FAQ

  1. What about a black model?
    Not for now, I will look at more colour varieties in the future!
  2. Drivers? OS support?
    Works out of the box on any OS.
  3. Who is the manufacturer?
    HUION. They are a large and trustable chinese tablet manufacturer.
  4. The pen uses batteries?
    Yes, 1 AAA. It is supposed to last for ages (I haven't run mine out yet), and the weight feels quite nice in the hand.
  5. Is a battery included?
    Yes.
  6. Spare nibs?
    Yes, four of them.
  7. Latency?
    I have tested and can confirm the spec of ~5ms input latency (based on 200 reports/sec) is pretty accurate.
  8. Why so cheap?
    I'm not looking to make a profit. Most osu! players don't have a huge disposable income, and my goal here is to allow everyone who wants to try a tablet to do so.
  9. But I want a larger 6"x8" tablet! I can't play on such a small one!
    If there is enough demand, I can look at expanding the range. Personally I find this size more suitable for osu!, especially for people looking to start learning tablet play.
  10. How much is shipping?
    Asia: ~$11
    North & Central America, Oceania, Middle East, Caribbean: ~$15
    Europe: ~$18
    South America, Africa: ~$20
    See the checkout page at the store for more accurate shipping cost.
  11. Do you ship to xxx?
    See this page for detailed shipping information.
  12. How long will delivery take?
    Varies based on where it has to be shipped to. Anywhere from 2-14 days.

Tablet dimensions are always measure in imperial, unfortunately. That's just how things are.

Wow nice!

The active area is actually very similar to what I'm using right now (99.3mm x 55.9mm). Very tempting hmm...

Can't quite tell what sort of surface finish it has from the pic though. Is it a matt finish throughout, or is it a smooth drawing area surrounded by matt finish?

Wacom don't offer such customised builds.

It has a paper-like texture and is not completely smooth, but not rough as such.

That pen looks awesome, getting that tablet even if it's just to see how it performs against wacom tablets

A heavier pen will most probably mean way more control over your movements, which is nice.

I'm down with the black colorway. It makes the logo pop out on any desk setup that you have.
HD on demand type shit ^.
Simply because its black. But i'd still buy this first osu! tabet
Bet that.

Glad my friend showed me this game 3 months ago. Been on it ever since.

I'm considering getting this. But there is one thing I'm not sure about. Are there any performance issues? For example, can you play using this tablet as good as if you would use a Wacom tablet? Like if rrtyui played with this, would he play as good?

When I get this, should I set the tablet area proportions to match my osu! resolution proportions? (16:10 1680x1050 fullscreen)

By the stated specs only, the tablet would be better than a Wacom Bamboo tablet (though the osu!tablet has a smaller tablet area).

It would need some testing to make sure it is like that.

I'll be waiting patiently on a 6x9" release since I cannot physically adjust to a smaller tablet due to constant hand jitters which is utterly impossible to play anything bar no mod comfortably.

When they (the larger tablets) are released I will be instantly purchasing 2~3.

That's really cheap, even if it's $50 with shipping. Would get a dark version once it is released. Would be nice too if I can test first, but the specs are way better than my one

A heavy pen sounds nice too

Well, 30$ is roughly 95 PLN, and the newest Wacom Bamboo is 245 PLN. And both Wacom and Huion have unofficial Linux drivers...
Shipping costs are really going to be the dealbreaker here.

What's the approx shipping for Europe? If it's over 2,7 AUD then for example I'd have to pay for customs. (Presuming that 30$ is AUD.)

I could give out feedback as I were the tester in those videos.
I will give it as a bamboo/intuos (Wacom) user for a long time.

Pen
- Not too light and not too heavy
- Grip it quite comfortably (more than wacom tablet) as the body is not too thin and it was somewhat like a rubber that you won't slip a pen
when you are a bit sweaty from playing osu!
- Tapping feedback is as same as Bamboo and intuos I use (can't figure out any differences) but it doesn't have different pressure level?
- The pen nip can open or close like ordinary pen does. (when you press the button on the pen's head)
- A bit little delay when hovering compared with those wacom stuffs but it doesn't affect anything (probably the pc for testing wasn't that good for testing)

Tablet area
- I got used to it quickly though. The area was a bit smaller than the bamboo one.
- When dragging a pen on the tablet, it was more slippery than the bamboo but it's not too slippery to the point you can't control anything.

I personally think osu!tablet is worth for 30$. I used something like 30$ before using the bamboo and it was way too worse compared with this one.
So yea, looking forward to it \:D/

as long as i can ship the battery, i will. i will be sending them out of japan, and japan has strict-ish battery postage laws, so i'll see what i can do.

I'd be happy to buy one for christmas or later, but I'm kinda anxious about not being able to buy mine before it's out of stock.. :?

I was considering getting a tablet, then you just posted this, I was so happy you can't even figure it out. :D

I believe I will buy this. Seems reasonably priced and I can get used to dimensions, little bigger than ones I use on my tablet now.
Only thing I would change is the color to black. Looks like a very nice product none the less.

Not a fan of the small area or color scheme but the pen looks really good (better than the Wacom pens) and of course at $30 it's damn good value.

Eh they're not shipped from Perth?

Dayum, thought I could get it with domestic postage. Still worth it I suppose...

That's good to know because shipping won't be bad to the U.S. Considering the osu! tabs weight is a fraction of a Nendoroid.

i buy TOOYA-X before
and i see the quality of it is a lot better than CTL-470
but when i bought it to home and try to play osu with it
it is even slower than my mouse :cry:

It is so good to have one as a collection ,but I have several questions to ask :
1.How can I order and pay for it ?
2.Is this convenient to pay for it ? the same as pay for a supporter?
3.If this is made in China ,can you or manufacturer send to me straightly? :D

As per my youtube comment, I tested delay on a decent PC (that wasn't in USB power saving mode) and the latency is very nominal (5-15ms).

I'm a little curious to know if the surface would be (for any reason) textured like the tile patterns? I drag my pen so it's kinda relevant. I'm looking into a new tablet and hopefully the osu! tablet would be a good investment (and I realllllly like that pen shape). Hell, I would order like 50 of that pen if it was compatible with my wacom.

Does the pen come with spare nibs? Do you think dragging my pen against the surface would wear it down fast?
