- | The tablet itself is 14” x 8.5” x 0.5”, and the drawing area is 10” x 5.5”. The drawing area being ‘widescreen’ is perfect for most modern desktop resolutions (even multi-monitor like I use). Having a square drawing area (like I have with my Wacom Bamboo Touch) on a tablet with a widescreen monitor can cause problems with ratios. and the feeling that the pointer is moving too fast, or sliding. Middle left on the tablet is a silver ‘wheel’. This can be used with your finger and rotates smoothly. The provided lime-green stopper can be inserted into the hole of the dial to give you a more precise dial. Above and below the wheel are three buttons. | + | The tablet itself is 14” x 8.5” x 0.5”, and the drawing area is 10” x 5.5”.

- | Inside the mysterious metal tube is the pen. You unscrew one end to retrieve the pen, and this cap can be used as a pen holder. The other end of the tube is unscrewed to reveal eight spare nibs. Spare nibs are always a good thing with a graphics tablet. The tube is an excellent pen protector. The pen is hexagonal and shaped to look like a pencil. This is one feature that I love about the pen. As in most cases, the pen includes a single button. One end of the pen has the drawing nib, the other end has the eraser. | + | Contenu |

DIGImend is a set of drivers for a vast range of tablets.

Pressure sensitivity is usually adjusted in the software you’re using. So if it’s GIMP, or (in my case) MyPaint, you’ll find the pressure settings in there. Tweak them to get to a comfortable level for you. | Pressure sensitivity is usually adjusted in the software you’re using.

I’ve also been in contact with XP-PEN who currently have a beta driver on their site. It works only with Qt5.10 though. Ubuntu currently comes with Qt5.9 and won’t run the beta drivers. XP-PEN have told me that they’re still beavering away on the driver and want it to fully work in Linux. | + | Alors, qu'est-ce qui marche sous Linux ?

Even with the buttons and wheel not working, I give this tablet four out of five. The makers are supporting Linux and, to be honest, I never use shortcut buttons on a tablet.
