Can I use a drawing tablet?

hi! i’m looking into buying a drawing tablet for ui design mainly.

would any tablet be compatible with figma or do i have to look for a tablet that is compatible?

i’ve heard that any tablet acts like a mouse, so would i have any problems?

I believe any tablet would be compatible since it works just like a mouse. I haven’t heard of people having issues with Figma and specific models of tablets yet.

does anyone have experience with this?
I think I will get a XP-Pen deco 01 v2 drawing pad. I also want to know whether it will work with figma.
thank you in advance.

I haven’t had any issues with my Wacom tablet on my Mac. Most of these types of drawing tablets are nothing more than an input device, so if they work on your OS, I would imagine they would work just fine in Figma, just like a mouse, touch pad, keyboard, etc.

I used to use one daily in photoshop and sketch, i found it quite hard in Figma and went back to mouse.

I am looking for the same advice - can I ask what made it difficult? Did it lag/ glitch? Thanks in advance.
