And since prices are pretty much the same, and Wacom's quality is just better + no battery pen...

You'd be amazed of how shit is being sold every day all over the world, even when you can get better stuff at the same price if not cheaper.
Not saying his product will be bad, just saying for obvious reasons he won't be able to reach Wacom's quality, and getting a lower quality (overall) product for the sake of saving 5 bucks (assuming you get a brand new product) is kind of dumb. And if you do A LITTLE research, you'll find out buying osu! tablets will make you save the huge amount of money of: $5, which isn't really a smart idea since you can use that little extra money to get a safe, top quality product. Not that you don't do that already whenever you buy... pretty much anything.
1 - Underage kids have parentsWishy22 wrote:
I think of this as a terrible idea, because:
1- Most people usually say "YEAH I'D BUY THAT XD" but actually they won't for several reasons. They even don't care that much, or are underage and have no way to pay for it, etc.
2- You can get an excellent Wacom product for pretty much the same money or maybe a little more. There is no real reason to buy some new brand, not as good product just to save a few bucks. Remember Wacom's CTH 460 (tablet everyone used before CTL series came out) is only $55 on Amazon, while pen only model must be a little cheaper (guessing around 45 bucks from the price difference I saw years ago when I bought my tablet). So, would you buy a random brand (no offense) tablet instead of a top brand one just for saving like 10 bucks? General answer will be: no.
4- People buying a tablet just for osu! obviously don't care that much about money (yo you're buying a tablet for a goddamn rhythm game), and since they will ask for advice here and everyone will tell them Wacom is the best and that pros use Wacom tablets, then they'll probably go for the same. If you buy a tablet just for osu! it usually means you're somewhat serious about it, so you won't risk getting a possibly bad/worse tablet.
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:

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.
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:
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

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

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.

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:
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.

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
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:

YES! I would actually buy one of those! This is a great idea!peppy wrote:
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.

Yes, it would be able to be used for drawing.D o r o r o wrote:
But can it be used for drawing? And what are those nibs are they talking about? Does the tip of the pen gradually wears out? I'm new to graphics tablets, I'm sorry

Thank you! But does the nib shortens like a mechanical pencil lead?SilentCipher wrote:

No - but if you use it roughly or put too much pressure on the nib, it will eventually wear down, as a rock does in a river.D o r o r o wrote:

Of course it could be used for drawing too.Xafilah wrote:
If it were just for the purpose of playing OSU, I would consider it, but if it could do other things such as draw then I would very likely buy one.
