About XP-Pen G430S OSU Tablet Ultrathin Graphic Tablet
Overall Feedback:
74% positive
90% appreciated the battery life, though 10% found it drained quickly
The stylus is battery-free, so there's no need to scramble for chargers.
The pen is lightweight for jumps as it has no batteries.
The Huon tablets' pens require constant charging as they run on batteries.
88% praised the seamless compatibility, while 12% experienced issues
The tablet works perfectly with Gimp right out of the box without any driver installs.
The 'Screen Ratio' feature on my tablet does not provide the correct dimensions.
81% appreciated the customizable options, but 19% found them limited
The stylus is very responsive, accurate and offers options without needing a battery.
I can customize the tablet by working with two monitors, assigning functions to the two buttons on the pen, adjusting the size of the working area, and changing the pen pressure settings.
The pen has two buttons - one for right click and the other for middle click.
It takes time to set up the product and one needs to install the specific software or else there will be no customization options such as disabling the pen tip click.

88% praised the drawing accuracy, while 12% experienced some lag
After just a couple of weeks, I have been drawing exceptionally well.
I find the tablet unsuitable for drawing lines with my shoulder and arm due to its small size.
The tablet is not pressure sensitive in illustrator, PS, etc. and is not suitable for drawing as the line size remains the same regardless of pressure.
I found the drivers to be buggy.
85% praised the durable construction, but 15% faced issues
I recommend the XPPen G430S as a reliable and high-quality drawing tablet, even suggesting that it is durable enough to take home.
I initially thought the product would be too small, but it turned out to be a good size.
I have noticed that the tablet has an issue with input dropping when pressing the buttons on the side of the pen, which happens frequently during gameplay.
The only drawback of the tablet is that the USB cable is not detachable, which means if it gets damaged, I would have to buy a new tablet.

91% liked the portable design
I enjoy using the XP-Pen G430 because it is compact, light, and doesn't require drivers. It's really helpful when I'm traveling and want to have a tablet ready for use.
The tablet is the perfect size for osu and the pen is super light and comfortable to hold, making it easy to do maps with jumping and high speeds.
It is good for a secondary tablet when traveling or studying abroad.
The tablet is practical to carry around and comfortable to rest the hand on the desk due to its small and thin design.
79% appreciated the pressure sensitivity, though 21% didn't
Signing on a piece of fine parchment is made smooth and precise with 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity.
Connecting to my MacBook was easy and the pressure sensitivity worked great.
I have not noticed any difference in using the Star G430s 8192-level pressure sensitivity stylus and Wacom intuos drawing tablet with a 4096-level pressure sensitivity stylus.
I wanted a pressure-sensitive tablet for drawing, but found this one unsuitable as it only comes with a driver and not the necessary program to adjust features.
82% praised the high-resolution, though 18% found it lacking
The tablet is very responsive and accurate. The stylus offers options without needing a battery.
I tried everything the support website told me to do, but the pen and tablet still randomly stopped working with no resolution.
84% liked the tilt recognition, while 16% experienced glitches
The tablet is very responsive and works without touching the pad. It works above the pad and needs no pressure to function while in contact with the pad.
When I move the pen in circles, the cursor on the screen makes sharp angles randomly instead of following the true circular path, indicating that the tablet is not recognizing the tilt of my pen correctly.
I prefer a smaller active area and have noticed some small issues with jitter in the upper left corner, but I can easily remap the surface away from it.
