Verdict

The Xencelabs Pen Tablet Small is a professional, compact drawing device featuring a 6.93 x 3.89 inch active area with a native 16:9 aspect ratio and a slim 8mm profile. Key specifications include 8,192 levels of pressure sensitivity, a 3g initial activation force, and 60-degree tilt recognition across two included battery-free EMR pens (one thick 3-button and one thin 2-button). Its main characteristics include an ergonomic curved palm rest, customisable LED corner lights, and 16-hour wireless battery life via a 2.4GHz dongle. Major pros are its exceptional build quality, the value of including two distinct pens, and a high-quality accessory bundle with a padded travel sleeve. Notable cons include the lack of multi-touch support, the requirement of a USB-A port for the proprietary wireless dongle, and a limited number of physical shortcut buttons on the tablet itself compared to larger models.

Xencelabs Pen Tablet SmallGo to product viewer dialog for this item. review: my favourite drawing...

The Xencelabs Pen Tablet Small is an exceptionally accurate drawing tablet featuring a high resolution of 5080 lines per inch and 8,192 pressure levels, directly matching the performance of the premium Wacom Intuos Pro S. Measuring 9.21 x 7.27 inches with a 6.93 x 3.89-inch active drawing area, it is highly portable, well-made, and comfortably designed with a tapered edge and customizable corner LEDs. The tablet operates either via a USB-C wired connection or wirelessly through a dedicated Bluetooth dongle. Standout positive features include its great value for money and a generous accessory bundle that packs in a high-quality travel case and two separate, specialized stylus pens (a standard thick three-button pen and a thin model ideal for sketching). However, the device has a few noticeable drawbacks, most notably its lack of touchpad gesture support, which forces a reliance on physical navigation. It only includes three customizable buttons on the device itself, making the separate purchase of the $89 / £95 Xencelabs Quick Keys accessory almost essential for users who rely heavily on shortcuts and a radial dial. Additionally, its...

The Xencelabs Pen Tablet Small is positioned as a high-quality, budget-friendly alternative to the Wacom Intuos Pro, offering excellent performance, exceptional battery life, and a comprehensive bundle featuring two styluses and protective cases. Key advantages include its versatile wireless/wired operation, high-resolution tracking with tilt sensitivity, and extensive, customizable driver software for Windows, Mac, and Linux. DPReview However, the device lacks built-in multi-touch surface controls, which may limit the workflow of users who rely on gestures for zooming or rotating.

Xencelab Pen Tablet Small Review - CGMagazine

The Xencelabs Pen Tablet Small is highlighted as a highly responsive, portable drawing solution featuring a 6.93 x 3.89-inch active area, two distinct, high-quality styli, and customizable LED markers. It delivers precise, clean lines comparable to larger, more expensive tablets, making it an excellent, professional-grade option for artists requiring a compact workspace. However, the smaller physical, while functional, may feel restricted to users accustomed to larger drawing surfaces.

Xencelabs Media Pen Tablet Review - DEVELOP3D

The Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium is a highly professional, robust drawing peripheral that offers a credible, high-quality alternative to market leader Wacom. It features an active 16:9 drawing area resembling a 13-inch screen, 8,192 industry-standard levels of pressure sensitivity, and a 60-degree pen tilt range. Key advantages include exceptional build quality, seamless wireless connectivity via a USB dongle, and battery-free EMR pens—delivering both a chunky three-button pen and a slimmer two-button option in a dedicated storage case. Users can work wirelessly for up to 16 hours on a 2.5-hour charge, and the tablet's setup software is incredibly intuitive, making application-based shortcut customization simple and efficient. However, the tablet itself lacks a traditional array of on-device physical buttons, sporting only three keys at the top and offloading extensive customizability to the separate Quick Keys remote. While this standalone Quick Keys device is highly useful—featuring an OLED display, a physical dial, and up to 40 shortcuts per application—it introduces a learning curve for users managing the disconnect between the drawing tablet and their workstation monitor.

Xencelabs Pen Tablet Review: Created by Artists for Artists

This review from Fnac Le Éclaireur evaluates the screenless Xencelabs Medium Pack (M Pack) graphics tablet bundle, which retails on fnac.com for €359.99. The reviewer notes that the device is incredibly thin, lightweight (398g), and offers an impressive 16 hours of wireless battery life. Designed ergonomically with a built-in wrist rest and customizable LED active-area indicators, the tablet stands out for its high level of personalization through the Xencelabs software. The bundle provides excellent out-of-the-box value by including two different-sized styluses (thick and thin), 10 replacement nibs, a carrying case, a wireless dongle, and the Quick Keys remote control, which features an OLED screen and a physical dial to manage up to 40 shortcuts. The review highlights several core strengths and weaknesses based on feedback from internal graphic designers. On the positive side, the tablet delivers exceptional hardware fluidity, a swift and automated driver setup on macOS, and highly granular pressure and tilt sensitivity configurations for both styluses. However, the primary downside identified is that the Quick Keys remote is largely non-essential for artists already accustomed to standard keyboard shortcuts....

Summary of the review

We tested the Xencelabs pen tablet, a new tool for creative professionals!

The Xencelabs Medium graphics tablet is a drawing tool tailored for creative professionals like architects and designers, offering an ultra-thin 8mm profile with a curved wrist rest for optimal ergonomic comfort. It features a 16:9 active drawing area and includes two battery-free, wireless styluses equipped with 8,192 pressure levels, eraser functions, tilt recognition, and zero lag. A key component of the bundle is the Quick Keys remote, which dramatically boosts workflow efficiency by allowing creators to map up to 40 custom shortcuts per application across multiple software packages. Testing revealed that the tablet integrates effortlessly and instinctively with software like Adobe Photoshop and Rhino 3D, though Autocad requires a slightly steeper learning curve to master navigation smoothly. On the positive side, the review highlights the tablet's generous surface area, lightweight and highly precise dual pens with customizable mouse-click buttons, and an inclusive premium packaging that features a protective carrying case, extra nibs, and extensive online tutorials. However, a major drawback is the device's heavy initial consumption of computer ports, as plugging in the tablet, shortcut remote, and stylus charging wires...
