pffff... who cares. I use wii controller to play osu.

I know this brand isn't often mentioned but i plan to buy the Xp-pen Star G430 or the Star 01.
Which one should i buy, both have 2048 pressure and 5080 lpi. Is the star 01 even compatible for osu?
I also am gonna graphic design and digital paint so i need it to be compatible with programs such as Sai and photoshop.

I have the G430, I would definitely recommend it for osu...
I don't know if it works on photoshop, but it probably does.

Does somebody know a good tablet for around 70€?
I wanted to buy the Wacom ctl 480 but i cant seem to find it anywhere where i dont have to pay like 30-40€ shipping (I live in Germany)
Rdzu
Just buy the CTL490.

Planning to buy G430, because I can already understand that I won't be able to play through maps with 5+ stars on the mouse with my prefered sensitivity and trying a higher one is very painful. But on the other hand than osu loses a way to train in aiming with mouth. Also, I'm a bit afraid cause I'm left-handed.
Any suggestions, guys?

Hello to everyone here, today I was searching about a cheap tablet that let me play (osu) and work editing images like photoshop.

There are 2 tablets in my mind right now:
-Genius i405x
Pros:
I can buy it on my city.
More active space.
Cons:
4:3 support.
There is no repair for a broken pen. (I need to brought a entire new tablet)

-Osu!Tablet 2016
Pros:
Better pressure, and other numbers that I don't understand.
Doesn't use battery.
16:9 support.
Cons:
Less active space.
It's out of my country which in Argentina is always bad.

So anyone can tell me pros and cons about it? I have the money to buy them, but I don't want to waste it.

Regards.

I am no pro in osu!, but go with the osu!tablet; it's somewhat better than the Genius.

What tablet is recommended for someone whom will ONLY use the tablet for osu?

It doesn't matter which one you get, you will like it or hate it no mater which one it is, it's just that the first tablet you get, will shape you.. For example my first one was CTL480 so automatically I wanted a tablet that has light pen, so I chose XP-Pen G430, most of who started on osu! tablet (or Huion) don't like light pens. Same goes to tablet area, I used half of the CTL480 area so G430 whole area was pretty much the same.

TLDR: my suggestion would be to get the one that looks good for you (I mean looks not specs) and you will shape accordingly.

P.S. When I changed to XP-Pen G430 I was putting my hand on the tablet, since G430 is way smaller I somehow started hover my wrist too.. so even if you change tablet along the way you will adapt to it too.

Can someone recommend me a tablet that will last, and doesn't scratch really easily? I've been using the Huion 420 for half a year and it's good for its price, but it's been having issues with USB recognition, and the surface is really scratched. I don't draw, and I just want to use it for osu, but I don't mind paying more for a better tablet.

It's hard to recommend something other than another Huion since you are now used to heavy pen. If you don't mind light pens, you can go with Wacom Intuos, they are great.

I have a One by Wacon small, i recommend

I got the Intuos Manga a while back because I needed it for unrelated purposes in the past. Up until now I have been using the mouse but I want to try using my tablet but the tablet feels way to big to me. How small should I make the tablet proportions and should I have the proportions in a square or rectangle shape?
Thanks

Is the huion h610 pro the same tablet as the h420 but just bigger like is there any other benefit to either.
Space-Dandy
Does anybody know If I need to be at 1x sensitivity and raw input off?? I just got the CTH-480 and I'm loving it but I'd love to know the optimal way to use it!! I want to be my best with it :o :?:

Ok thanks, I think the only difference then is the textured surface which could change the feel of play either for better or worse I'm not sure yet.

You don't need to be at 1 sensitivity, also try playing with toggling with raw input on and then off. I've heard some people get more latency with it and some more without. So just try both and find out what feels more responsive for you.

Huion 420 is an all round good tablet for OSU, its cheap and reliable. My friend had one and I have the 610 pro which is just a bigger 420. No noticeable input lag on this tablet.

You shouldn't mess with osu sens if you're using a tablet since it will screw with your tablet area. So 1x is the way to go.
I use the CTH-480, I get 0,4ms input lag (non-existent basically) with or without raw input.



I can recommend that tablet. It's also quite cheap to get if you just look for it anywhere other than amazon.
I bought mine for 75 bucks on ebay and had zero issues with it. Right now there are also several offers (Germany) for 60~ euro for a CTH-480 including pen, nibs and cable.
Most people are even selling basically new tablets because they simply don't "feel it". So you're getting a pretty much new CTH-480 including all you need for "only" 60 bucks.



Edit: Just don't forget to install latest drivers and download FixMyPen to get rid of the initial input lag caused by the stabilizing feature.

I used an Intuos small as my first Tablet and it was great. however i didn't get a Warranty so im gonna get a bamboo too replace it :)

I was thinking of either getting a Bamboo Connect, or a Huion 420. Do you think either of these are a good option? I'm mostly worrying about latency and hover height. My Wacom 490 has a lot of latency, and I was looking for something better. I wanted to get a Wacom 480, but I couldn't find a safe place to buy it under $100. If you think any other tablets would be good, I'm also up for that.

Is there another site where the guide is up? I've been a longtime osu player and I've been thinking about buying a tablet.
Edit: I've been playing with a mouse (no mousepad) and I was thinking about switching it up

Huion 420 all the way, it's cheap and pretty much all you need. Even if you find out you suck at tablet, it doesn't matter because it's only 20-25 dollars.

I personally use the newer intuos tablet I forget the exact model, I used it for drawing originally but I've pretty much stuck to making it my Osu! Tablet because I got a Cintiq or whatever and my friend uses his Cintiq for Osu! As well as he is less serious about Osu! Compared to graphic design but it's a cheap tablet about 50$ on Amazon so I recommend it for sure I haven't had a single issue with my Intous other than the disc the drivers comes with is bunk and you'll have To say screw the drivers they give you on install and grab them off of the archive of drivers because the ones the give you are out of date for the newer Intuos and then you can't use your tablet at all haha

H420 All you need? Man, I can't go back to H420, not only the pen is too heavy and it has batteries which results in a higher center of mass which will make it more difficult for your hans to control it, it's also really easy to break it. The surface is also pretty bad if you're hovering as it will work like a sandpaper. There is almost little to no place to put your hand on it, as after 3-4h of playing it will start to hurt (the tablet itselelf is too small). I would highly recommend purchasing a tablet from ugee/wacom if you're trying to get to top1000/100/whatever your goal is - of course all of that is only my opinion :)
