Many models include adjustable stands, programmable shortcut keys and Full HD or QHD panels suitable for digital painting and photo retouching.
Graphics Tablets
Their graphics tablets (non-display) include compact wired and wireless options with battery-free styluses and up to 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity. These slim tablets are favored by beginners, students and streamers for their portability and price. Select models offer multi-touch input, programmable express keys and plug-and-play compatibility with popular creative apps for sketching, inking and annotation.
Stylus & Accessories
XP-Pen sells replacement styluses, nib kits, protective screens, carrying cases and adjustable stands. Official accessories such as upgraded pens and specialized nibs improve control and longevity of devices, while screen protectors reduce glare and wear.
