lovely video, thank you very much! I’m probably going to finally buy this as my first drawing tablet with a screen after 7 years of drawing digitally on mobile phones 😆 I bought a screenless wacom tablet many years ago and could not get used to it at all…do you know by any chance if the wacom drivers may interfere with the new xp ones and therefore if it would be better for me to uninstall the wacom ones first or if I can keep them with no problems ? 🤔
thanks in advance in case you’re going to reply 😊
Hope you have a wonderful day, keep up the good work and videos!

I saw in my research a commenter who actually mentioned that the xp driver was funky UNTIL he uninstalled the wacom one he had from before. I guess you could try installing it and checking before uninstalling wacom's. However, if it doesn't work properly, that would be a likely culprit, but it's fixable even after the fact. Happy drawing!

Sorry for the super late reply! Did you get the XP Pen in the meantime? I can tell that I had Wacom, Huion AND XP Pen drivers installed all at once (on Win11), and never experienced any issues. The drivers used to be weird on me, but not with their latest versions.

@@plasticpen i see, thank you very much! I ended up getting a wacom cintiq 16, it works amazingly but has just one issue : sometimes the pen stops working as if it was disconnected until i put it at the bottom of the screen where the application bar is , then it starts working again right away as if nothing happened…it has does this ever since i got the tablet (it’s brand new, not 2nd hand).
do you have any ideas regarding this issue or any possible things i could do to fix it?
thanks again for the reply by the way 😊 really appreciate it
best wishes

I just saw that XP Pen has another Christmas sale, so you'll get the tablet for a honestly great price here: bit.ly/41coMRW

Ho una domanda, in questi giorni sto decidendo se prendere la XP Pen 15.6 Pro, oppure la XP Pen 16 2nd gen (quella di questo video), hai qualche suggerimento?

I don't have any comparison between these two, unfortunately.
