I searching for a tablet for drawing and discovered this one. Anyone tried drawing on it? I wondering if the experience is good.

On the page they doesn’t mention if the screen supports drawing pens, but it’s possible to order an MPP pen with it, so I assume that it works with Wacom or Surface pens?

    In my limited experience Wacom pens don’t work with anything but Wacom tablets… I don’t own one of the “new” fancy ones with a screen, but capacitive (most new touch screens) don’t seem to detect the Wacom pen. There are pens out there that are supposed to work with any capacitive screen, but I don’t think they provide the force/angle information that the Wacom pen does.

      the wacom pens on wacom tablets are solid but plenty of other pens support force/angle and those do work with the starlite.

        You should probably help out the OP by mentioning a few by name ;-)

          any mpp pen should support pressure. mpp 2.0 will have tilt and such. personally I have a lenovo precision 2.

            Cool. I wasn’t aware that tilt was coming in the next version :-)

                Now I’m confused again… the specific Lenovo pen you got supported tilt? You mentioned mmp 2.0 was coming, or something to that effect, that was the next version I was referring to.

                  the pen I bought supports tilt. The one starlabs sells does not.

                  MPP is the protocol and has different versions like how Bluetooth or WiFi do. MPP 2.0 has existed for a while it isn’t new.

                    Thank you for taking the time to clarify all that.

                    Tilt is really critical for a good drawing and especially painting experience.

      Yes, it’s totally expected! But looks like this screen supports MPP pens.
