A while ago I made this post where I asked for recommendations for a new drawing tablet and I decided to get the Wacom CTL-472, so here's a short review of it.

Overall I really like this tablet and it was definitely an upgrade over the Veikk S640 that I had before.
The pen is really light and I like that it gets wider towards the bottom, which makes it so it doesn't keep slipping while I'm playing. I also like how dragging the pen on the tablet feels. There's some resistance, which I find makes it easier to control my aim but the downside of that is that the pen nib wears down really fast, which is the only downside this tablet has, in my opinion.
The build quality is also good and there's no hardware smoothing.

I'd definitely recommend this tablet, it's already considered one of the best, if not the best, osu! tablet you can get.

I'm currently using a Veikk S640 but I'm thinking about upgrading to a better tablet. I only got that one because it was cheap and I didn't have a lot of money at that time. I obviously want one without hardware smoothing and my play area is rather small (I can tell you the exact size if it's important), so size shouldn't matter. Price isn't that important either.

Do you have any recommendations?

Edit: The tablet I decided on was the CTL-472. I just ordered it but I'll probably update this post or make a new one about how much of a difference it made compared to my current tablet.

Just wanted to ask if you think it's a good idea to upgrade to a better tablet from the Veikk S640 and if you do, what tablet you'd recommend.

I bought this tablet back when I was still in school because it was cheap but now I have a job and can afford a better one. My brother also lent it from me a few times, he'd probably be happy to have the Veikk, even if he mostly plays other rythm games.

As I've posted previously; I was suggesting a mapping collaboration which has recieved some positive feedback.

Let's leave some song/genre suggestions you have to map to begin. What would fit it well? Feel free to reply with your suggestions.

Seeing the collaborative work in the recent canvas event made me think we can pull something like this.

I propose that in the first week we submit songs, pick one with the highest upvotes and create a beatmapset accordingly. We could create a diffspread for everyone to enjoy; or have a specific diff range for all to submit difficulties as.

If you don't have any mapping experience do not worry; you could see this as an experience to learn how to do so.

Would be interesting to know what skins everyone's using.

The skin I'm using is 霜滅 SOUMETSU by thetasigma

Been using this skin since it was released and I haven't found a better skin yet, this was the first skin that made me stop frankensteining together other skins to get a skin that I can actually play well with and it looks great.

Here's a counter for how long you can still vote that I made for fun but don't know how to embed in this post or if that's even possible
