do nibs really wear out that fast?

I've had an intuos3 for shit, I don't know how many years. 6 or 7? And still on my first nib. It doesn't see much daily use, but certainly over the duration of ownership

What sort of life expectancy do tablet nibs have?

(Guestimations made up on the spot)
Regularly playing osu! daily I get about a month being I tap & slide not hover.
Daily graphic work and no osu! 3-4 months
I also replace the nibs early just before the pen end starts to drag with the nib on sharp angles as to not screw up future long curve strokes.

Tablet surface gets the worst of it, after all these years what use to be a matte finish is now a high-gloss surface being polished by plastic love... Only downside to this is loss of friction when drawing but I been doing it so long it just doesn't matter anymore.

Take it with a grain of salt since people do have heavy hands which I may be one of them but I couldn't really tell you.

They wear out way faster with osu! than drawing.

Back when I kept the tip of the pen on the tablet's surface, I used a nib per month.

If the pen's design will be more comfortable than the Wacom's, I'm totally gonna buy it. Wacom pens have this annoying button that forces you to develop a special way of holding it to avoid pressing it all the time.

Or you can just turn that button off in the settings.

But in relation to the tablet. I would buy one just to have it.

I wouldn't buy such a product because I do not need a graphics tablet for anything.

Nah.

Since I just enjoy this game mapping, I don't see something useful for that tablet.

personally it would be hit or miss really on one hand it would be nice to get some more osu swag out on the market but as far as using it would go I doubt I would have uses for it, I already own a tablet pc and two bamboo's and they hardly see use so if I were to buy it it would only be for the logo and nothing more.

Pen design depends on the tablet gen and line... I love my grip pen which can be customized with or without a button bar and thick as a paintbrush.

I've never had a problem with pen size then again i adapt pretty quickly I would be neat to see a concept of what the tablet would look like tho. That might be the biggest selling point.

If I'm gonna buy a tablet, I'll buy this one. I'm only gonna use it mainly for osu! anyways. :>

or maybe not since i'm more into osu!mania right now. XD

so basically i'm not sure.

Obviously the design hasn't been customised yet, as that would take place further down the line, but here is a photo of the tablet. Note that the business card is only there for a size comparison, as I had nothing else on my desk which would be universally recognised.



To answer some questions: The pen is comfortably thick to hold. You can hover it further away from the tablet than any wacom I have used previously. It does not have pressure sensitive input. I'd like to look into getting a smaller size, but that may end up costing much more due to being non-standard, so assume the 8x5 or 8x6" for now.

As for customisation, I don't want to make it too obnoxious (aka pink), so it would likely remain black, but have osu! artwork printed on the tablet surface or border. I'd also hope to change the orange status light on it to pink or blue :P.

The tablet looks comfortable to use.. I like very much how simple it is. Also, the osu! logo would look awesome on it.
I would like to buy one of these but I got a Bamboo tablet recently. It's really a shame because this one is a lot more cheaper than the one I bought. :?

Voted "No" because tablet's are kinda pricey anyway. Plus, I don't wanna use tablet only for osu! anyway. ;_;

I would say "Yes" if it's osu! mouse and/or mousepad. Or maybe keyboard with osu! logo on Windows key cap. xD

I already have a tablet, but I may but an osu! tablet to have a portable one or something to use with my laptop. Considering I don't use my tablet for anything but osu!, I would have loved this deal back when I was still making my purchase.

If it's good enough, you may even get people outside of the osu! community buying it as a budget tablet. Wouldn't it be funny to see Wacom make a new model to compete with the osu! tablet's price range?

I thought, it was Touchscreen Tablet like iPad (osu!stream) or Tab (osu!droid), so it looks like "touchscreen monitor extension for Windows 7 *especially osu!*".

oh, I'm wrong. It looks much more like drawing pad instead of touchscreen tablet.

looks I won't buy that. playing osu! with pen like that is really hard... better "touch with fingers" XD

IMO... 8-)

hm, problem is, with the shipping costs, it's probably as expensive as a wacom tablet. so it isn't a real alternative, and the only thing that makes it special is that it is an osu!-tablet.

if the price was much lower as a wacom tablet, it would be an real alternative (and without shipping, it already is that kind of alternatve).

Why not. I think I'll come up with some other purposes too, just so I don't feel like I invested in something solely for this game >_>
