Decent tablet. Not the ultimate drawing experience but I think it will server a lot of people well and is a good beginner tablet.
Model year: 2022
X3 ELITE
Accuracy in edges and corners is good.
XP-pen lists accuracy as:
center ±0.5mm
corner ± 2mm
I agree with XP-Pens accuracy numbers
EXCELLENT. very little wobble. at all stroke speeds.
These are 10cm lines - each drawn over 4 seconds. V
Amount of AG sparkle is at the LOW end of MODERATE
I didn't find the sparkle distracting. And I don't notice it at my normal eye distance when drawing.
It has more sparkle than the Wacom One (DTC-133) but less than the Huion Kamvas 13.
For both tablets you'll notice the sparkle if your eyes are close, at a normal drawing distance I don't notice it.
These things worked well
drawing lots of dots
drawing many small quick tiny low pressure lines - hatching
keeping pressure constant
moving between high and low pressure smoothly
Line Tapering - typical .
Remember:
Pressure is detected by the pen, not the tablet.
Pens even of the same model exhibit some variance
XP-pen rates this pen as a 3gf IAF
the pen I had seemed to have a little higher IAF than that
It didn't bother me, but for those of you who want to draw with the tiniest amount of force this may not be the pen/tablet for you.
TYPICAL for a pen display - very slightly more than typical. But not by much.
VERY GOOD. The tip of the pointer aligns very closely with the tip of the pen.
3 USB-C ports on the side
Note tha the ports are deeply recessed into wells.
Comes with a a 3-in-1 cable. Which I didn't use.
Instead I my own Thunderbolt 3 cable.
because the USB-C ports are in deep wells, my TB3 cable has ends that are too thick to fit in the well. I had to chop away some plastic to make it fit.
This works. I was able to use it with a single USB-C cable
