XPPen Deco L

TLDR

This is the embodiment everything wrong with XP-Pen. Doesn't make it a bad tablet, nor does it make it hard to recommend.

Getting the tablet

I just borrowed this from a friend of mine.

Pen

Comes with the X3 elite pen. Pretty average pen to be completely fair. Doesn't feel bad to use. Pressure range is what you would expect - not great but not terrible either, it just feels fine to me.

7Pens has measured the max pressure to be around ~370g. Not bad!

Testing

Oh god XP-Pen is going to hate me. Anyway, onto the results!

Hover Smoothing

It's got a lot of it. And it's not consistent at all. It increases the higher up you hover.

Pressure scan rate

If you draw very very fast hatching lines, some literally won't register.

Tilt instability

Even if you leave the pen still, the tilt will just jitter. Creates instability with transitions if you use a tilt-sensitive brush.

Pressure smoothing

Unnoticeable, but the pressure has smoothing, though I don't think it affects drawing.
