Third-party reviews

What we like about XP Pen Deco 640

  • High pressure sensitivity (16K levels) provides smooth and precise strokes
  • Very affordable price point, making it excellent for beginners and students
  • Compact and lightweight design (0.37 lbs) makes it highly portable for travel
  • Good responsiveness with zero reported input lag during drawing
  • Easy setup process with intuitive driver software for most users
  • The 3mm low-profile design helps reduce wrist fatigue during longer sessions

What we don't like about XP Pen Deco 640

  • Small active drawing area (6 x 4 inches) can feel restrictive for professional work
  • The top touch buttons are often described as 'useless' or uncomfortable because they only respond to the pen
  • Significant hardware smoothing reported by some users, which can be undesirable for competitive gaming (e.g., OSU!)
  • Driver conflicts occur if other tablet drivers (like Wacom) are installed simultaneously
  • Poor mobile experience reported on certain Android devices despite advertised compatibility

Verdict

The XP-Pen Deco 640 is an ultra-portable drawing tablet featuring an active area of 16cm x 9cm (approximately 6.3 x 3.5 inches) and a slim 7.7mm profile weighing just 170g. It stands out with industry-leading 16,384 levels of pressure sensitivity, 60° tilt support, a 5080 LPI resolution, and a report rate of ≥220RPS for low-latency performance. Main pros include its extreme portability, 8 soft shortcut keys for efficiency, and a battery-free stylus that requires no charging, making it ideal for beginners and OSU! players. However, some users have noted that the shortcut keys require the pen tip to activate rather than finger touch, which can feel less intuitive, and the small active area may feel restrictive for large-scale digital painting.
