ValeTrig Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and I recently purchased Affinity Designer and Photo, and I think both are fantastic products. Today I also bought a graphics tablet, the Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium. Is this tablet supported by Affinity software? Thank you very much for your help in advance! Best Regards, Valerio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValeTrig Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 I bought it on Amazon today, so it’ll be delivered tomorrow. The company was created by ex Wacom employees and they were given freedom to do whatever they wanted. All the reviews I’ve read or seen on YouTube are very positive. I’m a big fan of any company who gives the finger to the establishment! https://www.xencelabs.com/ https://petapixel.com/2021/05/03/xencelabs-pen-tablet-review-already-better-than-wacom/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted May 9, 2021 Staff Share Posted May 9, 2021 Hi @ValerioTrigari, Welcome to the Affinity Forums I can confirm that this isn't a model we've tested internally so we can't be 100% certain, however I have found the following review online, which verifies the following: https://www.parkablogs.com/content/review-xencelabs-pen-tablet-medium-wireless Quote I did not experience any glitches with various drawing software I've tested, namely Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer (...) Pressure and tilt sensitivity work as expected. I hope this helps!

Tilt is available for Pixel brushes in the Pixel Persona of Designer, however there is no tilt option for the Vector Brush tool unfortunately Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Thanks @Dan C, I missed that review! It seems it works fine, but I hope you’ll get the chance to test it internally. I shall report back with my impressions on the device. Do bear in mind though that I’m not an expert on graphics tablets, nor am I a graphic artist! Val Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PixelPest Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Thanks @Dan C - I have to check again - I got a brand-new XP-Pen Display tablet. (wasn´t expecting "Tilt" for vector brushes BTW) 😉 Dan C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ValeTrig Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 You’re welcome! If there’s anything you’d like me to test from a user perspective, I’d be happy to help. By the way, does Affinity have a Discord server? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted May 11, 2021 Staff Share Posted May 11, 2021 Thanks for the offer, I'll be certain to keep this in mind and I will inform our QA team, in case they have anything specific to be checked 19 minutes ago, ValeTrig said: By the way, does Affinity have a Discord server?
