Hey [ Ducky ],
bought the XP-Pen 430 a few days ago and own the Huion H420 and Wacom CTL-480s aswell.
Positiv things about the XP-Pen:
+ the pen is light (no battery like the the Huion) and feels nice aswell.
+ the thin design of the tablet is comfortable for the hand
Negativ things about the XP-Pen:
- the pen needs a lot of activation force to register a click -> pressure is needed to draw in programms or scrolling through your map list = feels wierd.
- if you are dragging or resting your hand on the tablet it bends down (cause its so thin and rubber feet are too high/not placed ideal) makes it again feel wierd.
Neutral things about the XP-Pen:
o the usb cable is attached to the tablet and cannot be removed.
Personally i would prefer the Huion over the XP-Pen if you are dragging. If you are hovering its better than the huion (lighter and smaller pen + bending of the tablet is less noticeable)
In conclusion: save for a wacom tablet.
I have G430 too.. I noticed that different people have different experiences with this tablet so I guess, it's a hit or miss buying this tablet.
- the pen needs a lot of activation force to register a click -> pressure is needed to draw in programms or scrolling through your map list = feels wierd.
Its enough for me to rest my pen on a tablet and it registers light click. So I don't need much force to activate it, feels normal scrolling through songs.
- if you are dragging or resting your hand on the tablet it bends down (cause its so thin and rubber feet are too high/not placed ideal) makes it again feel wierd.
It does bend, but I don't feel it weird (I'm a drager too).
Those rubber feet are very good, with CTL-480 I needed to somehow attach tablet to the table, with G430 rubber feet hold the tablet really well, it's hard for me to move it while I'm dragging.
the usb cable is attached to the tablet and cannot be removed.
That's a bummer to me, because I like to take my osu! gear with me.
Additional negative for me is:
- Pen nibs are falling off with light shake, so I had to hack nibs (widened the hole in the nib by sticking small screw driver in it) and now they hold really well
Positives:
- No input lag on my PC, feels like CTL-480 with old drivers. (however on my work laptop input lag is terrible, this might be because I haven't installed drivers on it)
Well in conclusion if my G430 dies/breaks I will buy another one, I love this one more then CTL-480.
Of course I want to try out H420 or just 420, but I'm waiting for osu! store restock, cause I want one with osu! logo :>. PM me if you want to sell your white one.
