Im addicted to your vids Brad.
Thank u soooooo much Brad cuz of u I got my graphics tablet for animation and I M a 11 yr old
I recently bought a pen tablet based on your other review. I have been a Wacom user for a long time and wanting to explore other brand can offer. So after I got the (non-Wacom) tablet - I noticed that the driver isn't well refined or inflexible or many limitation.
Ie. the assign prog for that preset only work for the express key and not the pen; other example is those that some shortcut cannot be assign on pen button2&3 but able to assign to the pen-tablet express keys; another example is u cant assign mouse scroll/right click/ middle click on the dial or the express keys.
What I am saying is that, perhaps you can provide review based "not just" what they have in driver but what is their limitation. As some of the missing feature (based from Wacom driver) can be a deal breaker for some.
To me, the driver (software) is equally important as the hardware itself.
Brad very nice review.. Thanks
Great review! What would you recommend for an artist who wants to take his artwork to the next level? I'm thinking "ipad pro" down the line, but for now... what would be my next best step? Wacom? Or this little drawing pad? Any free programs to look out for? Your input is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
"if you're a heavy drawer"
why yes Bradley, I am an Ikea Helmer drawer
I was wondering the same thing 🤔
thank you for the very helpful reviews. I ran into the problem that there are no good convenient drawing programs for Lenovo tablets. without a laptop, a book and a photoshop. very inconvenient to control overlay transparency and more. Thank you for your review huion hs 1161 I was presented with this, I am very pleased. but the programs are imperfect on the tablet. I used to draw a book on a laptop. but my laptop book broke. now I just paint with watercolors on paper)
Brad is the coolest
hey brad a quick question
this one or veikk a15pro pls help me
like always excellent video !!
Would really like to see these companies give Linux some love. My drawing screens are now about the only thing tying me to windows. Even games now mostly work fine in Linux.
Maybe you'd like to check the Digimend project, just Google 'digimend project github', you'll be surprised 👍
i'm gonna use it for teaching
How do you sit your tablets on your laptop? I did that to try it out, the detection went nuts and the pen jumped all over the place. Are you suppressing EMF with your mind, Brad!?
if we use it regularly, what are the chances of scratches coming upon the screen? i saw people complaining about the scratches on XP-Pen StarG640S just by normal use.
please let me know..
I think you should use a non pressure brush for the ruler test
Hey, just a quick question: Why aren´t pen displays under categorys like portable and "must be connected to a pc"?
I just can´t find an answer to this. I am currently searching for a pen display which is portable so I can take it with me to work while doing night shifts and it is really hard to find those if u are looking at a price under 1000 bucks.
Can you review the Acer spin 3? I'm thinking about getting it as a budget 2 in 1 laptop for my drawing.
for any linux users the July 2021 Driver update (available from their website) is really good, highly recommend this tablet (the wired one anyway) for Linux.
Hey I have a question, I have a StarG640S and I use it with my phone. I often plug and unplug the tablet to store it somewhere, so do you think that is bad for the tablet? Should I just keep the USB plug in and store it just like that.... I scared that if I keep doing that the USB hole(don't know its name) would get too loose overtime.....
Brad, I am a student and also a beginner level digital artist. Should I buy an iPad air 4 or the 2018's version of iPad pro?
I got this few months ago, love it
Is it still good?
@@bruhumusmomentus6055 yes, works very well
@@circumcizednun1814 thanks bro, I'mma buy it
is the active area not too small? I'll probably use it everyday for as long as i can so please let me know if you think it's fine
@@tokki7649 no not at all, atleast for me. The active area will work and be set according to your screen and it won't feel that small. I've used it on my phone and laptop and I've not any issues
I find most drawing tablets way to slippery/smooth. I've used paper like screen protectors and they are awesome, but dont last. Besides looing all cheap with taping a piece of paper over the surface....can you just sand it a little to rough it up?
Are you planning on checking out the Lenovo P11 Pro? It doesn’t look very good for a $550 tablet that doesn’t include the pen but it’s cool that someone other than Samsung is actually trying at this price range for once
Hey Brad, can you do a review for the Veikk A50? I have the tablet and I believe it's 60 USD. It has a big working area. Hope you can see this.
I have a question, so like I bought the wacom intuos small w/o Bluetooth, but I also bought the Clip Studio Paint Pro Disc on Amazon, I wanna make sure I didn't just buy something that I couldve gotten for free? Or is the "pick one out of 3" only a trial?? I'm just curious :)
Hi Brad, I'm not an artist and i want to buy a graphic tablet just for fun other then the difference in the active area would it better to buy this or the deco 01 v2 ? I compared the two tablets in xp pen website and i don't see any difference other then the active area. Thanks
I blame you for my recent huion kamvas 12 purchase😂😂
Hi! I see that your palm doesnt really bother the screen, i mean, you don't has to wear a glove to use the tablet, and that's incredible cause using the glove everytime I want to write its awful.
Can you use OneNote? I really want to know this bc i want it for online classes.
Really good video! My english is not very good, but i hope you understand it haha.
are you using atr 2100x as your mic? Nice vid as always bruh :)
good work
I'm sorry for my English, but I don't speak very well.
But I have a question, does the deco mini 7w work charging? Or does it work only in wireless mode? I'm afraid to buy and be held hostage by always having to keep it charged for use
I just want wanna these for my iPhone that’d be the best thing ever
Had it worked wirelessly with android like Huion Inspiroy Dial q620m does then it would have been a perfect device. Kindly inform the xp pen team from your end to add this as an update. I hope it could be implemented by a software update.
you prefert this one or the Wacom Intuos CTL4100WLK0 Wireless?
gonna wait for your Huion Inspiroy KeyDial KD200 review
Try ordering a shady item on Wish for a cheap price (drawing tablet or monitor tablet)
And unbox in on your new video
Hay Brad, do you know if there is ANY drawing tablet which works wirelessly with android??
Hey brad, will you review the new s21 ultra s pen and accessory case?
Hey Brad, how do you get a visible cursor to work on an Samsung device? I have the Galaxy S10+ but the cursor doesn't show up and it ends up being kind of a guessing game.
Found this, hope it helps th-cam.com/video/4x6HQYZqinU/w-d-xo.html
Is the active area too small to work in? Can anyone give their reviews?
Thank you sir
Hi, Brad. Does the xp pen deco mini graphics tablet software allow you to import documents, so that you can annotate and write on the documents. I am a high school Maths/English teacher.
Nah dude , you need to export your .txt or word file as a PDF and use Microsoft edge to write on top of it or export it as a PNG and transfer it on Photoshop so you can write over it
Hi ! what program did you use for the android part? Clip Studio? thank you !
Awesome arts and crafts fun and good fun
Is there any chance this works (with Krita or similar drawing apps) on a Chromebook?
sir i am thinking of buying this for share trading..for precision..i want to ask does its button works on google chrome or on any other app as well??
Hey Brad, could you review the Huion h420? the one with the buttons? I already have an iPad, but I just wanna try drawing on my Mac, and that's why I want to buy the cheap Huion H420 but I don't know if I should get a slightly bigger one and which bigger one to get cause my mom said I should get a mid-range one if I wanted to actually try. I just don't have much money and I 'v been looking at the XP-pen deco and the Huion Hs611 ... Thx (I'm a high school student who likes art)
Also, should I get the Deco 01 v2 or the deco mini 7?
I think this xp pen deco mini 7 is a great deal for you if you're in a Budget. I have a small tablet too around 6x4 inch size I thought the size would bother me but it actually didn't. I use it for drawing and for my Animation projects also I have a friend who has deco v1 and she said it was too big for her.. If you have a big drawing space then go for the deco v1
I'm torn between this model and the Deco Fun L. Both the same price but the Fun series has double the realstate. What's so premium about the Deco Mini 7 model?
More buttons
Will this work with my samsung tab s2 ? I wanna buy it
I bought new Deco Mini 7 but I can notice pen rattling sound. It makes clicking sound when I lift the pen off the surface. Is this regular sound or something wrong with my pen?
Can we use it on Mac for taking notes on goodnotes ???
Can I use this for taking classes
HEY BRAD!!! make sure you review the xp pen Artist 13.3 holiday edition :DDDD
Please brad please 😭❤️
Can you use this for just jotting and writing as well?
planning to exchange my old intuos coz its not working with my screen xp pen tablet. Does this tablet work with drivers for xo pen artist 22 ?
Can you program a button to middle mouse button + key like alt shift or ctrl?
Hey Brad, think you can do a review of paint tool sai 2 it came out around 2016 and not many People actually know of it if you have paint tool sai 1(original) you get a free upgrade to version 2 apparently its much better
What is better? the hs611 or the deco 01 v2 if the price is the same
Is this good for teaching?
Brad you should check out the huion h1611
why's there still no review of the lenovo X1 Fold?
What is the best tablet for up to 100€? xp pen? huion? Thanks
Hello. Does it work with Teams? Let me know, please.
Is this good for writing and small diagram ?
Hey Brad, Can you review the XP-Pen Star G640?
Also g640s
Which aap would u recommend with this device if being used on android phone.
You can use autodesk
is there a way to check/know the battery level ?
Hello I have a question
Do the deco mini 7 express keys work on android phone?
Any idea that I can work wacom tablet and xp pen tablet without uninstalling each other's drivers
Huions's H950p isn't wireless, but literally no wave, nearly the same price, larger drawing area and the lines doesn't have the sdtrange tapering issue. The initial activation force is very very light and it has tilt functionality. Also works with android devices. No reason to buy this for anyone. If it's too big for you, then choose the H640p model (no tilt).
I had H640p and it broke 😔 I used it for almost 2 years tho I think it's a great deal 🤩
I'm using it now ♥️
And I love it.
Although I had a hard time with pen pressure tho.
I keep pressing hard and has no protection
How has it performed since you bought it?
@@samuelkibunda6960 still in good shape and working as of now ❤️❤️
@@Artmoreralph so I assume the pressure sensitivity was a driver issue?
@@samuelkibunda6960 nope, its my settings in clip studio paint i forgot to set it up my bad
@@Artmoreralph Check out your channel your arts amazing and inspiring is there anywhere apart from you tube where I can follow you?
Would it be a good idea if I changed my Deco 01 v2 for this one?
The only problem I have with mine is that its huge 😅
Hey! I'm. A new one to digital art, wanted to know is there any delay in wireless tablets? Like the one shown in this video
Hey would would recommend this or the hp640p huion for android tablets
naive question, will the left handed people be able to configure the tab to be used flipped?
I m planning to buy my first tablet
Yes! You can turn it upside down and turn on lefty mode in the driver settings.
this video is on timing but i already placed my order before this lol
Can i use it for 3d modelling or sculpting ... Software blender
Does it have left handed mode? If not, what cheap graphic tablet can you recommend that has one?
you can set it left handed with windows.
Plz give a tutorial to draw on graphics tablet
which pen you use in infinite painter
can you do the review bout Huion KD200 please sir
Xp pen Deco mini 7 vs StarG460s
Which is better?
Honestly I own XPpen deco 3(it comes it a wheel) , and I could not go back to a wheel less tablet. This tablet I'm sure its good and look so adorable and cute **heart eyes emoji** , but I got spoiled with Deco 3
Are still liking it?
@@hasanagera yes! really good purchase.
Thanks man
I think you should make a video about
Top drawing tablets for Android.
Please please please please please please please please 🙏🙏🙏🙏🤩🙏🤩
It will work on any drawing app in Mobile??????
Should I get the Samsung galaxy tab s7 or the iPad air 4
Can't you plug Wireless receiver on Android and use wireless connectivity?
Oop when I saw it in amazon it was around $45 🤔 I might consider buying this cuz it's wireless too 🤔
Can anyone tell if ipad gen 8 or 7 is the best the best to buy for art?
Hmm I'm been interested in getting a drawing tablet and for $50 this seems like a steal.
yea same i was gonna go for the huion h420 which is like the cheapest tablet ever but with 3 buttons... i wanna get this now
@@solieixue huion H420 isn't bad but it isn't good for someone who is gonna use to it draw a lot. I've heard that people who use that a lot get their wrist in bad shape since it's a really small size. A 6x4 tablet is better and it's good that ur going to buy this one now since it's also damn good
