Our first smart chip ever!
More natural technology, more powerful creativity.

Allow us to introduce you to the X3, our first smart chip.
Its birth begins the third chapter of the XP-PEN stylus: the smart chip era.
Although the X3 is tiny, it is made with sophisticated technology that dramatically upgrades the performance and structure of the stylus.
Our mission is to create artistic digitizers that give you a feeling as real and natural as working with a traditional tool. We have maintained that goal throughout the design process for the X3 smart chip, resulting in an X3 stylus that feels almost exactly like using a traditional brush.
X3 smart chip technology, infinite possibilities!

More sensitive.

More natural technology.
A 10-fold* increase in IAF sensitivity.

The new X3 smart chip accurately processes electromagnetic signals by encoding them into digital data. This change increases 10-fold* the sensitivity of the initial activation force (IAF to under three grams*), so your artwork can be produced with a featherlight stroke.

More realistic.

The shortest retraction distance yet.
Feels real and natural.

The previous stylus design detected pressure through its inner spring mechanism. The tip moved up and down during the creation process, disrupting the brushstroke control. Now, the X3 smart chip with its powerful computing ability gives the stylus an improved sensor structure. This change reduces the retraction distance to 0.6 mm*, resulting in a steady brushstroke without wobble.

Improved stability.

The steady nib ensures a
stable performance.

Powered by the X3 smart chip, without the spring mechanism, the stylus performs better than any other existing XP-PEN stylus. With its 8192 pressure sensitivity levels and a 60-degree tilt function, you will have easy, intuitive control while creating artwork.

Improved durability.

Twice* as durable as the previous stylus.

Thanks to the overall design of the X3 smart chip, the new stylus greatly optimizes its inner structure and eliminates the consumable spring components of previous designs. The new design will approximately double* the life span of the stylus.

Reduces all signal interference,
resulting in clear, dependable lines.

The X3 smart chip is the first of its kind to be designed with a digital signal processing mechanism. The digital technology is a huge advance on previous analog designs, meaning it offers the clearest, most dependable signal ever.

I am just facing a bit of confusion. I purchased my current Artist 16 Pro a very long time ago, and while this pen says it is compatible with it, I'm not sure. Does the current Artist 16 Pro use the same drivers and I can still use this pen with it? I am asking as when I find the 16 Pro's store page, it looks different than the one I currently have but is listed as the same thing. Much appreciated.

Hello You likely purchased an older version of the Artist Pro 16, which is discontinued, and therefore the stylus is no longer in production. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Hello The option without a pen holder does not include a nib. If you do not need a pen holder, you can purchase a nib separately. https://www.xp-pen.com/store/buy/replacement-nibs.html
