I am amazed so far by the quality of this product plus the useful extras. Prior experience with pens was with a Wacom Tablet w/o display. Compared to that, yes the XP-Pen is more sensitive to pressure and has extras, like the glove, the pen stand and the protective film for the tablet. So personally I feel like it was an upgrade.

My main usage is for sculpting 3D and drawing textures, this is the reason why I wanted a pen with more attention to detail of movements so I can sculpt little details or change pressure without being in need of in-app settings all the time.

On the pros:
-The tablet reads pen inputs at a surprising speed so I can use it for handwriting or as a mouse.
-Tilting works as advertised, you can grab your pen however you like and it works perfectly at most angles (compared to the Wacom which had to point straight up)
-Plug and play device, you can use it's own software for more customization, which is practical and well made, you can change the pressure input curve, remap all buttons to macros and even remap the tablet buttons.
-Good response times from the tablet buttons, feels like your keyboard buttons
-The protective film is very useful for those who are afraid of scratching the surface and does not hinder performance at all

On the cons:
-The glove is a tight fit on the fingers and loose on the wrist but hey, you're no longer smudging your device or have your hand stick to the surface
-There is some slight inconvenience to input reading when you move the pen too fast, like skipping 1-2 frames. It happens randomly but thankfully not often. May happen once per 2 hours of usage.
-Pen buttons are a bit slow and clicking on surfaces or menus like a mouse is sometimes difficult but you get used to it

Well, I have the XP-Pen Deco 01 V2 for almost 3 months now.
Initially, I struggled with the fact that I was looking at the screen and writing on the tablet.
I couldn't make a straight line :)
But after several days of practice, it became the main tool for note-taking.
I usually use it with OneNote and I have actually managed to almost eliminate the use of paper in my office.
I write everything in OneNote and export it to PDF.
In general, you can write free text in both Word and Acrobat, but OneNote will be very helpful. The only problem I encountered with this application was that I couldn't enlarge the pen tip on the screen. The only solution so that I don't constantly search for the black dot was to enable mouse pointer trails from the control panel.
The build quality is satisfactory.
The included pen also seems good to me. I struggle a bit with the integrated buttons as I accidentally press them, so if the same happens to you, simply disable their function.
The buttons on the tablet itself are also VERY useful.
By downloading the drivers from the official site, you can customize their function (and also that of the pen).
I have set it to switch between pen/eraser, undo, page up, page down.
Overall, the buttons are very convenient.
The resolution is also excellent. I believe it will meet the needs of professional designers as well.
It is lightweight and easy to carry along with the laptop.
Don't be afraid of the initial learning time. Soon it will become an indispensable tool!

The xp-pen is one of the largest companies in the digitizer creation space as it competes with others with very good quality and friendly prices on its products. Based on the above, the xp-pen deco 01 fully defines these characteristics.
- Its construction quality is very good as it provides a "premium" sturdiness despite its small thickness.
- Its large surface is more than enough for those who want to engage in digital art but also for office work as its response is immediate.
- The pen, in terms of its construction, is nothing special as it is a simple pen with the positive large sensitivity range it has (pressure sensitive).
- As for the buttons, it has 8 on the tablet itself and two on the pen, which greatly facilitate anything you use them for. They are also fully customizable through the program you download.
- The tablet drivers can be easily found through the xp-pen/drivers download site.
- Additionally, it comes with a pen stand with 9 additional tips for replacement in case they break, and a glove to prevent leaving marks on the surface.
In summary, the xp-pen deco 01 is value for money as it offers a wide range of capabilities and very good construction quality for its price.
I use it for drawing, animation, and photo editing as it has not disappointed me in anything so far.

A small tip for those who purchase it:
- Some programs (e.g. Photoshop) in order to fully utilize the pen's pressure sensitivity, you need to have Windows Ink enabled, which can be found at the bottom left of the program's main menu that is downloaded along with the drivers
