A small tablet thats very portable, very inexpensive, very responsive and works well with Photoshop
This is the smallest version of the XP-PEN DECO FUN tablet series. These are available in four colours and three sizes XS, S, and L. I have already reviewed the L or LARGE version so I have already loaded the driver for this tablet series. Now I will be using this and the large version as a photoshop pen and not as a drawing pen but using the various tools to assist me in manipulating my mosaic work. I’m used to working with tablets, particularly WACOM models but those models where they are not direct to a monitor screen but by using the pen on the blank tablet which corresponds with the cursor on the monitor. This tablet is great for when you are on the go away from home and will work great with a laptop. When you open the box you will find the tablet, a pen, spare nibs and a small manual which really just explains how to load the driver. You have to first of all visit the XP-PEN website and click on support then download for the DECO FUN tablet range. You then have to reboot the system for the driver to be fully installed and working. Once rebooted you will then see the XP-PEN program icon. Click on that to then specify the settings you require. I found the pen to be extremely easy to use and very responsive using Photoshop. It’s as good as any Wacom tablet although I’m sure you pay more for additional functions, I don’t know because I haven't had an expensive Wacom, just a cheap one that used blue tooth. OK so this isn’t wireless and you have to use a USB-C to USB-A lead. The accompanying lead is very generous so you aren’t straining on the lead. Don’t connect the lead to a hub because the driver and tablet won’t register correctly, insert the lead directly to the PC or laptop. This will work with a Windows PC and laptop, also a MAC PC and an android phone but that’s about it. It won’t work on the iPad. Nevertheless I award 5 stars.

Takes some getting used to.
Graphic tablets can often get very pricey, with top models reaching at time £600+. Although these higher end models come with dozens of features, I feel that this graphic tablet by XP-PEN is great for just £25.49!Let me start by saying that you can't actually see what you're drawing on the tablet itself, but rather every brush stroke you make will be mirrored onto your monitor that you are plugged into. This means that you have to draw on the tablet but look at your monitor when creating you art on software's such as Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator. Admittedly, this will feel a little awkward at first but after a week I have already gotten used to the whole dynamic. You will find that many graphic designers and Digital Artists work like this. As I am right handed, I have one hand on the pen drawing and the other on my keyboard operating shortcuts to help speed up my digital art process.Overall, a fantastic and affordable starting point for aspiring digital artists and designers. The pen and tablet are very accurate when you are drawing with it and the pen feels great to hold with a long lasting charge. 5 stars!Thank you for reading my honest review I hope you found it helpful! :)

Great affordable tablet :)
I have been using a drawing tablet for over 10 years so I am somewhat familiar with these and will try to be as fair as possible in my review. While I am most familiar with Wacom ( the old graphire series and intuos series to be specific), I have also used tablets from XP-pen. I also have used Microsoft’s Surface Pro 4 to draw as well.Since I primarily use tablets to draw, I will be reviewing mainly based on that and not for other functions such as writing/note taking and gaming ( like how XP-pen is popular for use in games like OSU )First of all the price point. Veikk’s pen is very affordable and costs less than Wacom’s weakest intuos ( which replaced their bamboo series?) which already is a nice advantage.

Compact and precise
This is a very impressive budget drawing tablet. It’s perfect for my granddaughter who is starting. The tablet and stylus are of excellent quality. She found it comfortable to use for her drawing, although the surface area is pretty small, she soon got used to it. The sensitivity of using the stylus on the tablet is perfect, she was able to achieve very precise drawings. Overall, easy to use, good software with customisable options. It’s super compact and easily fits into her laptop bag to capture her creativity whenever and wherever it strikes. The XP-PEN Deco XS is perfect for beginners who want to learn to drawn digitally.

Works well
This review is for the XP-PEN Deco Fun XS Drawing Tablet 4.8" x 3" Graphic Tablets with Battery-free Stylus Digital Pen Tablet for OSU! Gameplay, Homeschooling, Writing, Animation and Business Signature (Space Blue)Never used a drawing tablet before so was not really sure what to expect. The product is well made and god quality. It was easy to setup, took a couple minutes. Using the tablet is dead simple and it works really well. It great that the stylus is battery free and does not require regular charging. Great product would recommend.

Could not make it work on an Android Phone
This is advertised as working well with Android. My son could not make it work and I also tried and it just could not work. Installing it on Windows was easy but it was ordered for use by son on his Android phone. For me, it is too small for comfortable use on a desktop and the perfect size for mobile use.It is a good small tablet so I wish it could work on Android.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Great-I am new to the world of screenless tablets. This is a great entry-level product with an extra nib, a very smooth surface, a good value graphics tablet, and I find it lacks Bluetooth connectivity It is an advantage because I can also use a wireless keyboard and mouse. Software download and installation is very simple.
