Professional Graphic Tablet: Our Pen Tablet was co-designed with the input of industry leading creatives. The active area (10.3”x5.75”) has true 16:9 aspect ratio to match industry standard displays. A minimal design that prioritizes comfort and functionality with features for faster workflows, and a great drawing experience.
Quick Keys: Working in unison with the pen tablet, the shortcut keys gives you 5 sets of 8 keys – a total of 40 programmable functions per application. Includes a physical dial with 4 settings that perform two functions. There is also an OLED display that shows you each key assignment at a glance. This enables you to make logical key groupings for specific steps in the workflow.
Two Battery-free Pens: Two different sized pens come standard with our drawing tablet, both fully customizable to your workflow. The wider barreled, 3 Button Pen has three programmable buttons + eraser to transform this pen into your fully customized tool. The smaller barreled, Thin Pen handles like your favorite pen or pencil and has two assignable buttons + eraser. 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity, 5080LPI pen resolution, tilt recognition, and virtually no lag.
Curved Gentle Slope: The Xencelabs Pen Tablet is designed with a curved slope, which reduces potential tension and stress to create a comfortable, natural drawing experience. Its front edge is narrowed to only 5 mm thin and features a curved slope to form a seamless palm rest.
Easy Installation and User Interface: You can quickly access the settings from the buttons at the top of the pen tablet. The driver settings also make it easy to customize the included Quick Keys. You can easily change, rename sets, keys and device orientation as you need.

Title: Best Pen Tablet I've Ever Used
Review: I am a professional artist and have been working in the industry for over 30 years. This is the best pen display I have seen. The instructions were so easy. Nice and big unlike other instructions were you need a microscope to read them. The website is super easy to navigate. And the pen? Zero Lag. Zero Paralax. Excellent overall. I purchased the medium screen bundle. Great value for your money. It came with so many great accessories. What I really appreciate is the two pens, one regular sized and a slim pen which I use all the time. The pens themselves are top of the line. Lots and lots of extra nibs even the felt tip ones. Really nice storage case. Two cords that are actually very long which I love. Most of the time when a company includes a cord it's so darn short you really can not use it. Not these cords! Nice and long perfect especially if you have a pc. A nice glove is also included and a great shortcut key device. The tablet came already charged and ready to go. The shortcut key you do have to charge first but once charged it holds a charge for 25 hours. All the devices are nice and sturdy with slide resistance on the back. All in all this is the best purchase I've made in years. It's way better than I imagined. Wonderful product. Highly recommend. Thank you Xcencelabs!

Title: An Easy Alternative to Wacom
Review: I used a Wacom tablet for at least ten years and recently switched to Xencelabs based on reviews of other photographers and editors. In my case, the medium tablet bundle with a hotkeys controller. I was pleased with how easily it installed on my Mac, the software has a great UI and makes for ease of set-up and customizations. Using it has been for less "finicky" than the Wacom. Great response from the pen, nearly zero lag, and I have enjoyed using this for retouching an editing photos.

Title: Awesome piece of kit
Review: I ordered this for my girlfriend to do sculpting/drawing and it's really neat. I like to hop on her computer when I'm having trouble laying out a program so I can visualize how the program needs to run and draw it out in MSpaint. I'm thinking about ordering a second for myself so I can do those cool tutorial videos where the instructor starts writing on the displayed material. High quality pad, pens feel slightly cheap but work good.

Title: Yes, it ISSSS AMAZING. (From a decades Wacom User - who never recommended third party
Review: Everything about this tablet is great (haha). Okay, I will say its at min in line with Wacom (both in build, usage and software). Build is on par. What you get for price? Superb. How it comes to Wacom? Blind folded you will NOT notice any difference between the two. The problem with third party devices in the past were really drivers and software. This tablet - the software is great! In fact, I'd say it even simpler and better than Wacom's software (yes Wacom - take a hint). I'be owned the small (for travel), medium (best size), and (by mistake) the large Wacoms (for my usage). Medium is the best overall size for both this and Wacom. In the past, I recommended against third party pen tablets. I've also owned the Wacom quick keys and Loupedeck controllers - I have to say, I DO prefer JUST the tablet and keyboard shortcuts vs the quickkeys or loupedeck (too much programing and having to switch different modes takes longer than keyboard shortcuts - downside? You have to remember the shortcuts 😉 BUT if you use these devices and programs every day you'll quickly remember, and/or customize them to your liking anyways. So in closing. I HIGHLY recommend this tablet. Its really a refined product that gives you a number of extras in comparison to Wacom (without any disadvantages of drivers/software like in past). Its so great, like many comments I just sold off my Wacom gear without hesitation.

Title: A must have for editing photos
Review: This really is a must have tool for editing photos in something like Photoshop or Lightroom. I have struggled for a long time with a mouse trying to make precise movements and that is very difficult. The aspect ratio is 1 to 1 so drawing a circle on the tablet comes out as a circle on the screen (not oblong). The 2 thicknesses of a pens allows for easy gripping. I also really like the Quick Keys device which you can program and label (user programmable LCD on the device) for your most used l key sequences rather than having to use the keyboard. This makes editing and drawing so so much easier and has really sped up my workflow. Very happy with my purchase (should have done it earlier)!

Title: Just Simply Works
Review: I don't usually write reviews but this product deserves it. It has left it's impression on me mostly because of how much it just works compared to the previous product I suffered with for years. My VV@c0m Intuos Pro just didn't really work consistently. Bluetooth was laggy, if it connected at all, the buttons were clunky, and the driver was ancient and difficult to work with.The Xencelabs tablet just works! I work in Photoshop a lot. With this tablet the wireless connection is solid with no detectable lag. The driver is modern, intuitive, crammed with functionality, and again, just simply works. With the added Quick Keys accessory, the combination has opened a ton of options. Working with brushes is effortless, multi key combinations have become a single button push (which don't need to be memorized because they are labeled in plain language on the screen). Editing has become fun again.This product far outperforms my previous tablet and I can't recommend it enough if you have been struggling with other brands.

Review: I was imppressed with the packaging and everything you get In the bundle. Sadly I did not see $48 coupon that could have been applied to my purchase so be mindful of anything like that when you go through checkout. After one week I am certainly happy with the pen tablet and the 2 pens that came with it. The express keys are a bit of a learning curve deciding the shortcuts macros and actions I will assign to the buttons and sets. Over all I am very happy with my purchase and I would highly recommend this product. Check out The Review by Glen Dewis on YouTube it is bang on.

Review: After my Wacom broke I got convinced by a few YouTubers being enthousiast about this product, also being disappointed that the most recent Wacom om the market is already a few years old. Although it has a nice paperlike touch it doesnât make up for the lack of touch functionality. The two pens are just unnecessary overkill. The soft drop to let your wrist rest upon is nice though. A YouTube video of a completely trashed xencelabs after heavy use made me doubt no longer and switch back to Wacom. It just works and it stands the test of time.
