I was planning to buy ctl 472 small but it's out of stock. So which one I should buy guys? Ctl 472 medium or Ctl 4100 small. I am using the tablet for OSU and drawing (just for fun). They are the same price. Or any other tablet suggestions?

CTL-472 is really good if you are going to play osu! alot, especially if you're going to focus on the game competitively, it has no hardware smoothing which is good for osu!, but lacking some features for drawing, but you still can draw with a pretty decent experience on it.

While the CTL-4100 is more on the balanced side, it has most of the things you need to draw, and play osu!, but there is hardware smoothing which may turn some people off for osu!, but you can get used to it and be good at the game with it.

In conclusion,
- get the ctl 472 if you're going to play osu! alot and some drawing
- get the ctl-4100 if you're mostly going to draw and play osu! just for fun

I've been using the CTL-4100 for over a year now, I don't really have a problem with it.
Probably not the best option for osu!, but it has worked for me.
DM FOR MUTUAL
I used the CTL-4100 for around half my osu playtime, and then switched to the CTL-472 for the other half, dragging on both. Didn't really notice any difference. I don't have access to the CTL-4100 now so I haven't had a chance to compare them side to side though, so what I say isn't fully accurate. I've heard the CTL-4100 has pretty horrendous smoothing if you hover and no smoothing if you drag, but I don't know how accurate this is, and I didn't noticed anything when I was using it with OTD. You'll probably be fine with the CTL-4100 as long as you use OTD and drag.

I guess if they're the same price, the CTL-472 medium is the better option. It's bigger, so it's probably better for drawing as well. The CTL-4100 has a bunch of buttons though, and maybe that's better. Idk, I've never actually drawn anything with my drawing tablets in the 1.5+ years I've been using them, apart from smoke penises during map breaks.

there's no 472 medium, it's called 672. all 472 are small size.

4100 is one of the worst wacom tablets afaik, would not get it.
