Works great
Very easy to use and connected immediately to compute. Easy to carry in laptop bag. Appears to be durable and good for the value for money. Pressure sensitivity is good as well.

Hardware Is Solid, But Software Is Lacking
First off, I ordered the Deco MW and use Windows 11. It's great out of the box! It's lightweight, has a long battery life, has a generous amount of re-programmable buttons, and it can directly connect to Bluetooth without using the receiver. Even before driver updates and installing the Pentablet App it still worked right out of the box as a basic drawing tablet. Though, after installing everything I realized how much more functionality I wanted, mainly with the Pentablet Application itself.As someone who takes digital notes, I often use a lot of shortcuts. Commands such as Panning, Undo, and Redo - which are 2 input commands on a specific app I use - are easily configurable in Pentablet. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for 3 input commands, and actions that require you to hold the button to repeat the command multiple times. Trying to reprogram a button to take something like "ALT + W + 1" results in "ALT + W, 1" which is not the same. Additionally, reprogramming a button to zoom in (CTRL + SCROLL UP) didn't work as intended. When I naturally held down my zoom button I expected it to continue zooming, instead it only zoomed in once and I had to press it repetitively to get what I wanted. The lack of options didn't end there.I'm familiar with using the mouse, so I prefer the Mouse mode since it uses relative coordinates and I can drag the cursor to the area I want, like how you lift the mouse and reposition it to move the cursor further when you run out of space. Unfortunately, mouse mode disables one of the most important features, Pen/Erase. The ability to toggle between Pen and Erase on the same button is essential and frees up one more button on the digital pen. I wish you can manually set a button to toggle between two actions, but that's another feature left out of the software. If you want the Pen/Erase functionality, you have to get used to Windows Ink's absolute coordinates which feels weird to me.Oddly enough, even with all these flaws it still works great for digital note taking. Sure you can't assign an action that uses 3 commands to a button, but you can simply drag the cursor and press that action on the screen. If you're dead set on mouse mode, simply assign each button on the pen to Pen and Erase. Every issue has a solution, albeit slightly inconvenient.

A really good basic stylus tablet
I can't speak to how this is for advanced users, but I'm a beginner at 3D modeling (Blender) and 3D motion graphics (Unreal Engine), which is why I purchased this tablet. It has done an excellent job for me, not only in my 3D graphics applications, but also in GIMP, where I do a lot of my 2D graphics work. I'm using it to learn to draw as well, taking art classes focused on computer-based graphics art, and I find it easy to work with.My only recommendation is that you plan on going into the software to change the orientation if you use it in other than landscape-left-facing, to change the orientation to your preferred orientation, as I have not figured out, yet (after a month) how to change my default setting to my preferred orientation setting.Other than that, it is a good, basic stylus tablet with good pressure sensitivity and smooth integration (wired) between my drawing programs and the tablet.

Everything works as expected.
The one I bought was a screenless drawing tablet without Bluetooth.This is my first time using a screenless drawing tablet, and the medium size is perfect for my desk. I really love the tablet's responsiveness when using the stylus.I use this tablet mainly for Adobe Illustrator / Adobe Photoshop. When using this screenless drawing tablet, I really love the feel of the stylus (it feels lighter than an apple pencil, which is nice since my hand/wrist won't hurt that much from extended periods of time.)I would recommend you to download their Xpen application (from their website) since you need it in order to use the sensitivity feature on the pen as well as setting shortcuts on the screenless tablet.I really love how I could program each button to do something differently (tablet + stylus).Definitely buy this product because it will save you time and soreness from using a mouse.

XP-PEN has made a great graphics tablet for roughly $50
this is one of the best graphics tablets I've ever had the pleasure of using for digital art and sundry- it is comparable to the Intuos line from WACOM, but less expensive!am using it on a Windows PC with no trouble, the drivers are unobtrusive and do the job wellalso, I love that it comes in so many sweet colors, I have the pink one and it is so charming!

Does not work play nicely with Windows 11
Will not stay connected. Pen touch is poor, when using as a mouse. Have downloaded and reinstalled drivers multiple times. Would not purchase this brand again.UPDATE: I had ordered an extra pen (XP-Penn X3 Smart-chip Digital), and gave it a try with the tablet. Response is much better, drivers are staying installed, and it's nearly fully functional. I would still buy a different brand, but at least this tablet is now usable for most of my work.
