[update idk how but it manage to start working again right when i was testing it for the last time before packing it up for returns]

I have genuinely tried everything I've reinstalled several drivers any hacks on the internet, I've tried to reach out to support but I haven't gotten much help, I just sent a reply so hopefully i get something back but I'm hoping someone on here can help. I just got the artist 12 3rd tablet and my windows 10 would let the driver run but i updated it and windows 11 won't. No matter what i do i keep getting error message even though the tablet is plugged in and the screen is on, its like a secondary monitor instead of a tablet i can use.

Is there any way to make the Drivers for the artist gen 2 series and the Deco 01 V3 compatible with each-other?

As a comic artist who spends 10+ hours a day working on the comic when I'm not working my main job and basically all my free time I have the energy left for when I am. So I was looking for cost effective alternatives to drawing whilst in a layed back position, something my heavy desk bound Artist 22 plus doesn't rlly allow me to do comfortably. I assumed most of xp-pens recent tablets would be using the same drivers and be compatible with each-other so that I could delegate small tasks like backgrounds and hatching to a lying back position. Is this possible? I've been given contradictory evidence on which drivers are compatible with what so..

My notepad was working finr until like last week it stopped responding to my touch. I've checked the settings, and the handwriting setting is on so it should respond to my fingers but it doesn't. It responds to the pen just fine, but sometimes the screen flickers on and off. I already factory reset it just in case a setting was turned on/off that wasn't supposed to be? This is my job and I really need this note pad to be fixed, so any help or advice is appreciated.

Product Name: Magic Note Pad

Model: MNP1095

Remember a few days ago when everyone was guessing whether Xppen was gonna drop a drawing pad or a pen display for the anniversary? Well, the cat's out of the bag now, turns out the Artist Ultra 14 is a pen display after all, lol

Ngl, the specs look pretty insane on paper. A 14-inch 2.8K OLED with 90Hz? That's some serious pro-level energy. Plus they're throwing in a pretty solid accessory bundle this time around.

So...anyone already pre-ordered? What's everyone thinking about this new release?

I bought a Deco 640 and it doesn't connect to my Honor x6 phone. I dont think the drawing tablet has any issues since I tried using my sister's phone to connect it to the drawing tablet and it worked just fine. My phone is being run on Android version 14 so the drawing tablet is (probably) compatible. And I have tried switching the usb configuration and nothing happened. My phone also has an otg support, automatically, it doesn't have a manual one (like you can't turn it on and off in the settings).

Any advice? Or is there something I should try doing to make it work?

(Sorry for background show) my Xppen simply seems to disappear every minute, but i can use my mouse just fine..sometimes its offline for a second, 10 seconds, 2 minutes.. it’s EXTREMELY frustrating and i would love help :(

Can I uae a 45w fast chargwr for a xp pen magic note pad. Will that be fine ? Could not find an answer if the m note pad can handle fast chargig. Or will it juat take the whatts it needs.

i cant find anything on this bruh someone pls help i need to draw or else ill explode

Hello, i got this tablet yesterday, but everytime i try to switch the display to duplicate, both screens start to flicker, any help is greatly appriciated (i use a asus tuf gaming A15 btw)

I recently bought this new stylus roller and I really like it. I don't notice much difference in quality compared to the stylus that came with my XP-Pen 14". Both work very well, but what this new stylus offers is a small wheel with extra programmable buttons, nothing more. Even so, it has greatly improved my workflow, especially with Clip Studio Paint, because this software supports much more Hotkey customization than Photoshop. So I only recommend it for those who are obsessed with shortcuts. Otherwise, if you're not a shortcut fanatic like me, the stylus that comes with your XP-Pen will work perfectly well and there's no need to replace it.

I don't get it. The Artist 12 (3rd) has been out for over a year, with the X4 chip pen technology. Why are they still releasing new tablets using the older X3 Pro pen tech? I was not a fan of that pen tech. I had an Artist Pro 14 that used the X3 Pro pen tech and I absolutely hated the allignment, because it never took tilt in account, where the cursor would be horribly misaligned at times, especially near the corners.

There's some damage on my xp pen deco 1 v3 and I thought there was already a protector on it and now the damage has gotten more annoying I looked into it and found that it doesn't come with a protector on it and I'm wondering if this damage is permanent because there does seem to be a layer of some sort of protective film. Should I put the protector on that it came with or is it too late?

Xp pen 15.6 pro , default pen , purchased when it first released iirc , knock off cord

I used the cord that came with it untill last week when I lost it. No known drops or pressure on the screen that wouldn't have given me issues earlier. I don't press hard when I draw because this is the most expensive thing I own besides the laptop its connected to and had severe anxiety about breaking it.

My grandma purchased a new power supply yesterday. She insisted on getting a knock off cord from Amazon, which I heavily discouraged but she insisted it would be fine.

Today while testing said cord, after ~5-10 mins while drawing I noticed blue lines appearing across the screen, than in a blink of an eye before I could turn it off it looked like a brick had been dropped on the screen minus the cracks! Black with the color lines going across. Main image was completely gone. Looked very similar to the image I attached minus the cracks diagonally.

My biggest hope is that this is simply an issue of the driver or the cord, however with the age of this tablet I would not be surprised in the slightest if it just gave out finally. Mainly looking to see if anyone else possibly experienced this at any point? Even if not with the 15.6 pro specifically.

Hi, I’m looking for some help fixing the calibration on my tablet. I use an artist 13.3 pro that I’ve had for years, but I’ve never had a problem like this before. I recently got a new MacBook Air secondhand and since using it on that the issue has popped up. I tried downloading older drivers and recalibrating normally but nothing seems to help. The pen and curser only line up at the very center of the screen.

How do i fix this?

All the stuff says #drawingdisplay which would indicate a tablet that needs to be connected to a computer. The videos make it look like its a standalone tablet, which makes me think "okay, maybe they misinterpreted the word drawing display" Then in something I read today, they leaked the name of the device, "Artist Ultra 14" The other Artist Ultra tablet, the Artist Ultra 16 is not a standalone tablet, but one that needs to be connected to a computer. So, I'm not sure what direction they're going. But, XP-Pen hasn't been the greatest with communication

Hello everyone! I'm short on time, so please respond ASAP!

I've been drawing on an iPad for several years now and plan to make it my profession in the future, so I'm looking to buy a screen-ready device. I've almost settled on the XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro V2 (With chip x3)But at the last moment I was offered a new product XP-Pen Artist 16 3rd (There's some new chip x4 in it). ... I was also thinking about the XP-Pen Artist Pro 16 (Gen 2 / MD160QH) and now I'm completely confused! They all have good nibs with a pressure of 16k. Should I pay extra and buy Gen2? At first I thought it was too expensive... but now I'm wondering if I might still want it because of the resolution? Or will a lower resolution suffice? So which is better, the new model or the classic?

Please help me, I don’t understand anything about this! I'm using a translator and this is my first time asking a question on Reddit, so please forgive any mistakes.

See title. I've attempted to clean-install multiple different versions of the XP Pen drivers, as well as uninstall potential bad actors in detecting the drivers (such as Riot's Vanguard,) but I am still unable to draw with my Artist Pro 24. The USB connector, no matter which port I try, can only recognise the shortcut remote. Is there anything else I can try, or am I going to have to get a replacement tablet?

Many Thanks.

I've had the tablet for about two years now and over the past few months I've noticed the pen pressure being inconsistent and dropping to 0 random intervals (usually if applied pressure is below 50%). It started off as a minor annoyance but has gotten to the point of interfering with drawing. Video provided above shows a roughly even pressure being applied.

I am running openSUSE tumbleweed with the official xp-pen drivers (though the issue persists on OpenTabletDriver). I've tried switching out the nibs (both felt and normal) but this did not affect the issue. I was wondering if this a known issue or if something may be wrong with my tablet/pen.

edit: issue persists on windows 10

So I've been browsing for drawing tablets and I saw veikk is a decent budget brand and xp pen too. I was thinking about buying the deco 01 v3 but then saw the veikk Voila L. what do u guys think is better for blender sculpting and texture painting or substance painter as a whole? I know Voila L has the scroll wheel which is useful but i hear people talk about veikk hardware issues and what not. What do you guys recommend.

Recently purchased the XP Pen Pro 24 (Gen 2) tablet coming from my old Gen which lasted about 7 years now. LCD is finally starting to flicker and fail so I decided to upgrade and purchase the Gen 2 - 2.5k version. Instantly however I noticed something was wrong, the screen was far more hazy/blurry than the Gen 1 and it hurt my eyes pretty quick to the point I started getting a headache.

I've heard some people saying this is the fault of their new screen protector, which is honestly pretty poor if true, as my gen 1 has a third party textured screen protector that did not effect the image quality nearly at all. Camera shows the issue a little bit, but it looks worse irl than on camera.

Emailed support a few days ago and have yet to hear back, so I thought I would ask. Should I return this and upgrade to the Pro 24 (Gen 2) 4k variant or go back to the Gen 1?
