I've decided to take the step forward and buy a pen tablet.

I'm not a skilled osu! player, or a professional artist, so that's why I don't want to spend too much money on my first tablet. I just want a tablet I can use to draw and play osu! :3.
I only expect to use what seems like 90-100€.

I haven't gotten much time to look for one because of upcoming exams, but what I found was the Wacom Intuos S.
(http://www.wacom.com/en/de/creative/intuos-pen)

Out of what I've read, It should be good, durable and comfortable when drawing. But I haven't found anything about it's performance in osu!

My Questions:
- Is this a good and durable tablet for both drawing and osu! ?
- Is it worth the money?
- Should I buy it?
- Are there better pen tablets out there that I should buy?

I expect to buy a pen tablet after some month. As mentioned, I have upcoming exams, and wouldn't have time to play and practice osu!

Thank you for taking your time :3

P.s. anyone who says they're buying a tablet to draw and play osu! is only going to do the latter, in reality.

It'll be fine for drawing and osu, it will last a long time if you treat it decently.

- Is it worth the money?
If you have money to spare then go for it, I'd say it's worth it.

- Should I buy it?
If you want it and will use it and have the money, then sure.

- Are there better pen tablets out there that I should buy?
Intuos or something like a ctl470 or ctl460, it doesn't really matter. They are pretty similar prices and do similar things.

I personally got this tablet years ago : It's a tablet!
and it looks like this :

I have not bought a new pen once (And it is over 4 years old ish)
(Note I do hover instead of drag my pen along the tablet while playing)

And as proof that it works :



Literally years later still able to use the tablet to play osu every day. Great purchase.

But it comes down to preference. So do some shopping, and make a choice and try it out.

I'm going to hijack this thread for my own tablet question. I currently have an osu tablet preordered, but I have some spare cash and am wondering if I'd do better with a Wacom tablet. I will probably end up using it just for osu, and I don't think I will be using a big area.

Wait until the osu tablet gets there, if it's shit (which i doubt it will be too bad), you know what to do.

The intuos pen small is cheaper than that in the first place, and comes with updated drivers and possibly better polling rate.
