Hi there,
I am a mouse player so far and I want to make the switch into a tablet.
I am between :

Wacom Intuos CTH 480 or Wacom Intuos CTL 480


Since I want to draw with it as well , I know the CTH 480 having an eraser and touch functionality would be better for that. But my question is: Will the touch functionality get in the way of osu? I mean, will it messed me up because it's picking up my hand or something other than the pen?.
My priority is osu, drawing comes after. So which one is better for osu ?

Please don't recommend another one since I am in a coutry where these are pretty much the only ones I can find other than the really expensive ones or cheap looking ones.

Thank you! ;)
i think you just need buy cth 480 if you need for osu and draw, but if you need just for osu ctll 480 is enough.
you can deactivated touch functionality if you use cth 480

i was using G1

ill buy Tablet of osu!!!!


WRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
I also want to buy one but I cant decide between Wacom CTL471 and Huion W58. Which one is better? I only want it for osu.

osu tablet/Huion (H)420 owners, is your hover distance lower than the d 0.6"? Mine is more like 0.2".

Keep on losing combo over jumps >:(

I never had any problems while I owned 1 but I never got used to a full area either so I didn't have to move much at all

would ths be a good tablet to buy? I'm looking for a cheap tablet for osu!, nothing fancy, just something that works. Although the pen looks quite thick, would that be a problem?

or should I just get the one that everyone else's using?

That's the one I'm using! It works pretty well-very responsive and well-sized active area for osu. The only thing that irks me is the low hover distance, but you get used to it. And it's cheap :P

Which one of the two you have? The Huion or the wacom bamboo?
I'm a mouse player so I know nothing about tablet. I want to buy a tablet for OSU! only. However, I don't know which to choose between Huion(H420 or other) and Wacom(CTL470,CTL480). Price is not an consideration for me. Can anyone tell me which should I pick?

I got the CTL 480 and I think it's probably the best one by a small margin. at least some guy said so in this thread~ t/210318
i got a CTL 470 and i just got the huion h420

i must say the huion feels more responsive and i can hover at a better distance.
(the driver of the huion tend not to conflict with windows contrary to the wacom one )


hope that helped (ps: think that huion is chiniese and you are not safe from a bad lot in my opinion)
Looking for a tablet that works for osu! and is a good drawing tablet as well. Any advice? I read the tablet guide but it seems to be a bit dated in this regard -- then again, maybe used Intuos3 is still the way to go.
I was looking to get a tablet on the low end of the price range. The ones linked in the guide do look good but I was just wondering, I went on the bamboo site and it is showing me a tablet just called "Bamboo pad" for $50 http://www.wacom.com/en/us/everyday/bamboo-pad-usb . Is this a different product and would it work ok? Also this is probably a stupid question but is it possible to use an actual tablet (like an ipad kindof tablet) with osu, plugged into the computer? I assume not but just thought I would throw that out there. And also what about the osu tablet thing http://store.ppy.sh/store/product/1

Have no idea about Bamboo, but I have Huion H420. A bit small, cheap and quite satisfying as far as I'm concerned. It's similar to Osu! Tablet (I'm not sure whether 420 or H420 is used as a base for Osu! tablet)
Still wonder what the tablet it is ive seen guy got one but still .....
:?
i have a genius mousepen 8x6, but i lost the pen so i cant use it

plan on getting a bamboo pen ctl-460 mostly for drawing, but i could try osu with it, and i found one for $38 :D
Then, the recommended choose for a tablet for playing osu! is the cheapest you can take? (of Wacom)
Thanks for the tips!
Hey, I'm looking to replace my good ol' Bamboo Capture CTH-470 with something with a smaller footprint on my desk, and I noticed that the Bamboo Pad CTH-300 actually has drivers now (as of August). Does anyone own this tablet, and do the drivers give you the same flexibility as its bigger brothers? Thanks in advance.
More post plz. They are good thx for the tablet purchase guide
I am still new to the game but I have plenty of mouse experience since I played all kinds of games with mouse my whole life. =]
Now I got a CTL480 a week ago. I felt really weird at first and I had trouble using it properly. But even though having had it for only 6 days now I am already better in of accuracy and speed. It gave me all the benefits I was hoping for.

-Hovering without any physical resistance creates a more reliable cursor movement
-Pen is lighter than my mouse so movement in general are comming out more instant
-Sweaty hands don't create an issue for me anymore since I don't have the interruption of a fluid motion on the mousepad anymore
-Pin point locating circles which was not always as easy with the mouse due to relative cursor movement
-Spinners are much easier and more fun with a pen.

I love it and won't ever go back.

Time to buy a tablet! :D
Is anyone using Wacom Bamboo Light? Is it worth the price?
What is the best tablet in term of reactivity ? I'm currently using the bamboo pen et the input lag is really huge...
Is it possible to play on a tablet with one hand? My right hand is screwed up and I've been playing with the mouse so far.

Great guide! I wouldn't recommend buying a tablet just for osu! since it doesn't make alotta difference when you practice enough, and it's expensive. I'd say don't give up on mousing too early and don't be fooled by statements as "all good players are tablet players".

Ofcourse if you're very dedicated to the game, wouldn't mind missing some money and would like to try tabletting, by all means do get one \o/
Thats not true cuz i went from mouse to tablet and boy what a difference it also helped jus geting better at the game in generald b4 i couldnt even play hard songs with mouse now i do and insane on tablet
Is it worth it? D;
Tablets are completely worth it.
I have an Intuos Pro Medium SE which I use with Photoshop.
Would it be overkill to use such a tablet for osu! ?

Let's hope using it wireless doesn't cause noticble input lag.
Is big drawing tablet good choice for osu!? and i have some very cheap "Trust" drawing tablet but "aiming" to sliders and circles is so hard. i will buy large drawing tablet because then i have some space to there Oh s*it situtations xD But i ask your own experiences because i am pretty new in this game ;).

If you're getting it only to play osu! then buying anything bigger than the smallest size is a waste of money imo.
Would you guys recommend the osu tablet, i want a tablet and the osu tablet it's cheaper than buying one in my country even with the taxes for the export.
The thing i want to know is, it's really a good tablet? also, can i use to draw, or just for osu?
(Sorry for bad english)

You can use it for anything you want.
It's good enough for osu!

BTW, anyone have any recommendations on pen nibs?
Mine is starting to run out.
(Plz don't say hover. I have other work to do. My local shops don't sell any pen nibs....)
Midnight in my opinion i think it depends what do u use the tablet for most of the time, for me i do drawing a lot so i prefer the nib with a rubber at the tip, gives u more feel to it :P . Or you can just take out the pen nib and play osu without it, it still works fine though.

P.S im a newbie here so dont judge me :3

Tfw there's no mouse purchase guide :(
Is it better or worse to have a larger active area? I have a bamboo large and an intuos sml, naturally I use the larger pad but it does mean you have to move more to get from one place to another.

This is subjective and depends on the player. My advice is to use the biggest area you can while still be able to reach all 4 corners of your area.
don't buy a tablet

Did anyone try this tablet in osu? It looks like it's simply a new generation of the belowed Wacom Intous tablets, so it should be good enough, right?

These are the New Line of tablets set to replace the ctl 480. So far there hasn't been a lot of exposure of them for osu.

Basically other people are waiting for others to buy it.
I regret not buying the clt-480 two months ago,now I can't find it anywhere and there are 2 of those in amazon for some ridiculous prizes,any recommendations about something similar ?

You can still purchase ctl 480 from best buy / best buy (online version).

I would do so asap because they are starting to disappear.

Do you live in the US/UK

Try going to your Local Best buy or order it from Best Buy's site:

Heh, I'm better at osu! with my tablet (Wacom Intuos Pen and Touch Small) then I am at drawing.
I am still a bit confused about tablet purchase. I am actually considering getting one, because playing with a mouse is actually quite physically painful for me.

I didn't want to start another thread, I see there is many already, but I'm not too good with that kind of stuff, so I was hoping someone would be kind enough to explain things to me smoothly.

I stumbled upon this guy's post : http://sweetmonia.com/Sweet-Drawing-Blo ... ing-guide/
Who suggested this tablet: http://www.amazon.com/mn/search/ref=as_ ... 7MWG2AUVGI

But when I look at the size of it, roughly 2.2 X 4 inches, that sounds incredibly small.

For the same price, I could get the osu! tablet which seems to be roughly double in size.

In that guide, I noticed that the Osu tablet is not in the options, is there a reason to it?

Considering that I am a pretty casual player, with no real hopes of being competitive, the Osu! tablet seems like a fine pick, but since it's not in that guide, I'm wondering if there is something I don't quite understand yet.

Sorry for all these "noobish" questions, I just have no idea where I'm going with that, and I don't really want to make a mistake on my purchase either.

Looking forward to hear from anyone who would be interested in clarifying things for me. I'll check this thread again, but if you want to take it in PM, I would also much appreciate that.

Thank you.

Have a look at the CTL-480 or the CTL-490. The CTL-490 when I got it was not very optimized and I refunded it and got the CTL-480. It is a tablet which many people go for and has a nice area of 152mm x 95mm.

Why does not much people mention about it? Is it heavily inferior to the CTL-480 you mention about?

no love for huion? i know the drivers suck and the build quality is nothing impressive, but the sheer price range is astounding. i picked up an 580 for $40 8x5in active area, with a pen, replacement nibs, driver cd and a manual. it works fine for art and excellent for osu!. the micro usb port is a bit wobbly though.
Does anyone know if the new ctl-490 is good for osu! ? I still want to buy the ctl-480 but I can't find it anywhere except amazon on high prizes from untrusted salesmen.
Edit: By the way guys,what do you think about this?
I am also interested in the CTL471 and CTL671, would they work for osu well?

And also, does the smaller workspace matter if I buy the smaller CTL471?
The Wacom One is just a region-specific rebranding of the Wacom Bamboo Pen (CTL-471), which was a pretty popular tablet for osu! back in its day, and should perform about the same as the Intuos.

Also, keep in mind that what Wacom calls "small" is the tablet that most people use for osu! (it's still bigger than the osu!tablet), so you shouldn't even bother with the medium size unless you're also planning on drawing.

You can buy a Huion 420, which is the same model as the osu!tablet, in plain black.

You can also buy an XP-Pen 430. It's a new product, but there is at least one osu! player who says it is good. This tablet has a lighter pen that does not need batteries.

You don't need a tablet. Play more.

pffff... who cares. I use wii controller to play osu.
I know this brand isn't often mentioned but i plan to buy the Xp-pen Star G430 or the Star 01.
Which one should i buy, both have 2048 pressure and 5080 lpi. Is the star 01 even compatible for osu?
I also am gonna graphic design and digital paint so i need it to be compatible with programs such as Sai and photoshop.

I don't know if it works on photoshop, but it probably does.

Does somebody know a good tablet for around 70€?
I wanted to buy the Wacom ctl 480 but i cant seem to find it anywhere where i dont have to pay like 30-40€ shipping (I live in )
Just buy the CTL490.
Planning to buy G430, because I can already understand that I won't be able to play through maps with 5+ stars on the mouse with my prefered sensitivity and trying a higher one is very painful. But on the other hand than osu loses a way to train in aiming with mouth. Also, I'm a bit afraid cause I'm left-handed.
Any suggestions, guys?
i accidently order the osu! tablet... is there any way i can un-order it?
Hello to everyone here, today I was searching about a cheap tablet that let me play (osu) and work editing images like photoshop.

There are 2 tablets in my mind right now:
-Genius i405x
Pros:
I can buy it on my city.
More active space.
Cons:
4:3 .
There is no repair for a broken pen. (I need to brought a entire new tablet)

-Osu!Tablet 2016
Pros:
Better pressure, and other numbers that I don't understand.
Doesn't use battery.
16:9 .
Cons:
Less active space.
It's out of my country which in Argentina is always bad.

So anyone can tell me pros and cons about it? I have the money to buy them, but I don't want to waste it.

Regards.
