When I got my first tablet for osu, I was living in Korea, and I was able to get a used tablet for around $40 with shipping, but not lower. Considering this is a new, customized(!) tablet with at most $50 after shipping, I think with the right promotion players looking for a tablet in Korea will show great interest too.

Would you buy an osu! branded graphics tablet?
Total votes: 240
Polling ended
I'm actually getting pretty excited thinking about a osu! tablet, I'm seeing a multiple variations in my head, my favorite being a blue base color and the pink logo either in the center or on the corner of the tablet. I wish I wasn't so late so I could vote Yes. Just keep in mind that i'm willing to order it now, heck I would preorder it in a heartbeat, just wait till this friday haha I just bought a surface rt and running low on money.
I really hope this happens!

It's $15 if we talk CTH-460 brand-new. That tablet is more expensive than the other model which is just like that, but pen only. You can even get some used tablet and it will probably work just fine for many years, since people selling them usually do so since they get a new model, and not because it's broken. :pGolfdinger wrote:

1- Many parents just go "gtfo" when you ask them for something pretty much useless/aimed for a game. I know many players that never got a tablet for this game because of that.Sorun wrote:
1 - Underage kids have parents
2 - Obviously the osu! design novelty plays a role in the purchase of one, but peppy mentioned that this tablet has more hover distance then any the Wacom tabs he has tried which in my opinion is a convincing enough feature to make the purchase.
4 - I see kids buying $100+ gaming peripherals from modded controllers (just for looks... leds, lights) to mech keyboards, I see no difference here.
2- It's gonna be a standard tablet. Plus being able to hover 3 km over it isn't really that useful at all, + the fact that you got to charge your pen. You're not gonna save any considerable amount of money either (and I'm not sure you gonna save money at all).
4- Those are a minority. Most people don't spend tons of money like that. And yet even some of those don't really like spending much money in something they will only use specifically for 1 game.
Again, I'm not saying this is a SUPER TERRIBLE IDEA, possible profit is low and risk is high.
It's useless to compare Wacom with osu!tablet. We even didn't know what manufacture make osu!tablet.
I'm 14 and I'm saving money to buy tablet. You're big enough, don't ask everything to your parents like you're a king / queen.
Just say yes or no. If you still want to compare it, go make a new thread.

well wishy why do you just have to see the bad things in everything. some people may want to have a tablet with osu! on it and not everyone is playing like they are super pro. also it is not extremely pricey and you can not get this anywhere else.. but i agree with the pen battery that sounds a bit awkward
sadly i dont need it for play in taiko 
Cause peppy is asking this because he's gonna make some considerable INVESTMENT. Retarded optimism is no good for this kind of stuff, you gotta be at least a little objective. Point being only real pro about this is you may save a few bucks and get an osu! logo, real situation is you're paying a little less (if not the same or even more, didn't research that much) for a lower quality product. Since people usually ask others what to buy, and most will tell them Wacom (since pretty much EVERYONE uses a Wacom nowadays) this could be an epic failure, which means lose money. Some of the other reason I stated are just a reality, everyone will always say "yay I'll but it", truth is MOST WON'T because of any reason you can think of.Hanyuu wrote:

If I was peppy I wouldn't take the risk.
I would be interested... if I didn't already have a tablet :/ But then again, I'm not 100% pleased with my current tablet anyway (VisTablet PenPad).
If this tablet is non-flexible (like most tablets), is able to use a standard tablet pen, and doesn't rely on special OS drivers to function, I think it would be pretty awesome, and would most likely be something I'd purchase, in the future.
With my current tablet; first off, it's flexible. This is bad when placing it on anything that isn't flat (like a bed or couch). Second, the tablet gets interference when placed on a metal surface. My desk is metal. If I place my tablet directly on the table, it either won't register the pen's location, or it'll do so very poorly (making it pretty useless). Third, the tablet doesn't seem to use a standard pen interface (it doesn't use a wacom digitizer thing, but I also wasn't able to use a cheap $15 pen on it).

already got a wacom. so no.
even if i dont have a tablet, i think i would go for wacom instead of this one

All I care about is how light the pen is, and how accurately the tablet measures pressure.
So probably not.
Edit: AAA Battery? Never

I don't even have money for new keyboard, but if i could get some, i'd buy Osu Tablet.

As for the battery I have rechargeable ones with a usb battery charger so it's kinda moot for me.
I'd like to buy one of these but let me suggest the following stuffs:
- - Pen and tablet-surface should not scratch when in contact, so you can lie down without losing smoothness in motion
- Along with that, the driver would have to allow disabling the click on pentip / letting us as the users adjust what a tap does
Not sure this topic is even still relevant but oh well.
For one I am fairly certain that a large majority of the people saying/voting yes have only the intentions of having one. I would be incredibly surprised were even half of them to actually buy one.
Second there are several flaws to this including size, batteries, and pressure sensitivity that while not really fatal will be a big deal to most people.
Third you stated that the intention was to make it cheaply available to everyone. With this comes at the cost of certain elements in a tablet people want for more than just the purpose of osu!. If you can pay a few more dollars and get one with many more capabilities then you probably will.
Fourth, from what you said the initial investment is large indeed. If the amount of units you'll have to acquire are equally large then you'll have many headaches dealing with holding onto your stock, and let's not even get into the tech support/malfunctioning products part. Without the possibility of profit to aid osu! in some way this will just drag it down rather than help. On top of that, these are not an easy sell really, I don't think the rate of sales on them would be fast.
Fifth there is a lot you have not stated that we need to know to really help in a decision such as how many units and how much of an initial investment it is.
Way I see it from everything is that it's not necessarily the best investment for this situation. Were the company to for instance offer a tricked out for osu! styled tablet that you would simply point users to and for each one purchased you received a sort of finders fee (less than you could get from buying them in bulk and holding the burden but without any burden whatsoever) for selling their tablets for them then I would greatly encourage it as long as the quality held up.
One unlikely possibility to negate the risk would be to have the users actually commit to buying one before you order them. This is highly unlikely to work but it is plausible. Have everyone who really wants one to essentially order a ticket (like a pre-order but paid in full, not just $5 down) from you for the tablet. If you meet the mark for how many you need to get sold to order them by a certain date then go with it, if not return the money and walk away without any loss. But again I can't see people actually willing to commit like this.
Other than that the only suggestion I would have because I personally really like the idea of the osu! tablet as an item would be to follow in the footsteps of game consoles like xbox, wii, ps3. If there is a way you can get for a slightly higher price a much lower stock then you can for instance get let's say 10 25 50 100 depending on the intentions. Deck those tablets out and make em gorgeous, none of that "Oh it has pippi in the corner, that makes it an osu! tablet" bs, deck that thing out. Then make them limited stock/edition (and/or one time only) with a certain way to get them. Could be as simple as simple as purchasing them in the osu! store or perhaps as giveaways to 10 random people that buy supporter during the month or whatever. The point being there are many largely devoted and obsessed users on osu! that would kill for say 1 of 10 ever made osu! tablets and would go to great lengths to get one, as well there are a lot of casual people who would throw a couple bucks for supporter for a chance to get one, but very few who would pay a large sum for something average/sub-par that everyone has.
tl;dr because I already know you won't read all of what I said or probably even half - High risk + low profit = bad investment. You can do better, get a better situation or better price. You hold ALL of the cards in this particular one and lose nothing from walking away. Take advantage of that.

Didn't know about the poll 'till now. However, I would buy one EVEN if only to have one. Plus you can't really go wrong for $35 ^^

In my opinion that's a great idea, any thoughts on this ppy? Maybe some updates :3 ?

Seeing as I already have a tablet, I probably wouldn't buy one. Unless there were advantages of one over the other. Only then would i reconsider.
That'd be D O P E
Pretty much this. I've already invested in a Bamboo tablet and it seems like this tablet is pretty much the same if not worse than a Wacom.Kaoru wrote:

Just noticed this poll now, lol. Anyhow, i have a few friends i would buy a tablet for, and if this is cheap i would definitely buy it for them as a present. The only thing thats stopping them (or me) from buying a wacom is the price or urgency in having a tablet.
Yes i have a tablet already (which i only use for osu!) and im sure people will be interested in buying a osu!tablet if its their first tablet considering how relatively more cheaper it is than a wacom. I am concerned about the battery pen tho.

no osu branded mouse? D;
@topic: I haven't checked the shipping rates, but I think it may still be cheaper than Wacoms(40$ = 130PLN, brand new Wacom Bamboo is 220PLN)
I' don't plan on buying it myself, but I know someone who does.
Of course I'll buy one. *-*
This would actually make me want to try out a tablet for osu!, even if I don't end up using it lots (because I end up liking the mouse better?), it'll be nice to have as a collectable even. (not a big fan of buying shirts hehe)
So yes, I would love to order one if you make them available!
Another suggestion that might help you sell them is to give a supporter tag for a month or two with the purchase maybe? You never know, it might sell more that way.. People like bonuses from stuff they buy

I like this idea.

This. I would have if this was available when I bought a tablet to replace mouse for Osu! but now it's too late for me.Kaoru wrote:

And now I'm used to all the advantages the wacom bamboo has to offer like sensitivity in photoshop. I don't think I could get used to something different.
I still think it's totally cool and would sell well.
This would be awesome but then again, I play CTB O.O
from my perspective, majority of people wont fond of that for the cause of the pen with battery 
though a specific log of Osu! seem to be splendid :3

I have been in contact with a tablet manufacturer, and it would seem it may be possible to make osu!-branded tablet. It would be an 8x5" tablet with a custom osu! design, and I'd be aiming to sell it for the cheapest feasibly possible (currently looking to be about $35-40 + shipping). I have already tested one and the performance is on-par with cheaper wacom tablets I have used, with the only major difference being a battery operated pen. After a week of use I haven't seen this as a problem, both considering weight (single AAA battery) and battery life (4,000 hours continuous use). Spare nibs would also be included for the hardcore players.
The biggest issue is that in order to get them at such a cheap price, I will need to order in bulk. I am tentative to take up such an investment unless I know there are enough people that would be interested in buying one of these devices, so please use this thread to let me know. If possible, share it with others that you think would be interested, too!
Keep in mind this would likely be the cheapest tablet you can buy in many regions of the world, even after shipping. That is my aim, anyway.
hmm i'm too late to vote an yes
I'm interested in this plan since my wacom tablet is pratically broken after years of use. and it's the high price that hinders me from buying a new one.
will keep an eye on how is this going

Hmm... To be completely, 100% honest, I'd need an opinion from a pro player who tried it out before I would consider going through the hassle of buying one (I would likely have to use a prepaid Visa card, which requires going through the "joys" of downtown to get ATM).
Yeah, cause it's more fun to play with one extra osu! tablet and i want to support that game. (:
