I am using the 490, with hawku drivers. It works just fine, btw I do recommend it. It is pretty straight forward tablet + aesthetic af. (I am using the small version so it doesn't take desk space)
i heard its hover distance was also atrocious though, and the pen apparently feels like crap.
it seems older wacom tablets are the best in general, Wacom is a corporation and corporations don't just make "superior" products as time goes on, especially when they have little to no competition, they also get better at cutting corners and it shows. It's extra bad for osu players since they don't make tablets for us, so the ways they do cut corners i.e a few extra milliseconds of latency that may or may not go away with hacked drivers, less hover distance, and such do not really matter for their target market but are terrible for us.
When you look at what advantages newer Intuos models bring to the table compared to older bamboo tablets, it's shit like more pressure sensitivity levels or button/driver related artist features is totally useless for us. That said, would seriously consider buying like a used cth 460 rather than anything new from wacom if my 470 dies.
It's not like a 490's hover distance or pen are going to limit your growth as a player (the latency might if the hacked drivers dont fix your problem) but why spend more for new hardware that offers nothing really advantageous over the older crop of tablets aside from being mint out of the box?
