Easy to use, small and compact for on the go. If you like a small drawing tablet, this is good. It's way easier to use than my other 10 moons. Sketch crawler, unfortunately, does not recognize the tablet. But krita does, and I can easily import my drawings. Moreover, it appears that the drawing surface in sketch crawler will take the tablet's input even if the buttons don't work. I haven't used my old laptop in ages, but when I do, I'll be able to use this with it, which means I might be able to draw on the go. Honestly, the fact that I can't use it in sketch crawler is freeing; I've been feeling confined to that game, now I can draw in krita and simply draw something without feeling like I have to be in sketch crawler to enjoy art.

I bought the XP-Pen StarG640 drawing tablet as a beginner-friendly option, and it’s been really easy to use. Setup was quick, and it worked right away with my computer without any issues. The tablet size is perfect for drawing and editing without taking up too much desk space. The pen feels smooth and responsive, and I like that it’s battery-free, so there’s no charging or interruptions. Pressure sensitivity works well for sketching and line work. It’s great for drawing, digital art, photo editing, or even taking notes. For the price, it feels solid and reliable, especially if you’re just getting into digital drawing. Overall, a great starter tablet that does exactly what you need it to do. Read more
Pretty great pen and tablet for the value. Tablet scratches a tad bit easily but is still easy to use. They give you many free pen tips (20-ish), USB cable, pen, and tablet. Read more
I asked my Granddaughter to rate this since it was a gift from me. Here is what she wrote: I like the drawing tablet 10/10. It works well and I haven't had problems so far, it's really useful for school notes too. Read more
100% plug-n-play with no manual install, absolutely no instructions needed to understand it (my first drawing pad). Buttons are programmable with the driver/XP-Pen software available on their website. Windows auto installs/uses universal drivers for plug-n-play, the drivers from XP-PEN's website allows for windows to FULLY identify it in Device Manager > Human Interface Devices and ofc programmable via the software. Hover/detection height is approximately 0.5 to 1 inch. Comes with plenty of replacement tips. Corner outlines on the pad accurately translates to the displays resolution meaning pen to mouse position is highly accurate. Does not react to skin, as is should (shouldn't? Ya get what I'm saying😅) Overall great drawing pad, definitely recommend Read more
The positives: This was easy to plug right into my laptop, open my favorite art program and start drawing immediately. The negatives: The user manual included explains nothing about what the buttons on the pen do. Had to discover that through trial and error. Even then, the pen and pad have a horribly obnoxious learning curve. Getting used to using a digital pen after drawing on paper for my whole life is a nightmare in and of itself, but the tapping sensitivity is a project too. Sometimes if I tap a millisecond too late, the pen REFUSES to draw and I have to lift the pen, click elsewhere on screen with my mouse to make the little menu that popped up go away, and start again. Sometimes I can draw while pressing a button and other times I can't at all. It's horrendously unpredictable. I know that eventually with trial and error I will have this thing figured out, but over the past week since I started testing this thing out I haven't. My feeling has always been that if something has a learning curve, in other words I cannot take it out of the box and use it right away with zero roadblocks, then it is not designed well. Read more
