Well the advantage of any of the more expensive tablet is more resolution which shouldn’t impact osu! anyways.

@@erenjaeger8624 Not necessarily. Most drawing software from what I remember, has there own settings for smoothing and such; so ot isn't really necessary to have hardware smoothing implemented. Even then, I'm sure there's people who work on tablet drivers for drawing, like those for osu.

I've been using the VEIKK S640 for quite some time now for both drawing and osu!, and I can safely say that it is an amazing tablet for both. It feels great to draw with (especially because of the great pressure sensitivity it has) and also it's amazing to play osu! with (it's great for dragging since it's surface is smooth af). I felt quite bad when you said that "these low budget tablets are only for osu! and nothing else" (something along those lines), which is absolutely not true (for the VEIKK at least, I have no experience with the other ones).

i have the Veikk S640(used that before i got my hands on a ctl480) and its actually not that bad as youre making it out to be. i made a simple test setup(using raspberry pi) that tested the latency from movement of pen-cursor movement ingame, which turned out to swing around 2.4 to 2.9 ms.(like a sinewave,very consistent so im sure its something the tablet does, not the test setup) 2.4ms really is not that noticable, so the S640 is enough for the average osu! player. Edit: what i forgot to mention is that while YES, the pen is indeed shit,you dont really mind that if you have big hands, and the guy i gave it to said that he got used to it pretty quickly. btw if youre wondering the CTL 480 has 0.7ms, ~0.3 of which are due to me being a dumbass and not doing the test properly(too lazy to do it again)

I got my set for just over $20 on sale from amazon and it's thin enough for me to close between my laptop screen and the palmrest (with the thick part sticking out). I only use it for osu! and I do agree with the assessment that these are only good for osu and little else (except maybe the Veikk as I used to use one of those before I got my wacom).

Also, the pen has a better grip but that might just be me.

I used to use the huion 1060Plus because that is what I got more for game dev work. Now I have started using an iPad with the apple pencil and the Easycanvas app. It lacks the ability to hover the pen like a normal graphics tablet so I can't see where I am aiming until I put the pen on the screen but otherwise the latency is the same as a normal tablet when I am looking at my normal monitor not the iPad screen and it works really nicely.

[@yorushiko6636]

I'm using a VEIKK s640, since it's cheap but better than the other cheap tablets , i knew it has hardware smoothing, but I'll get used to it eventually, anyway this vid helps me pick what i want, so thanks :-)

[@bobalban3446]

I currently have an xp-pen, and I have a lot of issue with the pen. When I play, I sweat a bit, and it becomes bery difficult to have a solid grip. I put a tennis grip over my pen to avoid this issue, but it is not perfect. So I'm asking something : is there someone that faced a similar problem to the one I described? And also, if you have a GAOMON S620, a Wacom CTL472 or even a 480, does the pend feel different? Is it easier for you to have a solid grip with it? It would be very cool to have feedback from you guys :)

[@deshtheturtle9917]

Just ordered a 472, so exited!!

[@lhwhiskers7351]

so how is it?

[@deshtheturtle9917]

@@lhwhiskers7351 I got it about three days after ordering and can now successfully do 5 star jump maps. The only bad thing is that I couldn’t set up the hawks drivers because when I did my tablet wouldn’t work on osu! Right. So I had to use the Wacom drivers but it’s good.

[@Rezeee]

I use the Wacom CTL 472 and I highly recommend it. It's around £31 (It's in GBP, I am from England, It's around 42 USD dollars) so It can be a little bit pricy compared to other tablets which cost under 40 Dollars however it is really good. There is no hardware smoothing which is a good thing, It's pretty sturdy, When bending it, It wont ben, The pen is also really comfortable in my experience as it is lightweight, Not too fat but not too skinny and it like curves at the end which is nice as I pinch my fingers when gripping my pen. There were a few inconvieniences such as when using the tablet with my left hand (I'm left handed) I needed to flip the tablet around, Disable Left Handed mode in hawku driver and put my area towards the top. The wire could also get in the way, Other than that it's great!

[@TedRLY]

For those curious ab the wacom ctl 472 The surface is so rough, like super hard to aim anything rough. It is probably really good for digital art since the surface is like paper, but for osu it is very hard to control. I recommend getting a tablet cover for it since with a cover it is super stacked. Great pen (i wrapped it in tennis grip tape) and little to no latency. 10/10 would recommend

[@Miracolee]

wacom drivers = little to no latency hawku drivers = no latency

[@Wiktor2802]

I clicked on the video because I saw he was reviewing my tablet. XP-PEN!!!

[@BlOrg_]

I use a Wacom intuos for drawing before I got into osu! It was the best purchase I’ve ever made, lots of pen pressure and amazing quick for osu! I’ve had it for 3 years and I have been using it everyday and surprisingly no driver failure or glitches! Wacom is an amazing quality brand for tablets, if you ever want a good one, go there! They also have a good price too! The one I got came with 3 2 year subscription to drawing apps including clip studio paint which I love so very much! It was around 100-200 Canadian dollars. Great purchase 10000000/10 and amazingly great for osu! The battery seems to never die if I’m being honest

[@jamnik2267]

if you're using gaomon, xp-pen or huion you can try out "anti-smoothing filter". If you install infinityghost's fork of hawku drivers (he made it more cusmomiable) you can either choose a preset or figure best values for you on your own. I got ctl-480, but previously i was using xp-pen g640 (old one) and with this filter on I feel only minimal latency compared to ctl480.

[@jamnik2267]

also you didnt mention hover distance of those tablets. Compared to ctl480, g640's hover distance is more than 2 times smaller so its very hard to not play drag with this tablet

[@shana_dmr]

Honestly I use XP-PEN G430S for sculpting and it's all right, so it's usable outside of osu! at least in some applications.

[@HappySlappyFace]

been using gaomon s620 for like 14 months now and anyone that has it should consider the following: OpenTabletDriver ( this is for all tablets ) it has antichatter and all good shit ( the driver is still in dev but it is fully usable for osu ) removing the pen buttons/rubber is something you can do easily

[@cryolel]

Just bought an xp pen tablet for my first one and now kinda scared about hardware smoothing

[@nicholasmutchler5093]

I have no other Tablets to compare the VEIKK too but for me a pretty new player it works perfect.

[@Lunathean]

I've waited almost 2 years for this video. . . It was so stressful hunting down a 480 for a decent price, I dunno. I have a weird mind were I only want to best when it comes to gaming relate issues, I have a hard time trying to make up my mind when it comes to these things, But I'm glad that this video is finally out there for people who might be in the same boat I was almost 2 years ago

[@MrBRE3Z]

I had the h420 and my battery case inside got corroded after not playing osu for a year or two. It doesnt work anymore and got the h430p which feels pretty good and doesnt need a battery ! PS I bought it because I wanted to play osu again after finding your channel a couple months ago and found my dead pen haha

[@skrimp9919]

I've literally had all these tablets except the XP Pen G430S and the Wacom 472, Veikk s640 actually served me quite well but I may switch back to my Gaomon S620 for a better experience.

[@Cyrame]

When is the 12 hour long ULTIMATE osu! mechanical keyboard switch comparison?

[@lairofzombies]

I ordered my gaomon last week (still shipping) since I want to upgrade my drawing experience, and now that I see I can use it for Osu, I’m gonna get a lot of uses out of it 👀

[@xSnuzzy]

I use a ctl-490 and the pen for the Wacom one is very similar and probably slips out a lot as my 490 pen doesn’t have any grip edit: I also plan to get a 480 later this year from buyee

[@sempuu_]

I'm quite glad that the 472 is just $40 in SEA. Still not cheap but it's better than the $60 pricepoint for you guys living in the west

[@brrandy1103]

I didn’t even realise the ctl472 was one of the best tablets lol, I just found it in a random store one time for $30

[@wDec149]

i've got the xp-pen g640S and it isn't compitable with the Hawku drivers, which is something i've just brushed off. but now i'm starting to think i could have a much better experience if i get something that is actually compitable. i think i'll try the 472.

[@user-qk8rt9yf9v]

I use the G430S instead of the G640 is because I will never ever use that much surface area. Better to save $10.

[@Hysz.]

I did a similar thing where I bought the g640 instead of the g430s just because the cable comes out the top rather than the side, glad I spent the extra $10

[@matt5g]

I got the xp pen g430s for my first tablet mostly because I'm broke, and also because I heard from a friend that it was a good tablet to start with and I'm very impressed with it, but it has only been 4 days or so since I got it

[@hifushiri]

why isn't this a tier list, what a missed opportunity

[@ShakKy33]

so i resume what is the best one ?

[@zeelduh]

ive had the gaomon S620 ever since i started doing digital art so i just started using it for osu and have been fine ever since

[@aladdad1]

i use the 472 its great but i have added smoothing using hawku because i play using a ridiculously small area of 23mm which cause it to shake soo much that its unplayable. back when i had an xp pen g640s v1using that small area did not cause my my cursor to shake. so its something to keep in mind if someone wants to get the 472 but uses a really small area.
