I like my XP-Pen Products - even if they're not perfect.
XP-Pen was very helpful in replacing faulty stylus' (under warranty anyway).
Soon I had extra to experiment with and now I have five working stylus'.

Hey ! Clip Studio Paint !

The issue I was having was that the pen would just trigger randomly.
I tried setting the barrel buttons to no action, but to make a long story short, that didn't help at all.
As you can see, the pen is triggering - I'm not touching the buttons and I'm not touching the screen.
So as you can imagine, that got pretty annoying and I found ONE video by Expresii Paint that helped me solve this problem.

• XP-Pen stylus issues a...
I was pretty apprehensive about breaking down my stylus - but, long story short, I went ahead and did it. And it worked.
So I decided to make a video to confirm that breaking down the stylus is not so scary, and could very well solve problems your having - if your having any.
I turn this little tuner screw (potentiometer) just a little bit and
it still doesn't work right.
So I try turning it some more. It may look like I'm really winding it, but trust me I'm jut making as small an adjustment as I can.
I have no idea what would happen if you just twist this thing around and round.
I'm not going to try it.
So now it's fixed. And I haven't had a problem with it since.
Then the button just snaps into place, like so.
There's a faint line on the button indicating the front end. Make sure you have that right before you snap it down.
The last thing is the nib housing thing-a-mabob and...
And that's it. I managed to fix two stylus' this way - so it worked for me.
good luck! - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
I had this issue with my stylus and it was bugging me so much and then i found this video and NOW IT WORKS!! Thank you!!!!!🙏
I'm glad to know you got your stylus working properly! Happy Drawing!
Mine just arrived am I'm having the hovering pen issue and many others. And then you showed the jitter when zoomed out and that broke my heart. I watched around 20 reviews of the Artist 24 Pro before buying it and no one shows that. I won't trust any reviewer from now on - all a bunch of lies trying to sell you the product. Thank you, only honest video so far! (But I'm not opening my pen, I'll probably return the purchase, it's all messed up all over the place).
I think smoothing functions play a major role in most digital workflows.
Could be the xp-pen driver doesn't get along with your computer.
I've had my share of issues with display tablets, but for the most part, I enjoy using them.
@@VirtualSG I get what you mean. Some issues are acceptable. But, before buying the Pro 24, I had a XP Pen Artist 12S from 2018 and it was SO good, never had any issues.
Then the Pro 24 so far has been frustrating on every aspect.
Now I miss my small 12S. Crazy how a newer product is worse than an old line.
I solved by using the other pen. And XP-Pen told me they mailed an additional replacement pen, since the other one is defective.
Late update: when I wrote the original comment, I ended up contacting XP-Pen and they sent me a replacement pen in a gift box. Plus the additional pen that came with the monitor also worked out of the box.
@@AlfredReinoldBaudisch Glad you have a working stylus or two!
I only got the nerve to mess with mine because I contacted support and... I can't remember exactly how it went down, but I ended up with 5 styluses - only 2 of which worked - so I ripped into the non-working ones and now I've got 5 good pens!
Now for the bad news... I gave my brother my old 22E (with the rechargeable pens) and it stopped working properly on the last Windows update because XP isn't supporting that driver anymore.
I had the same experience with an old Wacom.
My point is eventually this pen and any tablets they come with will follow suit and we'll have to purchase new products.
Hopefully not for a little while tho.
PEACE!
Even though you are getting a lot of thanks from others, I hope you aren't tired of hearing it: Thank You for this video. Was having the very same problem, tried driver updates, unchecking Windows Ink... But clearly something was simply amiss with the little screw thing in the pen, and I'm REALLY glad I didn't have to pull the whole insides out of the pen casing. Thanks, and if anyone is having this problem, yes, this solution does work.
It's good to know I've helped so many fix their stylus!
Thanks for taking the time to comment on the video!
Oh my god I've been dealing with this problem for months and you've done it, you mad man!!!
Does that mean your pen is now working? Hope so!
@@VirtualSG it is! It's working with no issues
@@elizabethm.8318 Great! Happy to hear it!
Thanks man! Turning that little screw 1/4 of a full circle worked for me.
the same problem occurred when i put the pen back in the pen holder, but after a couple of movements on the tablet, everything was ok.
Maybe the weight of the pen affects the sensitivity of the magnet / coil, or something.
Excellent! Glad to help!
Whew. I didn't have a screwdriver small enough so I had to cut up a really thin piece of metal. After that, I actually had to turn it anti-clockwise, not clockwise. But in the end, this did help, my issue is fixed, thanks so much! I can't imagine if I hadn't seen this video and i had tried to fully disassemble the pen...
I'm happy to hear you got your stylus working!
Thanks for sharing your experience - it may help others!
Thank you so much. This solved my issues with the tablet instantly.
Glad I could help! Happy drawing!
the fact that there are still people trying to fix their pen to this DAY! I had to go through 2 of them last year
I managed to fix it tho. So thanks!
@@stripykleo8601 Glad the video helped!
you are my saviour. For me I need to adjust back and forth. I winding almost 1/2 circle but it turns worse, then I slowly turn it back so it just 1/8 circle.
I dont have super small tool to winding it so I just use my earring bcs the tip is small enough to get it X'D
Thank you for saving me from getting insane
I'm so glad you were able to fix it!
SHARING: Mine, I just removed the button entirely and used the pen sleeve to cover the opening. Now it's back to normal and working faster.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing!
It's late but,,,,, THANK YOUUUUU. You really helped me.
It's never too late to find out my video helped another person! I guess that means you got your pen working again? Hooray!😃
THANK YOU
Glad you found it helpful!
you can just change your setting back to pen/eraser mode then click the button to change the pen from eraser mode to pen mode and then change the button again
I don't know if your just joking, but however you change your settings, it will interfere with your drawing - which is a pain in the butt!
Does the 2nd button works without a driver? Mine 1 button works and other doesnt 😢
That's a good question. Considering by default one of the buttons toggles an eraser function, I'm going to guess no, the buttons wont work properly without the correct driver.
I customized my button settings so I don't remember exactly what the default is.
My pen fall down and nib is now stuck and is very hard to write now what to do
I'm sorry, but it sounds like the pen broke when it fall down.
thanks
You're most welcome. Happy drawing!
the screw on my pen is super stuck, i cant move it an inch. ive been at it for 45 minutes now. any advice on how i could get it to move?
Sorry, I'm no expert on loosening itty-bitty screws! I wish you luck!
@@VirtualSG thats alright, thank you! despite not being able to move the screw myself, the rest of the video was very helpful :]
I've had my stylus one day after being gifted the Intuos Pro for Christmas, and I just had the chance to open it. All of a sudden the pen started switching to eraser and changing colors indiscriminately... Needless to say, this was infuriating and prevented me from drawing a simple face... Please help! I don't think I should be fucking around with the pen since I am considering returning this product. Is there anything I can do?
Sorry, I know nothing about intuos. I don't know anything about these things except what I put in this video.
It appears to have been an issue specifically with GIMP and the hardware works as it should now that I have switched to Medibang. Ty for the reply. The biggest challenge for me has been finding the appropriate software, but Medibang has been impressing me and most importantly, performing. Hopefully there are no hardware bugs or crashes!! Cheers!
@@drlca6601 That's strange, but i'm glad you got it sorted out!
i took out the point of my pen and put it back in and its fixed
Sometimes it's just a loose nib (point) !
so um, turns out that lil screw that was inside was so tense that i couldn't turn clockwise anymore, so i tried to do it reverse and it worked at fist, so i started to put it on the pen and try it AND IT STARTED TO DRAW WHEN IT WASNT TOUCHING AGAIN and i tried to do it again and it wont fix ;-; what do i doooo??? (TTnTT)
I'm sorry this video did not help you 😔 sometimes the pen is simply broken and I don't know what to doooo
@@VirtualSG i'm gonna try to keep doing it again, thank you sm for this vid (´；ω；｀)
Dude,I got an issue,my issue is that my pen´s plastic tip, is completely lose from the tip´s gripper,and it is basically clicking without me wanting to click,I fixed it a little by making harder the pression but it is still happening and Idk what to do,what should I do? Do the tutorial works with my issue too,or is pointless to try it?
It sounds to me like you've got a common problem - following the steps in this video should fix it.
BUT - Maybe I don't understand your explaination and it could be a different problem.
Also if you've got a different pen - I have no idea what to tell you. I only know how to fix THIS problem on THIS pen. I wish you Good luck!
@@VirtualSG Yeah I think I got your pen,I have an artist 12 pro,and its pen is basically Pa2 passive,so i guess is the same
@@elsopotas Like I said, I don't really understand when you say the plastic tip is completely lose. It sounds to me like it's physically broken. That's a real problem.
If you try what I say in this video, be very gentle with everything and you shouldn't make anything worse - but I have no idea if it will fix the problem.
The famous problem is that the pen just "switches to eraser mode" - but if you changed your button settings (like I did) it will "switch to" whatever you set it to (in my case, right click) - you see this at the begining of the video.
If your pen is physically busted, I don't know what to say. Have you tried pushing the tip in harder? Maybe your just too gentle? I don't know...
Sorry if this only confuses you more. It's hard to diagnose something in the comments!
@@VirtualSG Yeah its pretty difficult to me to explain it to you because of my lack of knowing about the hardware topic and because of my language barrier, and to you to diagnose the problem just by physical description,but anyways,thx for your help man,I did the tutorial and i am about to prove if the issue is solved or not, *thx for everything pal* :D
@@VirtualSG IT WORKED,YOURE A FREAKING HERO,THX MAN SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH,I WAS A BOUT TO EXPEND LITERALLY 35 BUCKS,BUT FOR YOUR HELP I DIDNT,THX FOR EVERYTHING MAN SERIOUSLY, I WISH THE BEST FOR YOU!!!! ;D
my pen doesnt have one
Sorry, this is all I know about this particular pen.
I don't know about other pens.
Instead of drawing my pen erases instead, how do I solve?
First check all your settings (hopefully you're familiar with all your settings).
Second, if your stylus is switching to eraser by itself, that is basically the problem this video is supposed to help with. Most people have found success, but there's no guarantee - good luck!
i dont have a screw driver :(
Well, you may have to borrow something from someone or buy one (they usually come as a set, like I have). Good luck!
@@VirtualSG dont worry i manage to do it and now i have a working pen and dont need to but one :D
@@kryonix_ Hooray! Glad you fixed it!

I'm going assume that's a good thing!
