I thought the title just said "I Tried Using A Pen" And just thought he never used a pen before.

[@Nas_Allie]

I’m 25 & I’ve barely used a pen since I was about 9 because all my schools just threw laptops at us & that was the norm like what

Same

[@darrenfalconer3267]

Thought the same bloody thing haha

[@Dorraj]

@@Nas_Allie I'm 2 years older than you (27) and I never got to use a laptop at school till like sophomore year of HS. I guess I went to really poor schools cause I see all these people my age talking about how digital their school lives were.

[@gabproductions3312]

This will soon turn into dawid draws tech stuff

[@AnnaDoes]

Check out the video where he first unboxed the drawing pad - his skills are something :'D (video called: I accept Even more Random Tech Crap for a video)

[@limelorax]

Dawid: "I Tried Gaming Using A Pen." Osu Players: First time?

[@stanleychen2584]

[@know_how_games]

I have one of the lower end VEIKK tablets for osu

[@alexanderunknown8605]

Sh*tosu

[@alexanderunknown8605]

Yes, first time using a pen is great experience, especially when your puss isn’t fully developed ;)

[@tropixi5336]

i was thinking the same thing

[@javidaderson]

I've been using drawing tablets for over 10 years, not once have I every though about gaming on one. I wonder how a slower game like a RTS or the sims would play on one.

[@kuma_score7536]

a sim can be quite nice depending on the title, gives a similar experience to using a Tablet but with a larger screen. I mostly use my drawing tablet for rythm games like OSU though.

[@jadadpe3873]

I wish i had a whole table to draw on

[@Kiabeta]

I have a friend who uses a drawpad to play rythm games on like OSU and he says it works out really qell

[@RisingRevengeance]

I imagine it would feel somewhat similar to using a trackpad like on the steam controller. I have a wacom tablet but too lazy to try myself.

[@Blacksadify]

I'd imagine it would work fine with any game like that. RTS or probably CRPG's also.

[@imjustsomeguy]

For osu, you have to press Z or X on the keyboard to tap or hold on the circles. You use the mouse or pen for just moving, no tapping. In the settings, you can disable mouse/pen clicks during play mode to prevent accidental tapping

[@kevinsteinman8967]

I have to admit...Dawid never fails to amuse me with all the crazy stuff he comes up with to try next. Glad I was one of the first subscriber's to his wacky and crazy channel.

[@readyRick]

5:45 Yo thats me The osu segment was incredibly funny, even if it isnt for you i hope you were able to see how a tablet could make for a better input device than a mouse in that game in particular

[@Mih52]

0:41 Thanks for including the comment. I am using the huion HS610 for most of my editing practice and blender stuff. But seeing there is a game mode made me think why not use it in the games. So I like the work you are doing to show that you can use pen tablet as a mouse in certain games.

[@axis0881]

wat i love is people doing reviews on "using a drawing tablet for gaming" then not even setting it up right at all, then saying it sucks, kek

[@MsDubsy]

"Driving works very well" *hits everything*

[@Joreel]

Dawid is now secretly addicted to OSU! LoL 😂

[@therealstupidwaffle]

anna leaves him and he loses everything

[@Joreel]

@@therealstupidwaffle Nah... We love Anna, she's very sweet and wouldn't leave him. She'd probably just taser him until his addiction is over.

[@joli22]

@@Joreel or play osu! with him

[@KennyFrierson]

I feel like this would be good for that trumpet rhythm game

[@Tunnelfish2]

In 1994, I used a small Wacom ArtZ pad and pen to play Doom. Pretty much the same deal as here.

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

I envy Dawid greatly for having never known what Osu was

[@sshep86]

0:55 Why stop at just the glove? I'm not ready until I have put on the full blown drawing gimp suit.

[@philtkaswahl2124]

"It's a very hit-or-miss process" being used to describe driving via pen while the car is ramming into things is just funny on multiple levels.

[@RethSogenVT]

Dawid continually blurring the line between shit post and actual tech review and I'm here for it

[@comradeklaymore]

There must be something weird with the Veikk drivers, I used to game with an XP-Pen tablet in mouse mode and it worked perfectly; I could turn in a full 360 and it wasn't acting like a joystick. Of course it was still pretty hard to game with a drawing tablet and you lose the scroll wheel, but still it was pretty fun.

[@Gatorade69]

I think it depends on the game. Every game treats it a bit differently.

[@comradeklaymore]

@@Gatorade69 Idk, I was playing Apex, Roblox, Valorant, Unturned, TABG, Minecraft, Fortnite, and other games like that and I never had any issues. If I didn't have it on mouse mode it would be weird like in this video, but when set to mouse mode there were never any issues it just worked like a mouse. That's why I thought the Veikk tablet drivers were probably being a bit weird and not doing mouse mode properly. He could try using something like OpenTabletDriver instead, which I also used and didn't have any issues with.

[@vinylSummer]

@@comradeklaymore bro why did you use a tablet instead of a mouse..

[@comradeklaymore]

@@vinylSummer cause it was fun. Why are you commenting on a video about someone using a tablet instead of a mouse lol

[@vinylSummer]

@@comradeklaymore cause it's David the lizard and he's doing all sorts of stupid things for content. I didn't think that real humans would do something like that for longer than a few minutes AND find it to be any fun. Tried it personally in cs go, my character went spinning very fast every time I tried to do anything so I never tried it again

[@TheGoatBeats]

Dawid, you should revisit 2017-2019 gaming hardware. I5 6500 go for 15-35€ and gtx 1060 3gb goes for 60-90€ in the used market. Compare those to 6400 6500 area cards. You could build a solid pc with 200-230€ (case only ofc).

[@b0ne91]

Better just go Haswell, cheap Xeon E3 1240 v3 are still available and any OEM office build will take them. That era hardware has PSUs that are still standard ATX and replaceable. Overall it's cheaper and much better than Skylake. Skylake motherboards and such will be competitive in price/performance when someone figures out how to get Chinese LGA 1151 mutants like the QTJ2 working on those office/OEM boards.

[@Dracossaint]

@@b0ne91 xeons are not as plug and play tho.

[@Dracossaint]

@@b0ne91 Also you could just get a Dell optiplex and replace the PSU with a few adapters.

[@b0ne91]

@@Dracossaint Yes, yes they are. They share the CPUID of the i5 and i7 of the same generation (i5 4xxx) and are included in the same microcode. They are plug and play for pretty much any OEM system - Dell, HP, Lenovo, you name it. That's true for Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell Xeon E3. At Skylake, you need to mod the board and add the micro codes yourself.

[@b0ne91]

@@Dracossaint yes, but getting a Haswell OEM systems and putting a Xeon in is still cheaper. You'd likely replace the PSU on both systems anyway. Once you go to Coffee Lake, the PSUs become weird form factors and shit too, so it gets even worse

[@SuperVyhul]

Pal ,i dont know why i like your videos ,but i cant wait for another. Maybe your accent or style how you do videos :) but like always big thump up. :)

[@tylerelson3715]

that's a sweet gaming pen, it's unlike any gaming pens I've ever seen

[@ilovemonkeyos]

Pro-tip: The sexy ‘artist glove’ gives every game you play an additional 5FPS when wearing it. This bonus stacks with your relative RGB FPS bonuses.

[@flutetobassmusician]

This was what I needed to find

[@Jay_the_Caffeinator]

YES!!!! See this is the kind of awesomesauce video of why I love watching Dawid. What's the craziest thing to do with a computer?? Challenge accepted! Dawid, I wonder if Anna would be better with it? I know my daughter works the pen Wayyy better than I do. Well, it is hers. Lol

[@3X73RM]

That Half-life 2 showcase is pretty much exactly what it looks like when I try to play with a game pad instead of a mouse xD Just teeny tiny movements around my intended target, then I get impatient and push a little harder on the thumb stick and I just spin uncontrollably 😂

[@TheL1arL1ar]

For me my original play through was on my laptop and not long ago I was playing it with a combination of gyro and touchpad on my steam deck and docked with a ps4 controller….it feels fine…

[@rachelblake2350]

Glad I'm not the only one who feels like a goddess in their sexy drawing gloves.

[@802Garage]

Dawid have you done any 3D printing? I feel like that would be a really fun space for you to get into.

[@mistachomkmartiantm1810]

i swear this was uploaded before i think its a re upload

[@ProjectPhysX]

I'm sure the pen generally works better than playing MS Flight Simulator with mouse & keyboard

[@achaerna.6662]

I loved this video. This was pretty much the same as "I tried gaming by using only a trackball and my scrotum." (That's not a video idea Dawid.)

[@wandering_bonzi4528]

I've personally been using a drawing tablet for gaming for about 2 weeks now and it's been great, sure there's a learning curve but when you get over it, it gets pretty comfortable and fun to use. I haven't gotten used to FPS games yet, although I don't play them I do plan on starting playing something like CSGO or Valorant.

[@Pendif]

Umm you want to play valorant some time I also play on pen

[@davidharraway8131]

Pretty cool. I work with some disabled gamers some of whom could possibly use this as an access method. I wonder how it would go with an eye tracker plugged in as well?

[@helenkeller1632]

Dawid, I'm disabled and have to play using a trackball instead of mouse. Also you should try my keyboard layout for stuffs and giggles.

[@MangoTangoFox]

TheWarOwl just put out a video of CSGO with a tablet, and the drivers for his model seemed to work very very well.

[@novariousx]

Just my type of video…where has this been all my life? it’s been so long since OSU pft -EDIT:OMG WAIT I PREDICTED IT (legit commented when I saw the beginning and only then did I realize you included OSU…let’s be honest it wan inevitable…the games made for this after all!..definitely a process to play.. sometimes more like Rhythm Heaven/DDR/Guitar Hero to the MAX ✍️💫)

[@Aleksa653]

Good luck whit that mate (here before the video started)

[@rollingtroll]

I do a lot of gaming with a trackball (thumb controlled) and it's honestly quite nice :D.

[@asr-studio1930]

David try the new Intel Driver for the A770

[@scoopstacey3112]

"It's been a long time since I did anything as not for me as OSU" was such a polite way of saying this game is bat shit insane lol

I played a bit of Overwatch with my tablet. For the first time ever, I was good with Widowmaker.

One of my favourite things about owning a drawing tablet is using it on Minecraft and being sent to the shadow realm

[@curtistitschen8354]

Dawid is great and I wish I had the brains he does for this stuff lol it seems like I have endless amount of tech to learn about lol

[@MrEdimitriou]

Making videos of building older Grafik cards sli systems and comparing to the new ones would be an interesting idea!

[@ShamanicEnzan]

“The Art of Battlefield V” will work perfectly for a tablet

[@Ike.V]

I've been playing OSRS on a Microsoft Surface with a pen for awhile. About the only game I'd recommend playing like that.

[@Audiosenses69]

I've been gaming on my XP-Pen Deco MW Pro for 2 and a half years. Can't go back to mouse / keyboard.

[@sakurikunikai7564]

why didnt you use mechanical switches on tablet itself instead of keyboard?

[@zbigniewkrajewski7536]

Very interesting Dwid. I wonder if theres other music games like Osu to play with pen :)

[@emisorano]

Osu but he didn't click with the keyboard arghhh anyways, for using the mouse buttons and having no audio, your first run was actually quite impressive

I play FPS games with a graphic tablet and all games are always in mouse mode and Osu in tablet mode. When u tried BFV in mouse mode and it still didn't work seemed like a shitty tablet, to be honest. I tried Wacom and XPpen and both work with no issues. For Wacom, u can set up sensitivity and for XPpen u sadly have to bump up sensitivity in the game to like 60.

3 years ago i did this using my at the time Huion h640p and my shit HP laptop. and played pirated mc bedwars it was Minecraft but the only servers i could access were ones that let tlauncher clients join and tried for like an hour actually got a kill. the setup was the buttons on the table were movement and the pen buttons were mouse Buttons. i remember making it a vid but I dont know if its still somewhere.
