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.

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

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

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

                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.
