FAQs
Can I customize all three buttons?
Yes, the three programmable buttons can be customized through the Xencelabs driver software to perform various shortcuts or functions.
Is the eraser function pressure-sensitive?
The eraser function typically mimics a standard eraser tool. While the pen itself is pressure-sensitive for drawing, the eraser's operation is generally not pressure-dependent in the same way.
How do I change the pen nib?
To change the nib, gently pull the old nib straight out using a nib removal tool or tweezers. Insert the new nib straight into the pen tip until it is secure.
Does this pen work without a Xencelabs tablet?
The Xencelabs 3 Button Pen is designed to work in conjunction with Xencelabs drawing tablets. It requires a compatible tablet to function and transmit input to your computer.
What applications are best suited for this pen?
This pen is ideal for digital art and design software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Clip Studio Paint, Corel Painter, and similar applications where custom shortcuts and precise input are beneficial.
How long does the pen's battery last (if applicable)?
The Xencelabs 3 Button Pen is typically powered via the connected Xencelabs tablet, so it does not have its own internal battery that requires charging.
Where can I download the latest drivers?
You can download the latest drivers and software for your Xencelabs 3 Button Pen from the official Xencelabs website support or downloads section.
Troubleshooting
Pen buttons are not responding or programmed functions do not work.
Ensure the Xencelabs driver software is installed and running. Check if the correct pen profile is selected within the software. Restart the software and your computer. Verify button assignments in the driver settings.
Pen pressure sensitivity is not working correctly.
Confirm that pressure sensitivity is enabled in the Xencelabs driver software and within your specific creative application's settings. Ensure you are using a compatible Xencelabs tablet. Test with a different nib.
Eraser function is not active.
Check the driver software settings to ensure the eraser function is assigned correctly to the pen's tail or designated button. Restart the creative application and the Xencelabs driver.
Pen is not detected by the computer.
If the pen is wireless, ensure it is charged and properly paired with its tablet. For wired connections, check the USB cable and port. Reinstall the Xencelabs drivers and restart your computer.
