there you go, tablet dimensions and rough costpeppy 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).
Battery?peppy wrote:
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.
Regulair tablets like wacom tablets dont use batteries for the pen. They work via InductionLoliFlan wrote:
Batteries are for the pen, duh. Tablet is connected via USB.
One thing I noticed about pens with batteries is that you can use the pen nib farther away from the tablet.Peekii wrote:

Regulair Grapgics tablets dont have batteries right?
is there anything good about havning batteries instead of USB?
also what part is using battery, Pen or the tablet?

To manufacture in large quantities often by or as if by assembly-line techniques.
So it's being manufactured now, when they finish making them, they will sell them then

I really would like to have one of these tablets. Next step would be some sort of two key mechanical controller of some sort. That'd be amazing. Moar osu! products!
mechanical controller... why would that be good for. Osumainia?Arras wrote:

But yeah, can't wait to get one of these. I've wanted to try osu with a tablet for quite some time now and this'll be the perfect opportunity.

Awesome, kind of like a cooler version of this: http://www.huion-tablet.com/product/pro ... p?sku=1008
Same brand, similar specs, similar pricing, similar size
and I was just planning on buying a Huion tab :O
I looked them up and they seem to be a rather formidable company.Peekii wrote:
the real question is
is it a high quality company or is it just some random cheap company that makes stuff that breaks after like 5 weeks?
ah okay. I have hard people claiming that wacom is the best company and everything else is just shitty junk companys. Is this true or is it just what people say to be a fanboy of the brand wacomWilault wrote:

While I haven't personally haven't tried them reviews generally claim their products to be of good value and build quality, they also compare very well to some other brands.
Also some people do sometimes have driver issues there aren't many tabs that never get issues with drivers.
You should check out some videos on other tabs by Huion on Youtube, the company seems alright but you can't really know what to expect off the osu! tab until it actually comes out.
Wacom has definitely been the best for a long time. Recently some other companies have shown some merit but I'd say Wacom would be the most reliable albeit the price is very high for the specs, but it is still worth it for pros like artists and stuff.Peekii wrote:

Wacom holds the patent for battery-less pens (meaning that all of their competition, including this osu! tablet, requires their pens to be powered by a AAA battery). Their tablets also have a reputation for being well-built and durable (I know at least 2 people IRL who still have functioning Wacom Graphires).Peekii wrote:
but what makes Wacom so good. I mean what is it that wacom have that others dont?
N-Trig has battery less active digitizers?YayMii wrote:

This would be awesome.peppy wrote:
I hope to add native support for these tablets eventually, where osu! will skip the OS-layer and set regions etc. itself.
I hope not. I wanted to order these for Christmas presents.0nyx wrote:
"note that this is an early prototype and the design is not final!"
So I guess that means it isn't getting released soon and we'll have to wait a few more months?
