I've ordered the Tab S8 Ultra

It’s about 1cm

Pen tablets are not good for taking notes because there is noticeable latency. When drawing, latency isn't that bad because people don't draw that fast. But when writing, people write fast, and hence latency will be more noticeable. E.g. The line will always try to catch up with the pen tip after each letter. Pen tablets are cheaper than pen displays. It's certainly more intuitive to draw on pen displays. But it really comes down to preference. E.g. If I use a pen display as a second display to my main display, I have to look up/down or left/right depending on my setup. So I prefer to get a big pen display as a main display, but that's expensive. Pen tablets can be set on the tablet and you can draw with your back straight so that's more ergonomic. I have a video talking about this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ftZ9f8qBravFiok.html

@@teohontech7141 You've mentioned Latency. Is that also the case when you plug the Tablet to the computer via USB cable instead of using Blootooth? I would imagine the Latency to not be a problem anymore when using cable.

@@ElTestok There will still be latency with cable connection. Anyway, latency is not really an issue unless you're drawing really fast, e.g. cross hatching lines.

@@teohontech7141 I see! Thanks for your quick reply ;)

Yes, it works

@@teohontech7141 hey thanks for the answer! I just got the tablet and its literally perfect for me! Thanks so much! 🥹

For writing, you want to write fast. Pen tablets will always have latency so writing is not going to feel as responsive compared to portable tablets. This does not support touch gestures.

Not sure if battery is replaceable. Best to ask XP-Pen.

The old Deco Pro is alright. Drawing performance of the pen is very similar

It probably sounds the same as Wacom nibs. It's not something I will notice unless I'm specifically looking out for it. The sound of the pen tip moving is louder due to texture than the tapping sound.

Yeah, the rubber could be an issue. I hope it's not the sticky type of rubber.

@@teohontech7141 I think I’m going to go for the deco mini 7 (I also saw your review of it). Thanks for the helpful reviews!

Hi.....I have had a number of devices that suffered from the same sticky problem and I removed the stickiness using Iso Propyl Alcohol.........the rubber is a thin coating and gets washed off with rubbing with alcohol.

@@gangleweed thanks! I did that too with the solar power bank that i described. But there were still some residue left

@@sarushamcreates Yes, it takes a bit of washing with the spirit but I did get it all off in the end after rubbing with a soaked tissue etc......I've had a couple of electronic devices that had the same problem and I think it's the sweat from your hands that does it.

Drawing performance is gonna be quite similar. So you can choose based on other things like buttons, wireless or not, design, budget

No. You can't change any settings with Android as there's no driver. You can only use the tablet in vertical orientation, and your Android tablet in vertical orientation. But before that, hope that your Android tablet can actually show a cursor

It should not be possible to use it on iPad and iPhone.

also have you tested it or Pixelmator Pro??

It's Bluetooth. There's no wireless dongle

I did not test with Pixelmator Pro

@@teohontech7141 thank you

Get a battery powered tablet with pen support. These drawing tablets are not good for writing

iPad 9. Not sure how good that 2017 battery is now.

@@teohontech7141 thank you

Pen does not use battery, so no charging is needed

@@teohontech7141 whoa... That's amazing, I've never seen a stylus like that before. Thank you bro!

Not sure about that. Unless Huion somehow send over a review unit.

@@teohontech7141 So I have an issue that now I believe is from my laptop, see I have bought a Gaomon pen tablet and when I use the wheel in brush side mode, it allows me to reduce but not increase the brush side, I thought it was an issue from the tablet which is why I recently bought both the H580X Inspiroid (haven't arrived yet) and the KD100 Keypad, that it just arrived So I installed the driver and when I try the brush side mode it happens again, I can reduce but not increase the brush side. Please I have no idea how to fix it, I'm not that tech savvy and it is just now that I would like to give it a go at digital art 😩

@@lethyguaimare Instead of choosing the "Brush Size Increase" for the shortcut, Assign the ] button

@@teohyc I don't think I understand? English is not my native language and like I said, I'm not tech savvy My issue is the wheel, both in the pen tablet and the keypad, when on brush side, I turn and it decreases the brush side, but I turn the other way, it doesn't increase, I thought the whole point of the wheel is to move/touch it either way and reduce and increase the brush side with no issues

@@teohyc ok I just noticed the [ and ] buttons are configured by default on the keypad and guess what, the ] button doesn't work 😩

Deco only works in vertical orientation and Dex only works in landscape orientation

@@teohontech7141 Thank you!

There are handwriting apps that can convert. Nebo, Microsoft OneNote

Yes

If you draw 8 hours a day, then it may not last a week. But you can still use the tablet while it's charging.

@@teohontech7141 ah! I have no problem with the charging one but i wonder if the tablet performance would affected as we use it for a long period of time (like after 1 or 2 years)

@@vii1182 I don't think performance will be affected. These tablets should last for years.

@@teohontech7141 okay thank you! I also heard that the pentab would automatically charged when it plugged, is it also fine if we plug it most of the times? (To the laptop)

@@vii1182 The tablet will charge when connected to laptop/computer. It's okay to leave it connected too

It works with Android tablet. But please read the issues I've experienced at www.parkablogs.com/content/review-xp-pen-deco-lw-pen-tablet-bluetooth

You can do both

Your phone is vertical, can it be changed to be vertical while connected with blue tooth

The orientation cannot be changed because there's no driver to change that.

@@teohontech7141 Okay, thank you so much for responding!

I'll be getting Tab S8 Ultra, not the + version which is pretty similar to the Tab S7+

Mouse mode "pushes" the cursor. Pen move tracks the cursor to where the pen is on the tablet.

I dont think I get it. When should one want to use mouse mode? Also what is windows ink for and should we disable it?@@teohontech7141

Perhaps Steve Jobs believe most user doesn't know what they want

Huion has new tablet coming soon

@@teohontech7141 hi, teoh! you talk about New giano g930l?) He is huge, like large version wacom intius pro) Or will there be another new tablet?

@@user-ts7lj1lu1k The new one should announced in May 2022. It's 13.6 x 8.5 inches so it gigantic. Not sure about the price yet. Anyway, generally speaking 10 x 6 is a good size that matches well with most display sizes, and affordable too. Drawing performance of Pentech 3 is slightly better than older pens but unless I have new and old pen side by side to test, it's really difficult to tell the difference.
