Another tablet player here (and yeah, I've posted in like two other threads like this but they were all just "WHO PLAYS W/ TABLET LOLOL").
I tap with my tablets for the most part; my accuracy is only good with the tablet. For 1/16th notes, if there are only two, I tap them. If there are three or more (i.e. a stack) I use z/x. I also find spinners much less destructive on your wrist than a mouse because I can just make tiny circles around the pivot of the spinner rather than flailing my mouse around. I also never use z/x and tapping in conjunction (i.e. a stack of 5 will either be 5 tap or 5 z/x alternations; never anything else).
Tablet or mouse, I suck at jumps either way.

I do not know how you people can stand stand tapping, for me, it's tough to hold the stylus over the tablet so the computer still gets the input and then I have to tap, I tried tapping once and swore off my tablet. Then I heard about z and x and how you can disable mouse clicks so I started playing like that by just keeping my stylus on the tablet, it is much easier for me and I can keep the rhythm much better.
You get used to it after playing Ouendan and EBA enough.
That's me.rust45 wrote:

My driver's screwed up. It keeps switching between "working with Vista, but not osu!", and "working with osu!, but not Vista". And when I say working, I mean being able to disable taps via mouse button disable in options.
Oh trust me, I played plenty of EBA back in the day, I still play it now, the problem I have with tapping on a tablet is being able to keep your stylus close enough that your computer gets the input and you can see the cursor move on screen. And when I keep the stylus on the tablet my movements are much more tight.Xiaounlimited wrote:

I just tried disabling clicking, then dragging the stylus using z/x instead. I failed maps I'd normally S or SS. ಠ_ಠ Way too confusing for me.
Thing is, I can resize my tablet's active size both on the tablet and the screen. I use an area that's about 1.3"x1" with an active screen area that only covers my osu! window. I can plant my wrist down and never have to slide it around which means I never lift my stylus around 1cm off (which is the detection area). I also find it helps with jumps immensely since I don't have to fling my hang around, the dragging would be way too slow IMO and I can't play with the mouse to save my life.
To each his own, so they say.

Hm, I don't really have that problem, with my tablet sensing my pen.
My pen is tracked until about a centimeter off the surface, and it's set to pen mode. Since it's in pen mode anyway, I rely half and half on the cursor on the screen and learned movements with my hand in accordance to a certain position on the screen.
What model tablet do you have?

I have a Wacom Intuos 3. It's also rather big, 6.5X8 inches.

Hm. I personally own a 9x12" Wacom Intuos3, though I never noticed any issues with the distance.
But then, I had been using my Wacom since a few months prior to joining Osu! for CAD and CG work, so it may be that I'm just used to it.

Well as I said before, I also have trouble with controlling the stylus, it's not just making the computer getting the input.
So, any good brands/models for a good tablet for osu! ?
Something not too expensive, since it will probably only for osu
EDIT: My new Bamboo tablet works fine

Bamboo or Bamboo Fun? There's really no difference besides the buttons looking a little different and the Fun one comes with Photoshop Elements and Corel Painter.Larto wrote:

Small or Medium? The small is MORE than good enough imo. Plus the medium is usually double the price :X
Sounds like the normal Bamboo standard is best for me then ^_^ Good I ordered that one, it's cheaper and it looks cooler than the fun one anyway
I have a Bamboo One btw

How much did you buy the Bamboo One?
From the prices I saw, it looks like it costs as much as a regular bamboo, which I would prefer over the One.

50 Euro
When playing long maps without breaks or long spam of beats, my hand gets sweat and I lose grip of my tablet pen. This is terribly frustrating :<
/me needs moar breaks in maps
Also, I use the '2' key on the right as extra button for stacks/streams since my new tablet takes over alotta space xD
I previously had a Wacom Volito2 Small, now I use a Wacom Intuos3 A4 Large. Same as Daru.

Had the same problem with EBA en OTO(2), but only after a hour playing or so.

For me, it's more that the side of my hand gets a bit sweaty, and sticks to the tablet surface (not just in osu!, but when I'm using it for long periods of time).
I made myself something like this: http://www.smudgeguard.com/
Works pretty well, though it looks a bit silly.

Changed my tablet settings so I never have to lift my hand from the tablet to hit any circles/sliders. Works great so far...

How do you guys do streams on a tablet? I really can't do 1/4 streams.
For streams, either alternate tapping and hitting a button on the keyboard (default z/x) or just move with tablet pen and just alternate z/x.
Are there no other ways? I suck at the first method, and the second method doesn't work with my tablet + configuration.
Not really. Just practice the z/x methods and get better at them.

its true what they say, its pretty hard to get used to a tablet but once you get used to it, this one still is pretty hard to use. but its cheap.

Any tips on spinning?
If it wasn't for that, I would had some #1 scores...

how do you write circles? clockwise or anti-clockwise? also practice writing circles irl on a paper very fast. try spinning in the middle, very small circles
Counterclockwise. The problem is that I end up making to small spinners, which make my hand feeling stuck in place. I can't spin large and big.
Protip: don't let your tablet pen drop too hard, thing is fragile. Broke mine today...

I ordered a new tablet just now 
I just started 2 days ago, but I think i'm getting the hang of it. I own the First EBA so I'm familiar with the concept.
I'm actually into Illustration and Own one of these I've been using. I'm only on easy and I use the back eraser part of the pen gently, but I'm probably going to find an alternative for harder songs lest I accidentally damage my screen and have to kill myself.

Wow, you're lucky to have a tablet like that, I'd kill for that. But you should try some EBA and m980 maps with that, it would work really well.
