I want to get a new tablet for playing OSU and drawing but I don't have any experience in tablets and never tried one.

The limit I can pay is 100$ and please don't @ old tablets that doesn't exist anymore!
And if you have Wacom CTL4100 can you tell me if it's good ? cuz I think it's the best for the moment

--
if you are a tablet player, tell me what's the tablet you using and what do you think about it.. Send me links of a good tablets that got no delay, input lag or any problem..
Thanks <3

i think pretty much any tablet is okay, you don't have to be spending $600 for a mega pro graphics tablet used by artists just to play osu.
it's really about the drivers (but even that matters not, for you have specific drivers for your osu comfort (like hawku)) & size maybe? something smaller is obviously better in this case, thus CTL4100 is perfect.
but like i said, any would do. it's all about getting used to at the end of the day.
this should be moved to Gameplay & Rankings btw

I think the osu! subreddit has a tablet wiki, though I don't think it has newer tablets https://www.reddit.com/r/osugame/wiki/tablets.

For the Wacom CTL4100, I've had mine for over 2 years and I've been playing with it for 700+ hours and it has had no problems at all, however the hovering on the tablet is pretty bad, so if you plan on hovering I wouldn't recommend this tablet. The default drivers aren't the best if you have a shake or something, but community drivers can fix that.
The pen is pretty good and solid, I have no complaints. The tablet has a textured surface at first, but the longer you play the smoother it gets, my area I play is completely smooth now. Finally the tablet really doesn't move when playing, so the feet are pretty good. All in all it's a good tablet, but I do see people on the subreddit complain about the default drivers having a lot of latency (I guess I've gotten use to it) but community drivers can fix it. HOWEVER the CTL4100 is very overpriced, you can get a veikk s640 or the Gaomon S620. The XP pen G640 recently changed models so community drivers won't work with the new ones.

TLDR: The CTL4100 is a pretty good tablet once you get use to it and you plan on dragging, and most of the problems such as latency/having a shake can be fixed with community drivers. It's overpriced and you can get tablets just as good for cheaper.

I mean it's not that difficult honestly, like Shiyzo said practically any tablet will do as long as you get use to it, and every tablet has it's positives and negatives, in my opinion if you can only get a CTL4100 go for it, as most of it problems can be solved by community drivers (though it's playable with standard Wacom drivers, I use the standard drivers), and it's very durable (overpriced but it lasts a LONG time).
And no problem :D
