It doesn't matter if you're using a Pen&Touch or a normal 'Pen' tablet when playing osu! right? (Wacom Bamboo)

The "Touch" feature is multitouch with your fingers. Since you'll be using the pen when playing osu!, it won't matter. (My Bamboo Capture is a Pen&Touch tablet, and TBH I've disabled the multitouch feature because I never use it).

Also I just started osu, if I do end up getting a tablet, it will more then likely be Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Touch Tablet
Thanks OP!

Wacom Bamboo Pen CTL-470, just that.

I play CTB quite often, but never played osu!standard, really. This month I played a little of it, but I hate playing it with the mice/mouse, and I love playing in my cousin's android tablet... So, thanks for the guide, looking forward about buying one.

Anyone use the buttons on their tablet??? Just wondering because my Bamboo Fun has 4 nice buttons on it, and I figured they might be better than wearing out my keyboard (plus I can control everything from my lap.)

My Bamboo Capture has buttons, but they're fairly stiff and have no travel distance. Assuming the Bamboo Fun has the same type of clicky buttons as mine, IMO it wouldn't be a viable choice. Your fingers would get more tired in comparison to just using a keyboard.

Oh, and if you have the money, go for a mechanical keyboard. It'll last longer than a normal keyboard, and it'll benefit your playing/typing. If that takes up too much space, you could try a Razer Orbweaver mechanical keypad (I'd recommend the Stealth Edition if you're looking into getting that, since it uses lighter keyswitches than the standard edition).

Could anyone possibly clarify the differences between Wacom Bamboo models? I see CTH-470, CTH-470s, CTL-470 being thrown around mainly, but on Amazon.co.uk there are plenty more than that, some being very much cheaper than others.

Is Wacom Bamboo Pen Graphics Tablet (the Connect?) a common tablet choice, or are the differently coloured ones with buttons (which seem to be the Pen & Touch series)?

From some more research, I've come to the conclusion that the CTL-470 is a pen-only tablet, while CTH-470 includes touch input also. What about the 's' and 'k' prefixes - what do they indicate?

Got a Bamboo Pen and Touch off ebay for $30, hardly used. I'm a happy camper. CTL-460. They're good for osu right?

Now if I can figure out how to play well with it without my wrist shaking.

I'd like to know this aswell. Also, I can only find the CTL-470K-NL in my country, and not the "Wacom Bamboo Splash Pen Tablet (CTL471)"

What is the difference with the CTL471 an the CTL470?, and then the 'K-NL' behind it, is just a country tag or something? The Wacom / Bamboo site is unclear aswell. I won't need the touch function on my tablet so I won't need CTH.

As far as I can tell, the difference between the CTL470 and CTL471, as well as the several different letter suffixes, is just the marketing and/or the included art software (such as the CTH-470s Bamboo Manga). The -NL is a country tag though.

Still not certain about the -K-DE/EN models there are on the .co.uk Amazon (a German model?), but luckily there aren't any other Bamboo Pen choices.
For reference, I am planning to buy the CTL-470(-K-EN), which is a Wacom Bamboo Pen tablet (no touch functionality).

The Wacom Bamboo (which is what most people use to play) has about the same area as an A6, although for drawing you might find it comfortable to use a bigger surface. Since you can adjust the area, I'd just say go for the A5 one (the A4 might be too big if you're only just getting into digital art), and just use the settings to make the active area smaller when you're playing osu!.

Full area on a Bamboo tablet is 5.8" x 3.6" (147mm x 92mm), but since you'll be buying a bigger tablet you'll have more flexibility with your area. You'll want to play around with it and find an area that is comfortable for you.

this guide helped me alot thanks

Just ordered a Capture tablet yesterday. Wouldn't a pen mouse be a decent substitute though, assuming it's accurate enough that the tablet's absolute tracking wouldn't be an advantage?

'sup. I'm planning to buy a tablet not only for osu!(although that's a big reason), but also for making sprites for my games(C++ and SFML FTW). And because of this, I don't think the small screen size of the Bamboo Pen will be big enough (although I've never used a graphics tablet, so I can't say). So, I found an alternative here.
I've read a couple of reviews of it and they all seemed pretty positive(the only drawback being the pen, which feels cheap and uses batteries, which most likely won't bug me too much). But how would it perform in Osu!? Some people told me non-Wacom teblets aren't great for Osu! and have too long delays. But, this Monoprice does just about everything better than the Bamboo Pen, for the same price.


If anyone has the Monoprice, I'd gladly want to hear how it performs in Osu!.

i have a bamboo

I'm using mouse and keyboard, I think it's a good way to play.
Can I use wacom tablets with keyboard ?

.

Types of Tablets

Wacom is the "brand name" of tablets - tablets are all they make, and they're widely accepted (by artists) as producing the best quality, most reliable tablets. I recommend buying from Wacom because of their reputation as producing high-quality products as a leader in the tablet world. They produce three main lines:

Cintiq - "Draw directly on the screen" tablets, these are used in very high-end professional applications, and cost a pretty penny.
Intuos - The Professional line of tablets, these have features above and beyond the Bamboo line, but lack a screen.
Bamboo - The general consumer line of tablets, these come cheap with all the features you need to get started as a hobbyist.

There are other lines, such as the Graphire or Volito tablets, but these names have been discontinued, replaced by the above lines.

For osu!, you are very unlikely to need a Cintiq or Intuos - these two lines cater to professional in graphic design and illustration, and cost much more than the tablets in the Bamboo line. They feature increased pressure sensitivity, more bundled graphics software, and advanced features such as barrel rotation or tilt sensitivity. These mean nothing in osu!, so only buy one of these if you're planning on using your tablet for serious graphic design work outside of osu!.

At the time of writing there are three versions of the Bamboo, all confusingly under the same "Bamboo" moniker (The Intuos lines are distinguished by number - Intuos5 is the latest at the time of writing). I would recommend either buying the second or third generation Bamboos - the first generation Bamboo tablets had the extra buttons on the top of the tablet rather than the side, which makes them awkward for use in osu!.

This is a helpful guide, thanks! I Recently bought a Wacom Bamboo Connect CTL470 I've been using it to play since I ed and I really love it.

Very helpful.

I wanna get one and osu! at the same time, but I am not familiar with Amazon at all. Is there any ways the item could be shipped to Quebec, Canada? From the page it seems they only ship to the U.S.

Since I just got my tablet I'm thinking whether or not to use it, but mouse/keyboard is a bit ok as well even though I saw a video (Just saying) that shows that tablets get more points and go more faster. Not sure if thats true but I guess I'll just remain a mouse/keyboard player c:

That's not true at all. The game gives absolutely no bonus for using a tablet, nor does it even have a way of detecting what pointing device you're using.

This might have been asked again gain, but I was wondering if these tablets can be shipped outside USA (I live in Greece).Btw thats my first post so... Hi forum!! (offtopic ftw).

Maybe they meant better accuracy equals better scores?

Hey! Thanks a lot for the post, I wanted to buy a tablet for osu! for a while but didn't have a clue where to start, this makes things a lot easier.

I do have a question though, as I'm fairly confused. You mentioned in your guide that "Pen", "Fun" and "Craft" are 2nd Gen tablets while "Connect", "Capture" and "Create" are 3rd Gen. And from what I understand from the posts here, 3rd Gen has better specifications than 2nd Gen. Now, I was doing some research through means other than this post, and Wacom's Wikipedia page doesn't mention anything about Generations. From what I understand, it says over there that "Create", "Capture", "Splash" and "Connect" are just the names the tablets are sold under in the Americas and "Fun", "Pen & Touch", "Pen" and "Manga" are the names they're sold under in the European region. (Link - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacom#Product_lines )

So I was wondering if only 2nd Gen models are released in Europe with 3rd Gen only being available in the Americas, or is Wikipedia's info about the models having nothing more than different names just wrong?

Pen = Connect
Touch = Capture
Pen & Touch = Create

they do sell both generation models at both regions, they just call it by different names. well, let's just say that Wikipedia doesn't have enough information about Wacom.

another tablet can use? .__.

Wow... I really want in but I have to make my mind first...

i got a Wacom Bamboo ctl-470 for like 40$. i think it works great and i would recommend it to anyone looking for a bit "cheaper" tablet ^^

New lineup of Intuos and Intuos Pro pen tablets!
http://www.wacom.com/gb/en/creative



Here's the cheesy ad:


and here's the product most of us will be getting. The one without touch features.

Yeah, I think the OP needs a bit of an update, seeing as the new Intuos is replacing the Bamboo lineup (while the Intuos Pro replaces the old Intuos lineup).

i use bamboo cth-470k but i feel like a slight delay on the cursor is it the tablet or my computer ?
and is the cth-470s creativ better than mine?

Exactly my opinion, good guide

I'm planning on buying a tablet soon. I'm wondering if I should get an Intuos4 CTL-480 or Capture CTH-470.
If anyone could help me decide, thank you.
Edit: Nevermind. I've already decided to get the Intuos4.

Question: Does osu all tablet? I'm thinking about getting a Wacom intuos-- the newer gen. I'm not sure if it will work or not.
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Smal ... ords=wacom

Hey Guys,
Im relativly new to the Game and can play most songs on Hard.
Im playing with a Mouse and would like to know if a Tablet would be worth it to get into the faster songs.

Im not sure if the Money would be worth it tough, since i dont know if and how much i would improve with it.

Here is the Tablet i was looking at... its pretty cheap... would it do the trick for OSU?

http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Smal ... ords=wacom

I'm sure it will.
I have a SilverCrest (very cheap) Tablet from a discounter and it worked (just fine).
However it had no "scaling" and i would have to go all over the big workspace all the time to reach the points, also it sometimes just stops working until i touch the tablet with the pen.
So i just bought a Intuos Pen Small now to get rid of the problems and have fun with high quality.
There was a comment on Amazon for it (in german) stating that it works great with osu.
A friend bought it also, so if you want i can tell you how it works in a few days.
But i'm sure it will work perfectly

Can I ask something? If I buy the one that is pen and touch (Wacom Bamboo ) is it will affect the cursor like for example : warping cursor problem when the fingers touch because i see some of my friends use them and sometimes they hit the tablet and the mouse is getting move to the way that they don't like.
But I am planning to buy for drawing and playing osu! so i can't decide what should I buy.
Can anyone pls answer me what should I buy.

Thanks

Awesome! Thanks.

Thanks.

The Capture comes with the Autodesk SketchBook Express, Adobe Photoshop Elements and Nik Color Filters softwares bundled with it. It also has 4 programmable buttons on the tablet itself that you can customize, and has a multi-touch function (you can use fingers - pinch to zoom, scroll, etc).

The Splash is about 20$ cheaper, comes with the Autodesk SketchBook Express and ArtRage 3 Studio bundled.

Both tablets are otherwise completely similar, the active area, pressure sensitivity and accuracy are all exactly the same as well.
So, basically the 20$ difference would be the 4 programmable buttons and the multi-touch function and the Photoshop Elements. There's also some minor aesthetic and color differences as well.
Now, to answer your question, if you're planning to use the tablet solely for osu!, the additional buttons and touch functions are just a hindrance and going for the Capture would be pointless. If you're actually seriously considering to use it for other purposes as well, the additional buttons help a little with laziness as you can assign functions to them in Photoshop or other programs instead of manually clicking and selecting tools, but are still otherwise pretty much entirely pointless. The touch function doesn't have a whole lot of uses as well. So, in my opinion I think the Splash is better all around since Capture doesn't really offer anything additional that's a whole lot worthwhile.

Monoprice 10x6.25in Tablet checking in.
The tablet and pen works fine for everything I need, but the alternate Monoprice pen (which is around $10) has a larger detection range (I can lift the pen farther away from the tablet and it will still track movement; >1cm as opposed to the default's ~0.7cm). However, the default pen's tip is easier to activate; I can rest it at a generous angle on the tablet and it will detect that minute pressure. The alternate pen is more rigid and needs to stand more vertically and needs more force to detect pressure.

The large surface of the tablet fatigues my arm more than a smaller one would while I play osu!, but I personally like the almost 1:1 ratio of pen to cursor movement.

The tablet costed me around $70 in total, $60+$5 shipping + tax. The alternate pen costs $10 dollars itself.

Is the new Intuos Pen fine for osu! ? Should I go for the Touch and Pen if I'm going to do a bit of Digital art (not a lot) ?

Yeah, it should be fine for osu!. For art, you should probably get the Intuos Pen and Touch since it has an eraser on its pen.
But at this point, the Intuos tablets are the ones you should consider the most (unless you can get your hands on an older Wacom tablet for a lower price, but usually those don't have pens with erasers).

I was reading through this thread, and I was wondering since its mainly the more expensive stuff, if other brands are worth considering. I was looking at http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008 ... d_i=468294
And its quite cheap, and seems to fit my screen decently. Just wanted to know someone with a little more knowledge on this subject's opinion

Everyone who is wondering if the Intuos Pen Small (the new bamboo) is good for Osu!: Yes it is.
I'm using it since a couple of weeks now and i'm really happy with it (just like a friend of mine).
The accuracy is outstanding and the settings are highly configurable to fit your needs (like the tablet area you want to use).
If you have a look in the thread "area of your bamboo tablet" you'll see some others using it too
So you don't have to fear that it could not be as good as a bamboo.

Thanks for this, I was taking a look at this and now I'm definitely going to get it after this!

Thinking about buying this one " http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005HG ... d_i=507846 ", are there any better variants available?

Maybe this has been already asked but... does anyone know if/when the osu!tablet (this) will be available on the store? (if yes, what will be the price?)

Does this one seem legit? I live in Norway so selection of touch pads isnt too big would appreciate it if someone replies ^^

http://www.wacom.com/en/us/creative/intuos-manga

PS: open for recommendation

Intuos Manga = Intuos Pen&Touch with included Manga Studio Debut + Anime Studio Debut software

If that's the only one you have access to, go for it. If not, look for a cheaper Wacom tablet.

Thanks

Thread definitely needs an update, especially with the announcement of the Osu! tablet. There are also some cheaper ones on Amazon (VPad) that I'm wondering if anybody has tried.

Since no one but the winners of the owc can have it (it's not on sale atm and probably it will never be), it shouldn't be considered as available Tablet.

Just because it isn't on sale atm that doesn't mean you shouldn't consider it. It is definitely a valid option, planning ahead is a thing.

The osu!tablet is being mass-produced, so there's absolutely no reason for peppy not to sell them... It's not like he can use thousands of tablets all by himself.

I really don't know how you came to the conclusion that only OWC players would get them...

Good clarification on why one would use a tablet. Now I know I definitely don't need one.



Still, good and thorough guide.

This sure helps me cause i am planning on wishing for a tablet for christmas. But what do i do when osu! tablet comes out.

I approve of this guide. ^^

Hey guys,
I really want to buy a tablet and I will be using it for osu! ONLY.

I can't decide between the following 2 tablets:
Wacom Intuos Pen
or
Wacom Bamboo Pad light
(the website gives terrible information about specs btw)

I have no idea which one would be better for playing osu! but...
The Bamboo Pad light tablet seems to have a 4:3 ratio or something.
The Intuos Pen tablet seems to have 16:9 ratio which is the same as my monitor, therefor I think this one would be better.

What do you guys think?

I have the Wacom Intuos Pen and I have to say it is very good. the nice thing is that you can adjust the settings to match your preferences, or in this case, tweak them until you get the optimal setup. I just got mine yesterday and I can say that the small works very well, just to change how the buttons act on the pen or you might open up the radial menu like I did while playing

I use the Inutos small pen and multi touch and it works very well with osu!

The osu! Tablet is based on the newer Huion 420 Portable Tablet (Yes, you read correctly).

http://www.amazon.com/Huion-Portable-St ... 00DTPYWBG/

Peppy tweeted that the only modifications done from the bare board are button removal/led change, so the specifications are the same.

I'd imagine that tablet and this one have the same specs:
http://www.amazon.com/DigiPro-Graphics- ... B00E8LB1UA


I'd assume these tablets wouldn't be too bad for osu, as peppy has had the base tested for the osu! tablet.

Wacom Bamboo (CTH-460) vs osu!tablet/Huion H420?

The price of the CTH-460 seems to be around double that of the H420, yet the H420 has better on-paper specs (4000 vs 2048 LPI, 200 vs 133 RPS). Only big differences (for osu!) seem to be the area (H420 is maybe half the full area of the CTH-460), and the pen (H420 uses a battery).

If you're planning to draw with the tablet as well as play osu! I would say the Wacom simply because the larger area benefits both activities. Although if you can't get past the price tag and can comfortably draw on the area (and play osu!), the H420 is a great tablet as well, just great value overall in my opinion.

Hello,
I play osu! since 1 year now and decided to buy a tablet. I searched the internet a bit and found this now
Wacom Intous Pen Tablet S
Anyone has experience with that? It's a small size and only pen. I think it would work good for osu!. If not, could anyone recommend a good tablet which works perfect for osu! and doesn't cost that much?

Thanks, BulletStrike

I'm using the Touch + Pen model right now and it's great for Osu.

You could try going to the Wacom site and updating your drivers for your tablet. Maybe it's because you hover too high.

Do you have your in-game mouse speed set to 1.0x?

Does anyone know how long Huion usually takes to ship? I got the H420 yesterday and I am very excited :3 BTW,I live on the East Coast

Where did you get it from? If it's Chinese shipping, it could take a week or two. I got it fulfilled by Amazon, so it was shipped from the US.

I ordered it straight from the Huion website. So thanks for the info :3 MINI EDIT:I hope Huion is fast so I don't regret ordering it straight from their website,didn't even check amazon

What is the general opinion on huion's H420 tablet, if anyone even has one?

The osutablet is based on it, and it's 30 dollars as well on amazon right now, and since I can get free 2 day shipping on it, there really is no reason for me to wait for availability on the osutablet.

The nearest wacom competitor in price has 70 dollars, which is more than twice the price. Is it worth it? Will I even notice the difference? I do not plan on doing any drawing.

Does anyone know when a new batch of tablets will be ready?

So I'm thinking about getting a tablet solely for osu (not a drawer) and I'm stuck between these two choices: Wacom Splash Pen Tablet (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008E0 ... HU0KPCGV8S) or Wacom Intuos Pen Small Tablet (http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos-Smal ... com+tablet). I also have a $25 Amazon GC that was redeemed via my parents' cc rewards program being delivered to my house. Which one should I get?

Intuos or Splash

I would imagine both of those do their job well enough for osu! and if you aren't huge into digital art, you probably don't need more than the Splash.

I wanted to get a bamboo, but then saw another drawing tablet for the same price but had a bigger drawing area, but I'm not sure what's the right setup in OSU! for the pointer speed, my mouse moves a bit slow in OSU! while it moves at a good speed in PS

The optimal pointer speed is probably x1.00 for tablets unless you want to scale it down to x0.5 depending on your preference
Which drawing tablet are you looking at? You don't need too large an area, most people usually don't use the entire area. Most player will tell you what they are using and the active area in their setting in their profiles.

The important thing is that the tablet is able to detect the pen and that you are comfortable with the grip and weight of the pen itself
I myself bought CTL-470 as I don't have much choice here since tablets are not widely available here (Not that I am complaining, rttyui is using this too)
You will eventually find out that most players probably uses the same tablets around, price may vary from 25 USD to 100 USD and above depending on who they are and what they use it for.

In osu, bigger area means more control and better precision which is good for stream but bad for jumps because you have to move more.

Edit: My bad, Niko's configuration was 2/3 of the tablet area. This is what most players set it to. mine is barely 1/9

Im planning on buying a tablet soon. Was wondering if I should get the one from osu! the https://astore.amazon.com/osugame-20/detail/B008E0RSYY , osu! official tablet or the Hiuon 420 although theyre the same with same prices,

Which is better in your opinion. Is it worth waiting for the next batch of osu! official tablet, or buy either Hiuon 420 Tablet or the Wacom CTL471 Bamboo Splash Pen Tablet.

Since it's only for osu I don't mind if its refurbished.

Also, whats the difference between the CTL 471 and the CTL 470?

I also bought tablet just to play osu, sometimes I use it to write something in my pdf files.

I can't tell from the size or the picture, they are identical to each other but it seems that CTL 471 comes with better software
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407436,00.asp

I can't judge which is better when it comes to osu, since tablet quality doesn't really affect much in osu. At most you will only be looking at how compatible it is with your computer and the active size.

CTL 471 has a mouse mode and gives you a bigger active size, 14.7mm x 9.2mm while H420 gives you 10.2cm x 5.8cm
but the downside to CTL 471 is actually that wasted space aside from the active area.
I have also heard that the pen for H420 is kind of heavy.

you can look at the s here for the osu! tablet or H420

Alright then whats the difference between CTH470 and CTL 470?

I can get a CTL 460 for dirt cheap possibly but does not include software and instructions I could them online right? or my Computer will install them automatically the drivers

They can be ed online, You probably want to install the drivers cause they help a lot.

I use a CTL 480, which is the intuos small tablet and it works really well. The pen feels like a pen should and it's just sensitive enough for Osu. The only downside is that I had to pay $70 USD for it, but I think it was well worth it considering that some tablets cost way more than that.

I'm planning on buying this tablet. Ignore the price and random description in Serbian, do you think it's an okay tablet for osu or have you seen someone use it before?
