XP-Pen P05 pen notes

Overview

The pen is from an slightly older generation of pen technology, with a bit higher IAF than modern consumer EMR pens. If a tablet comes with this pen, you might be okay with it. It would make for OK beginner pen. But if you need to draw with a really light touch, I would recommend a tablet with a different pen.
