This crosses into my mind often after the tablet I've owned for 4 years acts up time by time. So yeah, I'd like to start a survey on what do you do when your tablet acts up!


It's not required to answer these all--
  • What kind of tablet do you currently have?
  • How long do you have your current tablet?
  • Are you happy with what it currently is or are you troubleshooting with it?
  • What are your common problems with your tablet? (aside from losing pen pressure time by time)
For those who changed tablets:
  • What was your first tablet?
  • Why did you change your tablet?
Extra questions:
  • Do you use android charger wires for your tablet?
  • Do you change pen nibs?
You are always free to expand more than these questions, by the way!

  • What kind of tablet do you currently have?
    • An XP-Pen Artist 15.6 (reg) that I've found on a deal online. It only won me over with a free protective sleeve since it makes it all the more portable. Though it doesn't make up for the lack of a tilt function and kickstand, the performance is a massive upgrade.
  • How long do you have your current tablet?
    • Almost a year now and never did I think I would able to actually own a drawing monitor :,D
  • Are you happy with what it currently is or are you troubleshooting with it?
    • For the most part, I'm quite happy with it. Anything related to the tablet itself can be solved by restarting the computer or reinstalling a new driver.
  • What are your common problems with your tablet? (aside from losing pen pressure time by time)
    • There are a few bugs that can sometimes be found in very few of the programs, the most prominent being Medibang Paint when it's set to 'tablet mode'. Another is that due to not having a tilt-function, I can sometimes feel a bit of parallax depending on my sitting position. This last one is more of a pet peeve, as I have to install the tablet in a specific pattern, or it will not display properly and I have to restart a few times.

  • What was your first tablet?
    • A Surface Pro 4, Or if it counts, a small toshiba computer with touchscreen capabilities.
  • Why did you change your tablet?
    • I really hate how easily fragile and wearing out the nibs are for its pen on both ( was using an adonit for the latter) -- and the frick when something so easy to lose cost so much! The first was due to it becoming too outdated and slow, and the costs of replacing the easily worn-out adonit tips was biting the wallet hard. 
    • Though the kickstart on the other one was that I accidentally dropped it from the teeny lap desk (the one attached to a chair) at the study lounge, when I tried to get up and offer help to someone. I've been covered by the warranty thankfully, but then it's been another 3 years then that I decided to upgrade my gear when I finally saved up my funds.

  • Do you use android charger wires for your tablet?
    • That's a thing? O___o N/A on mine.
  • Do you change pen nibs?
    • On my old tools of trade, yes. On my current tablet? Not really as often since I usually draw lightly and change my pressure settings to accommodate it.
