Product Information
Full details
The Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium is a professional-grade creative tool designed for digital illustrators, retouchers, and designers who prioritize ergonomic comfort and precise input control. By offering a 16:9 native aspect ratio and a specialized curved palm rest, it allows for extended, fatigue-free work sessions while matching the dimensions of standard creative monitors. While the medium size provides an ideal balance of workspace and portability, new users may experience a learning curve when transitioning from other tablet brands to the Xencelabs interface and dual-pen setup.

FAQs
Can I use both pens at the same time?
The tablet is designed for one active input at a time; you can swap between the two pens depending on which is more comfortable for the task.
Is this tablet compatible with Chromebooks?
Support varies by model; check the Xencelabs official compatibility list for the most current information on ChromeOS support.
How often should I change the pen nib?
This depends on your drawing pressure. Generally, replace the nib when it shows visible signs of wear or creates a scratchy sensation on the tablet surface.
Does the tablet require a battery charge?
The tablet includes an internal battery for wireless operation and should be charged periodically using the provided cable.
Can I use the tablet with dual monitors?
Yes, the driver allows you to map the tablet area to a specific monitor or to span the entire screen surface.
Troubleshooting
Pen not responding to screen input
Ensure the tablet is plugged in correctly or that the wireless dongle is firmly seated. Verify that the device driver is active in the system tray.
Erratic cursor movement
Check for electromagnetic interference near the tablet and ensure the surface is clean. Recalibrate the pen pressure within the driver settings.
Pressure sensitivity not working in software
Ensure the application being used (e.g., Photoshop) has pressure sensitivity enabled in the brush settings and that the tablet driver is updated.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the tablet, connect the device to your computer via USB or wireless dongle and download the latest drivers from the Xencelabs support website. Ensure your operating system permissions allow for tablet input access. Compatibility is broad, supporting Windows, macOS, and Linux environments.
For care, keep the drawing surface free of debris to prevent micro-scratches. Use only the provided nibs and replace them as soon as you notice the tip becoming flat or sharp. The palm rest can be wiped down with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth to remove oils from skin contact.
