XPPen unveils world-first 16K pressure level technology with X3 Pro Chip Stylus for the new era of digital drawing performance
In recent years, more and more people have begun to pay attention to the handwriting and drawing experience on tablets, from professional drawing tablets to consumer pads.
Both professional and consumer brands are constantly improving this technology, often focusing on pressure levels as a key indicator. More recently, globally renowned digital drawing technology manufacturer, XPPen achieved a disruptive breakthrough which revolutionized the industry in May, introducing 16,384 pressure levels thanks to its chip stylus technology.
This means the industry is soon saying goodbye to the era of 8,192 pressure levels and embracing a whole new drawing experience for the next generation, which is undoubtedly exciting news for those with extremely detailed creative needs.
So why does XPPen hone in on chip stylus technology? What does the chip stylus mean for industry development? And what does 16,384 pressure levels mean for users? Let's unravel the mystery together.
Why 16K pressure levels?
XPPen recently launched its chip stylus digital strategy, providing smarter connectivity, faster computing power, and more stable consistency in technology performance. The upcoming X3 Pro Roller Pen, poised for launch at the year’s end, is set to redefine the digital drawing and writing experience once again.
In addition, XPPen is poised to unveil an upgraded variant of the non-flagship Artist series. This new incorporation of digital stylus technology aims to allow a wider user demographic to enjoy the enriched creative experiences ushered by chip stylus technology.
Integrating X3 Pro Chip into stylus to achieve 16K pressure levels
Unlike traditional analog stylus that simply upgrade to 16,384 pressure levels through software, XPPen embeds chips into its stylus to achieve 16,384 pressure levels through digital computing chips.
The 16,384 pressure levels of the X3 Pro chip stylus brings a more ergonomic pressure curve with pressure sensing recognition that better conforms to human engineering “muscle memory” - more sensitive and delicate in commonly used pressure ranges, while also breaking through industry bottlenecks in high pressure ranges.
This means gentler initial pressure response, allowing creation to extremely naturally fit handwriting from the moment the stylus touches the tablet, creating a writing experience of “exquisite control down to the finest detail”.
In addition to upgrading pressure levels parameters, the birth of the XPPen X3 Pro chip stylus also brings the following upgrades:
- Improved data transmission accuracy: More accurate data transmission through the introduction of digital computing chips, drawing information is not affected by errors and interference.
- Faster response speed: Digital computing chips have stronger processing capabilities to process and convert drawing data faster, improving response speed and real-time performance of drawing devices.
- Enhanced anti-interference capability: Digital signal transmission is not affected by external interference, and chip stylus has better anti-interference capability to ensure stable and accurate drawing signals.
- Upgraded consistency of pressure level across the entire tablet.
Superior performance and new roller design take drawing experience to new levels
This year, XPPen will also launch a roller stylus based on the X3 Pro chip stylus. Its core innovation is the ability to automatically and quickly identify different types of pen IDs, allowing creators to freely switch between different types of stylus models during the creation process while maintaining comfort during drawing.
It also enables custom quick function keys and pressure curves for each stylus, achieving more convenient control and more sensitive and natural response. The roller stylus resolves the technical bottlenecks of previous technology in sending multi-command signals and stable data transmission.
The technology of ultimate digital drawing designed to empower art work
With the massive outbreak of digital content and popularization of high-definition devices, consumer demand for refinement and clarity of digital content continues to rise. These demands will also push digital content to be presented in an even more delicate way.
With chip stylus solutions that align with long-term technology layouts and anchor future development directions, XPPen continuously meets users' pursuit for ever more refined and ultimate creative experiences, supporting extraordinary artistic creations through products integrating multiple excellent performances.
Adhering to the R&D concept of "technology for all", XPPen invests greater R&D enthusiasm and pursuit in the ultimate creative experience for users. With AR and VR technologies gaining popularity globally, in addition to achieving higher data dimensions in areas like responsiveness and delicacy, XPPen's pressure levels technologies can also explore possibilities of combining drawing display with future technology scenarios, to expand broader application scenarios driven by technology. In the future, XPPen will embed 16,384 pressure levels with chip stylus technology into more terminal devices, benefiting more user groups to achieve deeper technological accessibility, leading the global digital drawing industry into innovative development.
