Graphics Drawing Tablet XP-Pen Star G430S wired, 5080 lpi, 101.6×76.2 mm active area, black

XP-Pen Star G430S wired graphics drawing tablet provides a compact 101.6 × 76.2 mm (4" × 3") active area in a slim, portable black body. The tablet connects via USB and accepts a battery-free passive pen with 8192 levels of pressure sensitivity and 5080 LPI resolution for accurate pen input. With a thin 2 mm profile and support for both right- and left-handed operation, the Star G430S is intended for digital sketching, note-taking, photo editing and rhythm-based play such as OSU! while remaining compatible with major operating systems and creative applications.

Advantages

The device delivers high pen sensitivity and fine positional resolution in a space-saving form factor, combining 8192 pressure levels and 5080 LPI to reproduce subtle strokes and pressure dynamics. The included P01 passive pen requires no battery or charging, offering uninterrupted use and immediate responsiveness. Its wired USB connection ensures stable communication and low latency, while the support for right- and left-hand orientation makes the tablet flexible for different users. Compatibility with common creative software and operating systems extends its practical use for learning, hobby, and mobile workflows.

How to use

Connect the XP-Pen Star G430S to a computer using the supplied USB cable. If required for advanced customization, install the official driver to adjust pen sensitivity, orientation (left or right handed), and button assignments; however, the tablet can operate in basic mode without driver installation for immediate use with applications that accept pen input. Use the passive P01 stylus to draw directly on the active area; varying applied pressure will change stroke thickness and opacity in supported software. For signature capture, open a compatible PDF viewer or signature application and sign directly on the tablet surface.

Recommendations

For stable performance, place the tablet on a flat, non-reflective surface and ensure the USB connection is secure. Calibrate pen settings in the driver or application for optimal mapping between the active area and the screen. Keep the included pen nib in good condition and replace it if excessive wear affects precision. When using the tablet for OSU! or fast-paced input, enable the wired connection and check report rate settings to reduce latency.
