XP-PEN Star03 V2 8192 Levels of Pressure Sensitivity, Battery-Free Stylus, 8 Shortcut Keys and 8 nibs Graphics Drawing Tablet Pen (Black, 10 x6 Size)

best buy in my life,configurable buttons, improved my workability with OneNote [note taking apps] a lot.Note taking has never been easier for me, seems like we can use it for painting digital art too - though its not my forte.I use it more often at office, especially while working with colleagues/teammates to work on the process flow/explanations, they work crazy good with presentations and on meeting discussion to record the ideas and stuff! [a game changer at work, seeing me many other bought it :[0]the surface of the tablet is smooth, but if you keep using the pen with same nib for prolonged time, you may scratch the surface and leave permanent damage - though can still work as tech beneath the surface is what matters.less weight, easy to carry - though large in size - I carry it easily with the laptop bag.it is a sensitive electronic gadget, so take care to not put too much weigh on it or drop it - so its durability depends on how properly it is maintained.It can easily last upto many years.mine is still working for almost 2 years.I can connect it any windows laptop and android devices, and needs to driver installation too.

It is Good. We can customise the settings of related to pentab. We have to download an application of the XP-Pen and then setup to use the pentab. It is all-over good.

I received the tablet from XP-Pen India seller itself, for Rs.5499/- and the delivery was handled by Amazon. The package contents were as advertised and the product was in optimum condition. It's build is sleek and appealing while also sturdy and assuringly heavy, unlike other fragile brands on sale. The stylus is also comfortably sized, with a nice and springy nib, which can be easily replaced. Moreover, the anti-slip pads on the tablet and the pen stand live up to their name, which is a good for any surface.Though this is my first pen tablet, I felt really comfortable, thanks to the large enough active area, stylus feedback, intuitive driver UI and completely customizable express keys. It facilitated my online teaching and dive into digital art. Though I am a conventional artist, this product helped me take to digital art, like a fish to water, in spite of the lack of prior experience, resulting in me relying extensively on hand-eye coordination. This was not an issue, thanks to the excellent pressure sensitivity (levels are customizable to suit individual styles too), lack of any lag between strokes and feedback.The large active area, disconnectable cable and other accessories all add to the utility and durability of this gadget. One of the two downsides I found was the nib change tool which is made of flimsy aluminum or steel that bends out of shape really quickly. The other is the propensity of the surface to get scratched by heavy strokes. Apart from this, it was worth every penny. To combat the latter issue, if you're not interested in buying a protective film, I kindly advise to NOT peel of the protective film on the surface unlike the company tells you to, as that film quite good, but doesn't quite protect from really heavy strokes. Using the pen tablet with this film and a simple A4 sheet on top, leaves the surface pristine even with heavy work.I will push the limits of the pen tablet and update on its performance in a month or so. So my verdict is this - whether you're a beginner or a pro, if you got a 5k-odd budget, just get this one. Registering the product with XP-Pen India gives 1 month extra warranty.

Review after a year of usage, Good drawing pad for the price surface started getting scratches in starting 2-3 days so I've added skin to prevent it, not sure is the same case for other graphic tablets, supports Linux out of the box no drivers needed pressure and tilt works fine without drivers ( need to install drivers for buttons)if you want to customize (pressure and buttons) you can install drivers which is officially supported for Linux. Don't bother much about shortcut keys as many programs ( Krita, Blender) comes with keyboard shortcuts it is way better experience to use them in my one year usage I never used shortcut keys even pen keys.

The digitizer is easy to use and smooth in writing, however the sensitivity must be improved. Iam getting scratches on the pad after one month of normal usage. This is the major drawback of this . Overall product is good but quality must be improved.

Had to many thoughts before buying the product online but then finally bought it ..worth the price.I wanted to take it for note taking purposes...Installation was a bit difficult as the symbol of the b type cable showed wrong direction bur nvm i figured out the right way..... Works good in my laptop also works well on your mobile phone.... It takes a bit time to get into good handwriting... Works well till now...dont remove the sheet on the pad .... Thats more safer way to use the pad ...they provide nibs also ...the tablet is a bit heavier than i thought ... but the pressure sensitivity works well....overall a nice product

Pros:- easy to use- good material quality and light weight- lots of extra nibs- easy driver installationCons:- surface gets scratch marks due to nib residue (doesn't affect the performance, just doesn't look good)To avoid the scratches, you can use thin plastic sheet to cover the surface. I used an old X-ray report to cover the surface of my tablet 🤟. Didn't affect the performance and didn't leave any scratches below.
