Not the ultimate drawing experience but I think it will server a lot of people well and is a good beginner tablet. ## Basics * [user manual](https://download01.xp-pen.com/file/2022/07/Artist%20Series%20Drawing%20Display%20\(2nd%20Gen\)\(English\).pdf) ## Links These links come from the [DrawTabData Explorer](https://thesevenpens.github.io/DrawTabDataExplorer/entity/xppen.tabletfamily.xppen_artistgen2).

More here: [XP-Pen X3 Elite pen notes](/drawtab/catalog/pens/xppen-pens/xppen-x3elitepen-notes.md) ## Pen ### Pen tracking * Accuracy in edges and corners is good. * I agree with XP-Pens accuracy numbers ## Diagonal wobble EXCELLENT. very little wobble. at all stroke speeds. These are 10cm lines - each drawn over 4 seconds. V
### Anti-glare sparkle 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. ## Drawing Experience 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 ## Pen pressure range See: [XP-Pen X3 Elite pen notes](/drawtab/catalog/pens/xppen-pens/xppen-x3elitepen-notes.md) ## Pointer lag TYPICAL for a pen display - very slightly more than typical. But not by much. ## Parallax VERY GOOD. The tip of the pointer aligns very closely with the tip of the pen. ## Cables and connections 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. ## Using a single-USB-C cable This works. I was able to use it with a single USB-C cable
