At last my girlfriend started playing osu! but we have little problem her mouse just doesn't suit osu! at all. It's cheap analog mouse which accuracy is really crap.

So that means I need to buy new mouse to my girlfriend which fits to osu!. I've never really been good mouse player in this game so I don't know which mouse fits mouse best. I was thinking some kind of max 50 euro mouse (can be less) which would be good for starter osu! player. So would you please enlight me with your wisdom and tell me which mouse I should buy to my girlfriend.

I have also another question. My girlfriend is getting tablet after christmas eve. I have noticed this one option from osu! options:
Enable OS TabletPC support: Enable this if you are running a Tablet PC or using graphics tablet and your clicks aren't handled correctly.

So this makes me wonder that what is difference between Tablet PC, graphic Tablet and pen Tablet. Since I have pen tablet myself I know what it is. But I'm not sure is it same as graphic tablet since you can use pen tablet to make graphical things and I think that professional graphical artists use pen tablet to do that instead of mouse? Or does this graphical tablet mean tablet which have graphics in it since pen tablet does not. And what is PC tablet? I really don't have a single clue of that.

EDIT

Well after little googling I found out (or think I found out) that pen tablet and graphical tablet is same thing. But Tablet PC is tablets what majory of people just say to be "tablet. So as example this. Am I right?

So this makes me think that you can actually play osu! by using Tablet PC? Because thats what my girlfriend is getting. Tablet PC not Graphical tablet. And how does it work? Do you play osu! with Tablet PC with same way than graphical tablet or can you get actual osu! to your tablet PC? The same osu! than we play using computer not some osu! app like to your smartphone?

Sorry writing wall of text but I really need answer to this... thanks!

But logitech have so many different mouses. Know any which would suit girls? And my girl actually isn't gamer girl more like well I could say normal girl I guess even though I'm not sure which is normal girl. But she have never really played from computers more like games from smartphones like Bejeweled, don't touch the spikes and such.

Tablet PC refers to a PC with a screen that also acts as a graphics tablet (For example, Surface tablets, Wacom Cintiq etc.). What seperates a Tablet PC from smartphones and tablets is basically the OS, since "Tablet PC" is expected to run a full desktop OS instead of a mobile OS like Android or iOS.

And yes, you can play osu! with a tablet pc the same way you play osu! on a regular pc with a graphics tablet, just that you move the pen over your screen and not a seperate input device. Most tablet pc's are meant for drawing though, and they have a fairly noticeable input latency.

Unless she has gross mutant hands, any mouse will suit.

Okey so everyone who plays osu! can get to the list playing from PC tablet? Oh I didn't know that.

Okey I guess best choise for she is this PC Tablet in that case since it is actually option. I thought that you have to play own version of osu! if you want to play from PC tablet but luckily it isn't so.

At this moment she has either. But she wants to get PC Tablet. Graphic tablets isn't really what she wants to get just for osu! since she haven't really played osu! that much (only 10 plays so far). But PC Tablet she would use for something else also.

Touch screen monitor function might be pretty difficult to get to laptop.

I prefer it also. But my girlfriend does not. So that's the reason why I asked. So you use that tablet as mouse? Or how it does it actually work?

Looks nice and all but since my girlfriend isn't PC gamer I believe it's too expensive for her.

Max 50 euro? uwotm8, you must really LOVE your girlfriend. You can find a 2 euro logitech mouse, they're good enough.

Well the best way to make an iPad like a graphics tablet would be to get a stylus for the iPad and install this app. This might work t/178027

peppy has already stated that the osu!tablet will be getting restocked. when is unknown though. check his twitter every now and then for updates
Since that thread is locked I can't post there so I hope it's fine to ask it here:

Peppy's twitter where he is going to tweet when those tablets are on sell is: https://twitter.com/PPY or something else?

Also Peppy says in his official osu! tablet thread " Preorder?
Current or previous supporters of osu! are given the ability to preorder at https://osu.ppy.sh/p/tablet "
How this actually happens? Couldn't find the way to preorder from that link or from somewhere else either.

yeah thats his twitter

he'll probably make some kind of preorder site again when there'll be new tablets available in the near future.
but for now, as deadbeat said, it will be restocked but it could take a long time [read months/years] untill its here.

years unlikely. more so months, if not weeks if we're lucky enough ;w;
from what i could tell, there were issues with the last batch and peppy wants to make sure all issues are fixed before restocking. might be wrong though
