Well after 3 months with mouse and still not getting S on insane I am going to give in to buying a tablet xD

Right now I am looking at this one
Wacom bamboo pen:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002OO ... d_i=507846

Has anyone used this one before? Or should I go for something like this
Wacom Intuos4:
http://www.amazon.com/Wacom-Intuos4-Med ... 27&sr=1-12

Honestly I don't really want to spend 300+ to get some Perfects on harder modes, but I also don't want to waste money on a cheaper one to find it break after a week. Any help is appreciated.

The bamboo tablet works really well, but that version is the cheaper one and is much smaller, making it harder to maneuver, but faster than, say, the bamboo fun tablet. The bamboo fun tablet is bigger and thus easier to work with, but requires more practice in the means of jumps and the works.

The Intuos4 I believe is a screen tablet, or whatever you call an image of the monitor will display on the tablet.
At least that's what I "Think" the intuos4 does.

If I had to make a recommendation though, the bamboo fun (Not the regular bamboo) tablet, the medium or large size or whatever the options are, is my preferred choice.

So after a little thought I am going to go for the cheaper wacom bamboo tab. I don't want to spend 400$ on a tablet till I am done buying my parts for my street car.

Anyone that has it could they please share there thoughts on it. (the small version for around 60$)

That is the same one Cookiezi uses. (unless he changed it)

But let me tell you this, thinking that getting a Tablet will solve all your problems is totally wrong. Just sayin ;)

You don't need an Intuos4 for osu!.
Heck, you don't even need a bamboo.

osu! requires only binary input, so you can snag a $20, 8x6" Graphire4 off of Craigslist or Ebay and play osu! just as well as a Bamboo or Intuos4.

I personally use an Intuos3, but I use it far more for art and digital painting than for osu!, and it's rather overkill for the latter.

Also, to clear that up, no, the Intuos series tablets do not have screens. What you're thinking of is the Cintiq series, Deathrain.

As a ownder of Intuos4 I support this, its far too pricey, accurate and in some cases even too large for just osu! playing.

You're not going to S insane -_-'

Mouse or Tablet you have to train to S insane.

In my opinion it's little easier to get used to tablet, than used to mouse.
But it's not easier to play, that's for sure.

The learning curve is faster with tablet but that's probably I already had 5months of experience with mouse so my game reading was already "trained".
I'm using a bamboo pen & touch small with the smallest area possible.

I got a Bamboo Tablet Pen & Touch (it'd be the big one compared to the "Bamboo Small") and I use full-area in a 2560x1600 screeen (osu! windowed 1280x800). I tried to use the minimum area but having a very high resolution, plus using a small osu window made it impossible, like it wasn't really possible to do short movements, even when I spinned it was impossible to do small circles. xd

So 483 retrys is not enough training?

I started playing osu! with an Intuos3 tablet.

One day while moving, I dug up my ancient, scratched up Graphire, the discontinued model that served as the precursor to the Bamboo series. That's the one I use regularly now.

The Graphire pen is smaller, lighter, easier to grip, and thus easier to control for small delicate movements. Something about the points of the Intuos pens (where your fingers meet) feels really wrong and awkward, maybe because it's so fat and has the most slippery grip ever invented. I used to have to rub tissues on the thing to add friction, and even then once I started sweating it was game over. The two types of Intuos4 grips are just as bad. If you plan on dragging the pen, you should also know that the Intuos4 surface eats up those nibs like candy.

Extra features come at a cost. osu! doesn't have anything to do with any of these features. Something to think about.

Just a matter of preference, I don't like moving my arm/wrist, i want to be able to do screenwide jumps just by bending fingers.

Wow! So tiny! :O (I understand its a bit bigger than the small but still... :O)

I play full screen with a bamboo pen.


Question: Do you guys play with the tablet centered in front of the monitor or is it stationed left/right side of the monitor?

Right now I play it centered in the middle but I'm curious to know how majority plays :P

lol My tablet is straight in front of me but when I play, I tilt it maybe like 15 degrees counterclockwise for some reason. Woo.

483 retrys isn't training... But practicing lot of maps on difficulty where you are not with S/SS or having A with acc > 94% is what I call training. Training isn't just about "let's try this sh!t 1000 times then I can clear it" you have to get better on jumps/stream/etc... on your level before going to the next step...

btw i'm not trying to say you don't have to buy a tablet. I'm just saying, if the only reason is you think you gonna play really better imediatly : don't buy it but if you think it could be fun to play or something like that, well buy it.

Where can I get a Wacom Bamboo cheapest?

I'm gonna get one, but don't want a $80 one.


They show up as like, $50, but then there's a hidden S&H fee. >_>
