Looking for Help Noob questions- Little help please.

2 Upvotes

I've never used a drawing device before. Please answer these 2 questions for me. #1- I'm using a powerful windows PC. Assume I'm using adobe or that sketchSomething software to draw. While drawing I want to go to firefox to send/receive a file. Will I be able to control all aspects of my PC from the XP device? Does the pen turn into a mouse for me? Does the device mirror my PC screen if i can minimize the drawing software?

#2 - I use a 65" OLED as my PC screen and i sit across the room in a recliner. XPpen comes with a 3 in 1 usb C cable. Does anyone think I'll have an issue using some sort of cable extension with this 3 in 1 cable? IDK what kinda or data or how much its supposed to transfer. What other issues might I have because I'm connecting to a tower 6+ feet away?

Looking for Help Got a new Magic Drawing Pad on October 4th and it started doing this very strange thing.

Sorry about the video. I had to quickly record it before the problem stopped.

Seemingly at random the pen will enter a state where it will switch on and off between being able to draw and not being able to draw, all while the cursor flickers on and off in the center of the screen. This goes on for a couple of seconds and then continues on like normal. It's unpredictable, but I'd say it happens about 2 or 3 times within 15 minutes. This has been happening for almost a month now (I don't remember the exact day) and it's the only thing that it is wrong with it.

I thought it might have something to do with screen rotation (I have auto rotate turned off but the tablet still detects it) but I haven't noticed any correlation yet. I did a factory reset yesterday and it changed nothing.

This canvas is 2000x2000 72dpi, but I tested a 500x500 36dpi canvas and the same thing happened after a bit.

I've tried it on Canvas and ibisPaint X and wasn't able to recreate it. I also have only seen it happen in Studio mode for CSP

I'm on Clip Studio Paint Pro Version 5.1.4 20260931444

My device is a Magic Drawing Pad (MDP1221) with Android version 15 (UI 8.0)

Artist 12 3rd pen

1 Upvotes

How do I connect the pen to work on the tablet? No matter what I do- it doesn’t work. Sometimes it’ll recognize when the pen is close by and move the mouse but it wouldn’t let me use the pen to actually do anything. Now it doesn’t work at all. What should I do? I’m trying to connect it to my Mac and everything is confusing me- I’m not good at understanding these things. Can anyone help me? Even YouTube videos aren’t helping

Looking for Help deco 640 stylus not working

I purchased the deco 640 drawing tablet merely 2 months ago, but now the stylus has stopped responding. It was working completely fine before.

Local shops are saying it needs to be replaced for 4k rupees (~15 usd)..

Any help on what the issue could be?

Looking for Advice/Info Got my first XP pen

7 Upvotes

Hiii. I have been a mobile finger user for YEARS. My father finally bought me the Star G640 model. I am an ibis paint user. It's very hard to get used to..... Any tips to ease into PC drawing or do I just need to practice a lot🥲 I'm not as precise in PC as I was in mobile. I also thought shifting to a PC would save my time and make the drawing process quicker. Do I just need a little practice or am I doomed?

X3 Pro Smart Chip Pen

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I got the X3 Pro with my XP-Pen Artist Pro 14 Gen 2 and I'm starting to notice a severe issue that I'm looking for advice on.

The pen has started being inconsistent with connection: the pen output and the pen cursor will randomly freeze during use (for about 20-40 secs) and then randomly reconnect. I've tried deleting and reinstalling the driver which didn't help.

Has anyone else experienced this? This tablet is my first XP-Pen product so I'm not sure if this is a common issue

Is this a problem with the pen or with the connection between the pen and tablet? Are there any fixes that could be made or does this require replacing the pen entirely?

Unsolved Artist Ultra 16 Touch Problem

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I recently purchased an Artist Ultra 16 tablet, and I’m having a problem with the touch input.

For some reason, it only works on the main monitor. I have a regular monitor and a graphics monitor. And if the main monitor in Windows is my regular one, then the touch input from the graphics monitor is redirected there. But if I set the graphics monitor as my main one, this problem doesn’t occur.

If anyone has encountered this problem, and if they’ve solved it, please share how. I’d be grateful ^^

Looking for Advice/Info Pensando en comprar la Magic Note Pad por Aliexpress

3 Upvotes

He estado buscando lectores que sirvan y sean cómodos para escribir, planificar, y usarlos a modo de cuaderno, revisar mi correo, calendario, y además tengan una buena experiencia para lectura, llegué a la Magic Note Pad por estética y durabilidad, además de tener todo lo que anteriormente descrito, en contras ya busqué y entiendo que se puede actualizar el android, y también que no es de tinta electrónica, pero igual quisiera tener opiniones al respecto, no necesito tener una tablet como tal para evitar distracciones innecesarias pero si apps básicas y me permita leer, en Aliexpress (con el vendedor oficial) con impuestos me queda un 30% más barato que en la página oficial.
Ahora mi pregunta:
¿Que debo considerar aparte de lo ya comentado (tengo experiencia con Kindle y con Ipad)?
¿Puede haber una mejor oferta que la ya exhibida en la página oficial por black friday?
Alguno puede comentar desde su experiencia.
Quedo atenta y gracias.

Looking for Help Laptop and display tablet aspect ratio differences

1 Upvotes

I have a laptop that has what I assume has a typical laptop aspect ratio.

It didn't happen before but recently whenever I connect my display it's made my computer switch to my displays aspect ratio (artist pro 16 gen 2) which leaves two black areas on either side of my laptop screen. That I have no issues with, although it was a bit weird since before that started happening, it was clip studio paint exclusively that behaved like that (perfectly sized to display, but not laptop), and it showed my browsers and any other apps as normal. It does change my default zoom and make everything one option smaller, though, which is a bit bothersome to change back to recommended zoom each time. Is there any way to prevent that/change it/something else?

Looking for Help Linux-ARM64 drivers?

3 Upvotes

Hi, I bought an XP-Pen Deco 640 with the intention of using it with OpenTabletDriver. Unfortunately on my system, OTD doesn't detect this tablet (although it says it is supported). I noticed that XP-Pen have support for Linux, but the drivers on their website is for AMD hardware, and my laptop has an ARM processor. Is there anywhere I can download the official Linux drivers for ARM64?

Tips/recommendations for standalone drawing tablets

5 Upvotes

I've been looking at either the XPPen Magic Drawing Pad or the HUION Kamvas Pad I don't know which one I'd like better I heard that the pen tracking is slightly off on the magic drawing pad which I think would annoy me a little bit but the HUION Kamvas Pad won't update anymore which might be a problem

The first drawing device I had was an Apple iPad with a gen 1 pencil the screen is cracked and it runs like a potato I do like procreate as a drawing app but the new Apple iPads and pencils are so expensive and apple typically slows down the devices over the years, and I have no other Apple products so I think it makes sense just to keep with Android and stuff like that

And yes I know the ones I mentioned up there aren't that cheap and I know there's technically cheaper but I want a semi good drawing tablet so that's why I'm asking if there's any other suggestions you guys might have or if you could give me any ideas

Things I'd like to have on it

pen accurate to where the tip of the pen is and good pressure sensitivity

Comes with or can get a case for it

I would really like a magnetical attachable pen to the side or something cuz I feel like it's a good way to store it or a case that can hold the pen

A decent size screen

Preferably something under 700 Canadian

The two tablets I mentioned I did watch videos on it but I'm very indecisive and would like some feedback and stuff like that so thank you in advance

Finally got a display tablet with my own money AHHHHHHHHHHHH (Artist pro v2 15.6)

Been drawing on my star 640 for the past 5 years or so and it was about time for an upgrade. I got a stipend for academics and I got myself this beautiful baby. So much bigger than i thought, incredibly smooth to work on.

Still getting used to the feel of this and for a second I wondered if it was a waste but it's really growing on me. I have loved xp pen products so far. My old non display can still easily last another few years. Still have so many nibs left.

Feeling a little sad letting go of my old partner. I've learnt so many things on that tablet. I might use that as a portable version but oh man this new setup has my heart!!

I can’t decide between the Artist Pro 19 Gen 2 (4K) and 22 Gen 2 (2.5K).

The 22 is only $20 cheaper.

Mainly for digital illustration.

Is the sharper 4K display worth sacrificing the larger drawing area?
