    I've only used wacoms in the past. The bamboo series is alright but you need to be a little more careful with it than I was because I frayed the USB connection in just over 2 years. The intuos line is better but not as much as you'd think, but you don't have to worry about wrecking an integrated wire setup because it's connected via a generic miniUSB to USB just like any older phone or PS3 controller. It's also wise to invest in surface protectors if you press really hard or if you just generally don't treat your tablet with amazing care.

    I hear that there are some really good tablets for cheaper but I've got no experience with them so I'm not gonna even get into them.

    Yeah, I've only got a wacom tablet, and I don't even use it much (okay, I used it once since i got it more than 2 years ago. I find it hard to get into drawing unless I'm bored and have absolutely nothing else to do), but I also know you can get some programs like Maya if you get it as a package. At least, I got maya and a photoshop editor when I got mine

    I have two uses for the drawing tablet. One is for drawing, while the other is to play osu! easier.

    You might want one with a touchpad feature in that case. I think it's easier and less wear on the tablet than using a pen.

    Well so far, I need help doing the spinners faster. Of course, it will take me a while to get used to using a tablet than using the mouse.
    Thanks for the advise.

    Just remember that if it becomes a price issue you can always get a couple cheap covers to handle the additional wear of using the pen like that and you won't be all that much worse off for use since the fingers over pen thing on osu! is a personal preference of mine that not everyone shares.
