Pros & Cons
Pros
The tablet is great otherwise and comes with nib replacements for the stylus and the tool to remove the nib (silver metal ring) it also works with fire alpaca and gimp. I like that the program for the tablet let's you reprogram your * to do what you n... Read More
Overall satisfied with the affordability and quality of the xp-pen g430s. Also surprisingly durable. I recommend to all aunties to make their niece and nephews happy.
The g430s is so small and lightweight that it’s not a struggle to carry it around or put it in a backpack. It's the same width as my casio fx-991ex calc horizontally.
Cons
The real estate for holding it still is useless. The customer service is non existent. Asked for a refund. In windows their is a recurring problem where the software wont open and you have to redownload it every time and doesn't save settings.

The pen is very good doesn’t feel cheap

However after testing just a few lines and dots that thin screen film that came on it was so shredded up and ripped that i coul... Read More

My first take away is upon unboxing the device there is a very thin screen film on it that says to keep it on while you test the product and if it is removed the product cannot be returned
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I thought to myself okay if i have to keep it on i will until i decide if the product works for me

However after testing just a few lines and dots that thin screen film that came on it was so shredded up and ripped that i could not even continue to test the product to my expectations the product claims 16k pressure levels so i wanted to test this feature but the film was preventing me from getting any proper strokes in as the pen was getting caught on it and messing things up
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So end result i removed the film ultimately deciding that i liked the product enough but primarily i removed it so i can use it properly
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Which i found out quickly that the 16k pressure levels was causing issues in other apps with pressure curves that are design for the commonly used 8k pressure levels

So as a beginner i was very confused getting my brushes to work right in drawing apps
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Pair that with the concept that the buttons that are included on the tablet cannot be pressed or felt with by the brush so every time you want to undo or zoom in you have to physically look down at the buttons and if its dark it is very hard to see them
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Not only that but the buttons dont feel large enough or sensitive enough i found myself tapping the buttons either not enough times or too many times and accidently touching other apps on my screen trying to get them to activate
