# 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 you need to draw with a really light touch, I would recommend a tablet with a different pen.

## Pen tech

EMR

## Buttons

2

## Eraser

NO

## Included with these tablets (partial list)

* XP-Pen Deco 01 V2  
* XP-Pen Deco 01 V3 -  [XP-Pen Deco 01 V3 notes](/drawtab/catalog/drawtabs/xppen/xppen-deco01v3-notes.md) 

## IAF

Testing several units with the Deco 01 V3, I found the pen's IAF to be around 7gf with some going as low as 6.0gf and one a bit higher at 9gf.

This is a higher IAF than I would typically recommend but it may be OK for beginners.

| --------- | -------- |
| Min       | 6.0      |
| Median    | 7.0      |
| Max       | 9.0      |
