Considered a long time ago buying a tablet (just for osu! since i am not good in art anyways :D ) and this one might be worth shipping to Germany.
Well, we'll see how's it going in the future.
The Lolian
I'm looking for it's upcoming release as you said the first batch release will be later this year. Could you post a message for it's availability if you could.

Thanks in advance!
[juviagray]
i want it! >~<
TsundeRien
I already own a tablet (originally purchased for art) which I bought not long ago, so unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to get this. :?

I like the design and size of it. Just wondering, will this tablet be wireless?
Pizzicato
can you give us the hardware specs?

It is wired. Tentative specs:

Oct 08 13:57:30 <peppy> should be globally available
Oct 08 13:57:35 <peppy> aiming for $30 + shipping
Oct 08 13:57:52 <peppy> no promises, still figuring out the overheads to get it to happen
Oct 08 14:06:23 <peppy> it has a removable nib
Oct 08 14:06:30 <peppy> comes with a few replacements, and works fine without it installed
Oct 08 14:06:56 <peppy> pen is 1 AAA operated, but feels a nice weight to hold
Oct 08 14:07:01 <peppy> and battery is said to last several months
Oct 08 14:07:19 <peppy> not included (shipping batteries is dodgy in the current terrorist climate)

Oct 08 14:11:42 <Simmal> how much do you expect the shipping to germany to be peppy?
Oct 08 14:12:41 <peppy> Simmal: hopefully less than $15
Oct 08 14:12:55 <peppy> maybe $20 at most
Oct 08 14:13:05 <Simmal> alright, that sounds awesome, thanks!
Oct 08 14:13:09 <peppy> i want to get it out this year

Oct 08 14:13:36 <Arras> Will there be a limited amount and you're screwed if it's sold out?
Oct 08 14:13:52 <peppy> probably 1,000 to begin with
Oct 08 14:14:00 <peppy> but i will keep ordering more if it sells *that* well
Oct 08 14:14:06 <peppy> it will be online only
Pizzicato
wow that is cheap
would buy
OMGasm
You had me at those last pics <3

What are the drivers like, and will it be compatible with wacom pens?
Topic Starter
peppy
It will run fine without driver, but does include a driver CD. I tried them before and they seemed fine.

Wacom pens will not work due to different technology (I'm pretty sure, anyway).
Gislae
*waiting patiently* :3
ryza
Mm, I didn't realize it was a different technology. I guess that makes sense though, because it requires batteries.

I have to say, the design looks really nice and if you can get them out for $30+shipping that would be a great deal

I do think you should offer a larger size though, the active area seems wayyy too small for me and probably a lot of other players, which will probably hold me back on purchasing one

Is it possible to change the active area to make it smaller?
The driver is x86/x64 compatible, I guess?
JareDeZane
wouldn't mind buying just to try it.
XEPCOH
is the tablet fully compatible with windows 8/8.1?
MasterCraft_old_1
i want it, but i already have a 470k >.<
TouchFluffyTail
Jesus that pen looks sooooo much better to hold over long periods than my 470's. I might have to get it just for that. :)
shaneoyo
I would buy it as a piece of osu! merchandise, but not consider using it.

There could be a sizeable amount of people who think this way because the more invested community members tend to be older, and thus have a bit more disposable income.
Topic Starter
peppy
The drivers do allow area mapping. It supports 32 and 64bit and works fine on 8/8.1.
Blaziken
My friend who just started playing osu! wants a tablet after trying mine at my house. When will this be released?


Impatient tho.
Roxas
The design is absolutely amazing, maybe the only "bad" thing is that it's a bit small... But still amazing. I hope I will be able to buy it! :(
strikeR
yes!!
-Akari_old
I would definitely get one!
JAKACHAN
I've supported you for so long and I would definitely continue by buying one of these. The only problem I have is the active area is pretty small especially with the area I play at.
GenoClysm
That new design is sweet. might just buy if that stuff becomes available.
Will there be any color choices? :b

Price is already estimated in thread. Read back like one page please.
FrzR
my bad. Sorry.
Fabi
How big is the pen compared to the Wacom one?
Dangaard
You should add a CD with the game itself and some maps for a bundle ver. (if there are any maps suitable for this *cough*)
Rewben2
Initially thought that there was no way it would have different pressure levels at that price range so I wouldn't buy one (I draw), but I was pleasantly surprised to read that it does in fact have 2048 pressure levels. So it should be fine for drawing. Not only is it cheaper than majority of tablets, but it has an epic design. I'll definitely buy one when my old one dies or perhaps I might sell it off and replace it.
Flanster
would buy. final.
considering peppy, the design will be fab. tho hoping for a dark theme version since all my stuff is in black color.

Not a bad idea releasing the tablet with 2 different colours :D
Flanster
Example: dark gray with dark pink would be nice.
-Akari_old
i want to ask peppy about which manufacturer collaborate with ,

or is this question stupid to ask? :S
neurosis
i would buy it with that design, white/light gray hardware is so pretty
DJNightmare
I liek black color too, is there any plans for a different colour tablet?
This will definitely be my first tablet!~ I do wanna try out, and seems like it will be helpful on some cases as a photoshop user :3

The first run will be strictly white, but depending on demand this may change on future batches.

I think I might get this after my current one dies.

DJAlex
Also, it would be awesome with Black + Osu!'s logo in Blue/ Neon Blue.

Anyway, ready n' waiting for it.
Neliel
Do you know an approximate Month/Date for release? So I can hold some money for it back. If it's not too soon, I will buy another Wacom product or another product from Huion, because my Wacom tablet broke yesterday. I have to say that I didnt read the whole thread, so I am sorry if I over saw something. I am looking forward that tablet. I hope it's good.
Sableye
Will the drivers included with the tablet include the option to switch between tablet and mouse mode?

Also, will there be different versions for left and right handed people?
Rasis
Oh I just bought a CTL-480....
But if it released with a good price I will buy one though I'm noob and never drawing pictures.
Bass
Personally would buy one, then show it at some con so people could just test it and see.
Shimy
yes please
Queen Chan
I have a wacom, I don't need it. I'd only be interested if it came with like a month of supporter status
LuckyStrike_old_1
I'd probably buy it if there were no buttons on the pen. They are annoying me on my CTL470 pen so much.
deskoo
If they really perform well and are really that cheap, I would definitely buy one!
Theory_old_1
All of my Yes

I agree with this >.> There should be pens without buttons

It would be a pleasure for me to buy this tablet, when available would buy it!
Glazbom
No wacom, No game.
Topic Starter

The button in the pen can actually be removed quite easily. You could then fill it with blu-tak or something similar.

As an update, the design of the tablet has been finalised and it is in the production stage. Will post more as I know more.
kaminari69
i would like to buy one but i will wait awhile before i want some return before since i'm from belgium and export cost alot.
Seikunai
Probably.. If it's not too pricey, I barely play Standard anyway.
Sorun
Finally! I don't really play anymore, but ill still buy one for novelty.
Lyubey
I already have a tablet now... Darn!
MiDNiGhT2903
Already have one, or else I would definitely buy one if its available here.
Sorun
Well I mean even if you have one this is only a estimated $30 + shipping. It wouldn't be so bad too skip a few meals to save up haha.
IchiiHabakiri
If one can actually draw and play Osu on the same tablet, then yes. Definitely yes.

Because the pinku is a plus.

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).
there you go, tablet dimensions and rough cost


also that design <3

Definitely a good move, many players have been wanting to buy a tab but couldn't due to the price.
Jafem
Most likely it will be avalibe like any other osu product. Worldwide that is
Topic Starter

I'll do my best to ship anywhere. It may add costs, but shouldn't be any restrictions.

Pen may be customised in future revisions. Replacement pens can probably be provided but for the same cost as tablet (which will be quite cheap anyway). Replacement nibs are included. Pen can be used fine without nib inserted.

Uses 1 AAA battery, and apparently will last for months. I cannot confirm this as I havn't run out of the battery in mine yet.
