I just got the wacom one s tablet today,it's sexy af ! No problems whatsoever till now,but it's a little bit hard to get used to since I've been playing with mouse for so long,I can't do 4-5 star maps like I used to but everything takes time ...
You can buy a Huion 420, which is the same model as the osu!tablet, in plain black.Joseph124 wrote: 646xs
Can someone recommend a good and not expensive tablet? Besides Osu! I want it for not professional drawing...
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.
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.
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?

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.

It doesn't matter which one you get, you will like it or hate it no mater which one it is, it's just that the first tablet you get, will shape you.. For example my first one was CTL480 so automatically I wanted a tablet that has light pen, so I chose XP-Pen G430, most of who started on osu! tablet (or Huion) don't like light pens. Same goes to tablet area, I used half of the CTL480 area so G430 whole area was pretty much the same.EndoftheEnd wrote: 2v4d4x
What tablet is recommended for someone whom will ONLY use the tablet for osu?
TLDR: my suggestion would be to get the one that looks good for you (I mean looks not specs) and you will shape accordingly.
P.S. When I changed to XP-Pen G430 I was putting my hand on the tablet, since G430 is way smaller I somehow started hover my wrist too.. so even if you change tablet along the way you will adapt to it too.
Can someone recommend me a tablet that will last, and doesn't scratch really easily? I've been using the Huion 420 for half a year and it's good for its price, but it's been having issues with USB recognition, and the surface is really scratched. I don't draw, and I just want to use it for osu, but I don't mind paying more for a better tablet.
It's hard to recommend something other than another Huion since you are now used to heavy pen. If you don't mind light pens, you can go with Wacom Intuos, they are great.Nerdles wrote: 3k2v6a

I got the Intuos Manga a while back because I needed it for unrelated purposes in the past. Up until now I have been using the mouse but I want to try using my tablet but the tablet feels way to big to me. How small should I make the tablet proportions and should I have the proportions in a square or rectangle shape?
Thanks
Thanks
Ok thanks, I think the only difference then is the textured surface which could change the feel of play either for better or worse I'm not sure yet.Space-Dandy wrote: k1eu
as far as I'm aware its the same except biggerBundikun wrote: 4d2l4v
Is the huion h610 pro the same tablet as the h420 but just bigger like is there any other benefit to either.
You don't need to be at 1 sensitivity, also try playing with toggling with raw input on and then off. I've heard some people get more latency with it and some more without. So just try both and find out what feels more responsive for you.Space-Dandy wrote: k1eu
Does anybody know If I need to be at 1x sensitivity and raw input off?? I just got the CTH-480 and I'm loving it but I'd love to know the optimal way to use it!! I want to be my best with it
Huion 420 is an all round good tablet for OSU, its cheap and reliable. My friend had one and I have the 610 pro which is just a bigger 420. No noticeable input lag on this tablet.Grommern wrote: f6le
What tablet do guys recommend?
Ive been using mouse so im pretty open about it, i've read alot about cth480 but i dont want to spend 150$ on a tablet.
and the 490 has input lag
Thanks in advance.

You shouldn't mess with osu sens if you're using a tablet since it will screw with your tablet area. So 1x is the way to go.
I use the CTH-480, I get 0,4ms input lag (non-existent basically) with or without raw input.
I can recommend that tablet. It's also quite cheap to get if you just look for it anywhere other than amazon.
I bought mine for 75 bucks on ebay and had zero issues with it. Right now there are also several offers () for 60~ euro for a CTH-480 including pen, nibs and cable.
Most people are even selling basically new tablets because they simply don't "feel it". So you're getting a pretty much new CTH-480 including all you need for "only" 60 bucks.
Edit: Just don't forget to install latest drivers and FixMyPen to get rid of the initial input lag caused by the stabilizing feature.
I was thinking of either getting a Bamboo Connect, or a Huion 420. Do you think either of these are a good option? I'm mostly worrying about latency and hover height. My Wacom 490 has a lot of latency, and I was looking for something better. I wanted to get a Wacom 480, but I couldn't find a safe place to buy it under $100. If you think any other tablets would be good, I'm also up for that.
I personally use the newer intuos tablet I forget the exact model, I used it for drawing originally but I've pretty much stuck to making it my Osu! Tablet because I got a Cintiq or whatever and my friend uses his Cintiq for Osu! As well as he is less serious about Osu! Compared to graphic design but it's a cheap tablet about 50$ on Amazon so I recommend it for sure I haven't had a single issue with my Intous other than the disc the drivers comes with is bunk and you'll have To say screw the drivers they give you on install and grab them off of the archive of drivers because the ones the give you are out of date for the newer Intuos and then you can't use your tablet at all haha
H420 All you need? Man, I can't go back to H420, not only the pen is too heavy and it has batteries which results in a higher center of mass which will make it more difficult for your hans to control it, it's also really easy to break it. The surface is also pretty bad if you're hovering as it will work like a sandpaper. There is almost little to no place to put your hand on it, as after 3-4h of playing it will start to hurt (the tablet itselelf is too small). I would highly recommend purchasing a tablet from ugee/wacom if you're trying to get to top1000/100/whatever your goal is - of course all of that is only my opinionkly1222 wrote: 592233
Huion 420 all the way, it's cheap and pretty much all you need. Even if you find out you suck at tablet, it doesn't matter because it's only 20-25 dollars.
Is this one a good tablet? i want the best out there price/quality so is this one good enough?

The 490 is generally not as desirable for playing osu! compared to older models as the hover range for that model is significantly lower compared to older models (480 and before).
If you know that you will drag with your pen on the tablet it is okay though.
The Draw model would be cheaper than the Art one if you don't plan on drawing with it. Aside from that I can recommend you to check the official Wacom site on a regular basis as they are offering refurbished presentation models for 50% of the original price there (if you want a 490 that is).

I can't reason buying a peripheral at that price to do better for one application. I have no interest in pursuing digital art. I'd buy a joystick so I can have better control in the multitude of games involving flying; makes sense. But I can't see any application of a tablet outside of Osu!. No offense to those more dedicated to the game.
Good guide. Very thorough.
Maybe once you stop being a noob or closed minded, you wouldn't make such idiotic comments. Also, when you say "no offense", that pretty much says that you know that your comment was going to be offensive.
hahaha imagine being offended on behalf of a company hahaha good one chap

Moved over to wiki wiki/Tablet_purchase //Marcin
SPOILERIntroduction
If you've been playing osu! and chatting with other players, you're bound to hear about so-called "tablets", and their effects on gameplay in osu!. Tablets are pads that operate with a stylus that connect to your computer. As you hover the pen around above the pad, the mouse cursor moves with the pen, and tapping the pen clicks the mouse. You can think of a tablet for osu! in the same way as you think of an arcade stick for fighting games - not necessary, but some players prefer it.
Their original purpose is to allow a greater degree of control in digital art applications, allowing the to draw or paint on the computer as if they were using a pencil or paintbrush. The biggest difference that a tablet has over a mouse is that it features absolute tracking. This means that every point on the tablet corresponds to a particular point on the screen. If you lift the pen outside of the sensitive range, then put it down on another part of the tablet, the cursor will "jump" to that location. This is opposed to mice, which rely on relative tracking.
The biggest selling point of tablets for osu! is this absolute tracking - every other parameter such as pressure levels, tilt sensitivity, barrel rotation, etc. will have no effect on your osu! gameplay. These features are for digital art, where the tablet can sense things such as pressure you're applying, and make a darker pencil mark, for example. The only specification which may affect your osu! gameplay is "lpi", or "lines per inch". This is essentially the "resolution" of the tablet surface, or how little you have to move for the tablet to detect it. If a tablet has 100 lpi, then you have to move at least 1/100th of an inch for it to movement. However, even the lowest lpi should be far higher than any monitor that you're likely to play on, so higher numbers have a mostly unnoticeable effect on gameplay.
In short: Tablets are an optional device to let you play the game in a different way. They were originally intended for digital art, but happen to work very well with osu!, and most specifications will make no difference in osu!.
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!.
[spoilerboxx]First generation Bamboo (Pen and Touch, Touch, and Fun - Bamboo Fun shown)
Second generation Bamboo (Pen and Touch, Pen, Touch, Fun, and Craft - Bamboo Pen and Touch shown)
Third generation Bamboo (Connect, Capture, Create - Connect shown)[/spoilerboxx]
You'll want to stay away from either of the Bamboo Touch tablets - they do not feature pen input, they're just multitouch trackpads for your computer. Frankly, Apple did it better.
The other Bamboo models come in two sizes - basically small and large. For the second generation, Bamboo Touch, Pen, and Pen and Touch were the "small" ones, whereas the Fun and Craft were the "large" ones. For the third generation, the Connect and Capture are the "small", whereas the Create is the "large". For osu!, you'll probably be looking at getting one of the "small" sized tablets because it's a common strategy to reduce play area so that you don't have to move your arm when you play. However, it's personal preference as to whether or not you want a larger tablet area, and it's especially worth considering the "large" size if you are also into digital art; drawing is much more comfortable on a larger tablet.
So, here are my recommend options -
Second Generation - Bamboo Pen for small size, Bamboo Fun for large size.
Third Generation - Bamboo Connect for small size , Bamboo Create for large size.
At the time of writing, the "Small" sized tablets hover around $70, and the "Large" size Bamboos hover at around $170.
Of course, these prices will change slightly day to day on Amazon - the Wacom site has the Bamboo Connect listed at $79 and the Bamboo Create at $199.
Here's some links to purchase the latest models from Amazon. If you buy using these links, you will be helping osu!
Wacom Bamboo Splash Pen Tablet ($66.99)
Wacom Bamboo Capture Pen and Touch Tablet ($89.99)
Lastly, Intuos3 tablets can be had for very cheap on second-hand sites like eBay or Craigslist, and are definitely worth checking out if you're also going to be doing digital art as well. For osu!, however, the differences between the Intuos and Bamboo lines are negligible - the only real difference is that the Intuos lines have a much wider range of sizes than is available for Bamboo. I personally use a 9x12" Intuos3 for my art, and it still works like new after more than 4 years now.
In Short: Wacom's the recommend brand. Cintiq and Intuos tablets are too expensive and give no real advantage over Bamboo for osu!. See the recommend options above for the recommend models. Also try your luck at a used Intuos3 if you're also into art.
In Conclusion:
I hope this guide has cleared up some questions you may have about those tablets you've heard about and want to buy. These are only suggestions, however - there are certainly other brands out there that are cheaper than Wacom's tablets, but having tried tablets like the Mousepen, I would definitely say that you get what you pay for in of quality. Also, if you notice any mistakes in anything I've said here, or have anything to add, please say so in the comments.
I'll try to update this guide as new models come out to reflect changes in recommendations.
Good luck!
I'm back after 6~ years of break to osu! and I'm thinking about getting new tablet, since my old bamboo ctl-470 is kinda dying. Is anyone using Wacom Intuos Pen S CTL-4100? It's probably the cheapest available in my shop one.
I've heard cth480 is the most used right now, so I wonder how ctl-4100 is doing in comparison?
There is also Ctl-472N, which is even cheaper.

(Also sorry for necroposting a pinned thread)
I do want to say that I've been through at least 3-4 tablets.
I also don't know if this was said or not but if you plan on using a fancy expensive drawing tablet with screen after using one that you just use like a mouse (?) EXPECT A BIG CHANGE.
You'll have to relearn how to play the game ENTIRELY.
and switching back is the hardest part.
I just wanted to say that if no one has done that yet already.

Yo - I'm currently a mouse and keyboard player. In the future, I might consider buying a tablet so I'd like to know the best tablet for osu for the following budgets:
Cheap
Good value for money (mid range budget)
High-end (money doesn't matter much)
If possible, please explain why you picked each tablet.
Thank you and have a blessed day.
God bless. o7

+really cheap,
+respected by the community
+many top players use it
+and its honestly all that you need
+no hardware smoothing
-you might need some additional pen nibs or a tablet cover as the tablet area uses pen nibs rly quickly compared to other tablets
-only 5 nibs come with the tablet
i agree as a ctl-472 player! but i actually just take remove the nib while i play so it doesnt wear it down and it does the same thing + a tablet cover to prevent scratchingKS Wicher wrote: 5k4v10
