# Xencelabs

## Overview

Xencelabs (<https://www.xencelabs.com/>) positions itself as a direct competitor to Wacom for the professional creative audience

They are a very new brand and have a small product line as of Jan 2024:

* Pen displays
  * Xencelabs Pen Display 24: [Xencelabs Pen Display 24 (LPH2412U-A) notes](/drawtab/catalog/drawtabs/xencelabs/xencelabs-lph2412ua.md)
  * Xencelabs Pen Display 16: [Xencelabs Pen Display 16 (LPH1612U-A) notes](/drawtab/catalog/drawtabs/xencelabs/xencelabs-lph1612ua.md)
* Pen tablets
  * Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium SE
  * Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium: [Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium (BPH1212W-A) notes](/drawtab/catalog/drawtabs/xencelabs/xencelabs-bph1212wa.md) (very minimal notes)
  * Xencelabs Pen Tablet Small

## What Xencelabs does well

* They are very thoughtful about the design of their products. You can see small touches that make a difference. For example:
  * Their pen tablets are exactly 16x9 aspect ratio
  * The front edge of their pen tablets are slightly slopped so there's less of a hard edge hitting your wrist
  * Their driver UX is well the most thought-out, user-friendly and attractive of any tablet brand.
  * Their tablets come with 2 pens.
* I don't have any direct experience with their support. I haven't needed to contact them for any issue. But from what I have seen Xencelabs support is extremely good.

## How Xencelabs could do better

* Core Pen tech
  * MAX pressure of their pens as I have measured is GOOD but not yet as high as Wacom's Pro Pens which have an EXCELLENT high max pressure.
  * Their stated IAF is 3gf - which matches my measurements - is GOOD. But Wacom's Pro pens have an even lower IAF.
* There aren't that many Xencelabs users out there - so if you need community help there are very few people in the community who can help and you'll need to rely Xencelab's customer support.
* As of September 2025 their product portfolio does not include
  * A large pen tablet
  * A mobile device
