That is an excellent question since we have more than one Pen Tablet and the Quick Keys in our product lineup.
We can look at this by breaking down the categories of users and describing which tablet would best fit your needs.
Our tablets are designed to meet your workflow and environment needs. The different classifications are intended solely to show, in general, which groups us which Pen Tablets. You are not "stuck" in one of the groups below.
Digital artist, animator, web content creator, illustrator, or professional in the creative community: For this group of people, the Pen Tablet Medium Bundle or the Pen Tablet Medium Bundle SE. This gives you the most tools and a Medium sized Pen Tablet to create your original illustration, artwork, and designs. With the Pen Tablet Medium, you have a tablet with an active area of 10.33 inches by 5.8 inches with a total footprint of 12.61 inches by 9.16 inches. You can use it either cabled or in wireless mode with the included wireless dongle that removes all lag in wireless mode. It comes with everything you need; two pens, USB cables, a Pen case, Nibs, USB-A to USB-C adapter, a nib extractor, and a carrying sleeve for when you are on the go. It also includes the incredible Quick Keys, which can be cabled or wireless. It has eight buttons with five sets, giving you forty buttons per application, plus four Dial selections for dual actions. This gives you an incredible 44 customizable buttons per application. This is a game changer! | |
The Photographer, Artist, and Student on the Go: I would suggest the Pen Tablet Small + Quick Keys for this group. This gives you the most flexible combination for the person on the go. With the Pen Tablet Small, your active area is 6.93 inches by 3.89 inches and overall size of 9.21 inches by 7.27 inches. This is more than enough drawing area to make those photo edits and also allows you to work on a cramped desk, as the Pen Tablet Medium takes up the least amount of desk space in our Pen Tablet lineup. It comes with everything you need; two pens, USB cables, a Pen case, Nibs, USB-A to USB-C adapter, a nib extractor, and a carrying sleeve for when you are on the go. When you add the Quick Keys to your tool bag with the Pen Tablet Small, you are adding so much in the way of maximizing your workflow and increasing your efficiency. The Quick Keys has eight buttons with five sets, giving you forty buttons per application, plus four Dial selections for dual actions. This gives you an incredible 44 customizable buttons per application. | |
As an aspiring artist, I want to doodle artist, or the work from home professional: I would suggest the Pen Tablet Medium for those just starting their digital art journey. You receive the same excellent Pen Tablet Medium as you do with the Pen Tablet Medium Bundle. The difference is you do not receive the Quick Keys. With the Pen Tablet Medium, you have a tablet with an active area of 10.33 inches by 5.8 inches with a total footprint of 12.61 inches by 9.16 inches. You can use it either cabled or in wireless mode with the included wireless dongle that removes all lag in wireless mode. It comes with everything you need; two pens, USB cables, a Pen case, Nibs, USB-A to USB-C adapter, a nib extractor, and a carrying sleeve for when you are on the go. | |
The non-artist, gamer: I would suggest the Quick Keys for the non-artist, the person who uses many programs and wants a way to access shortcut keys and features in the application quickly. This is a handy device that can be used cabled or wirelessly. You can use it to run the application, and if the function or feature you are using has a shortcut key, you can assign that to a button or the Dialon the Quick Keys. This is a game changer! It has eight buttons with five sets, giving you forty buttons per application, plus four Dial selections for dual actions. This gives you an incredible 44 customizable buttons per application. It will not open your garage door or turn your TV on. |
The above categories and Pen Tablet selections are not rigid and are for purposes of general guidelines to help direct you to a Xencelabs product that best fits your needs.
