Yesterday I got a tablet (xp pen 640) and I can already fc 4 stars in a few hours of playing with it, but does anyone have tips for it?

Play more. There’s no secret to it. If you want to get better at a tablet, play more with a tablet.

Not entirely true. If you don't have it set up correctly it can really mess with you.
Things like making sure your tablet area matches your monitor's aspect ratio and the sensitivity in game is set to 1x so you don't have cursor acceleration or weird inconsistency problems. Even just making sure you have proper drivers.

Do you reccomend hawku drivers? I couldn’t get them to work so I’m sticking with the default xp pen ones and they seem to be fine

I've heard some not so glorious things about the xp pen drivers. I've also heard of something called OpenTabletDriver which might work better?

I'm using the XP pen drivers. Not the osu version but the standard windows driver. The osu didn't let me change my area for some reason. I couldn't get hawku to work.
The only issue I find with the XP-pen driver is it doesn't let you put in exact aspect ratios. It's just freehand. But I use this tool to help me find a perfect 16:9 aspect ratio . https://www.size43.com/16by9-aspect-ratio-calculator
When you adjust your tablet area, just drag the box to approximately the size you want it, then input the width number into that calculator and it will give you a height value for a perfect 16:9 box that you can type into the XP-Pen driver.

My tips would be:

  1. Use Hawku drivers if your tablet has compatibility. It's because it's easy to use and set areas with forced aspect-ratio
  2. Try to switch grips and find something you're comfortable with (Sometimes your writing grip can be harmful, if you get harm from it, switch grip)
  3. Don't rely on other people's areas because each one depends on a different grip of the pen, find YOUR grip and area
  4. Have in mind that you can drag the pen or hover it (no pen-tablet contact). for drag just disable mouse-clicks with F10
  5. There's more play styles with tablet, check, for example, doki and emilia play styles
