It is compatible with other pens in the X3 pro series.

Pen pressure

XP-Pen states these numbers for X3 Pro pens

  • IAF: 3gf

  • Max Pressure: 400gf

In my testing with the pens that came with the tablet

  • Subjectively, 3gf seemed about right

  • Max pressure: Still to be tested on the included pen

See my notes on the XP-Pen X3 Pro series of pens.

Anti-glare sparkle

  • RATING: VERY GOOD. Low amounts of AG sparkle.

  • Maybe just slightly more than the Cintiq Pro 22.

  • Similar to Huion Kamvas Pro 19

Sharpness

Photos may not capture it, but the display is slightly "soft" like what I saw in the Kamvas Pro 19. The Artist Pro19 GEN2 and Cintiq Pro 22 are a bit sharper.

Design

Looks exactly like the XP-Pen Artist 22 Plus.

Pressure transition

Moving between low and high pressure cave smooth pressure transitions.

Accuracy

XP-Pen states:

  • Center: ±0.4 mm

  • Corner: NOT STATED

RATING: VERY GOOD.

My experience matched the accuracy numbers XP-Pen provides for center accuracy. Corner accuracy was typical for a pen display - a slight inaccuracy of 1 or 2 mm.

Parallax

VERY GOOD.

On par with Cintiq Pro 22 and with Huion Kamvas Pro 19.

Tilt compensation

EXCELLENT - I didn't see the pointer shift much at all as I tilted in different directions

Pressure scan rate testing

  • RATING: VERY GOOD

  • Drawing 50 strokes as fast possible results in no lost strokes.

Diagonal wobble

  • Rating: VERY GOOD - very low amounts of diagonal wobble.

  • On par with the Huion Kamvas Pro 19 and the Wacom Cintiq Pro 22

Ports

Stand

  • Comes with a very nice stand.

  • The stand is pre-attached in the box.

Heat

  • Cool with warm regions toward the middle and the top near the ports

Noise

  • Silent
