HUION H420 OSU Graphics Drawing Tablet Signature Pad with Digital Stylus and 3 Express Keys Black

For the price, this tablet is great. For those of you who want to test the waters and see if the tablet play-style is better for you, you may have found the tablet you've been looking for.I was a mouse player at first, but felt restricted due to the amount of wrist movement involved in completing large jumps or going through fast-paced songs. There was a lot of friction/drag that I was dealing with and it was recommended that I play on a low mouse sensitivity (800-1k) even though I thought higher sensitivity reduced the amount of effort involved in completing a song. I saw that a friend of mine had this tablet and he said he had noticed an improvement over mouse, so I pulled the trigger. I thought, why not see what this is like.Upon receiving the tablet, I plugged it in and instead of using the (possibly older) drivers that came with it on the CD, I downloaded the latest drivers from Huion's website. The install went through and allowed me to configure the tablet. First thing I did was change the screen to match my osu! Unchecked "Support TabletPC". Went into advanced settings and selected "Screen ratio" so that the tablet area 1:1 matches what you're seeing in game. Make sure the "Control cursor" option is checked.Next, press start and search for the "Pen and Touch" setting (Win10). Double click the "Press and hold" option, uncheck the box. Click on flicks, make sure that these are unchecked. Having these checked will cause any fast movement of the pen to preform an action, which we don't want to happen in this case. Click apply.-----osu! settings:Settings\mouse :**Raw input enabled**Map absolute raw input to the osu! window: Disabled (optional, but theres no need for this to be enabled since we have this configured in the drivers).**Disable mouse buttons in play mode : Enabled (Not optional. If you don't have mouse buttons disabled, when you press the pen to the tablet it will count as you holding left click. Since you're already pressing left click, it won't let you use Z/X to hit notes and you'll miss everything. F10 is the hotkey to disable or enable these, so be careful if you use the other F keys.:Settings\Other :**OS TabletPC support : Enabled(Optional) I used a small knife to pry the button off of the side of the pen. If these buttons are pressed they will stop the movement of the cursor in-game, even if you have them set to do nothing in the driver. I kept accidentally pressing these and i decided that they HAD to GO lol. The button will come off easily and is not held in there by any wires. The good thing about this is that if you ever want to have the side button back, you can simply put it back in. Just don't lose it ;)That should be all of the settings that you need to configure. Seems like a lot but it doesn't take long and once you do it you're set and only need to open the driver again to switch the monitors that the pen is active on.Onto the actual review. When I first started trying to play on the tablet there was a bit of a learning curve. I had never used a pen before and wasn't sure on how I should grip the pen or where I should keep the tablet itself. I am also left handed, so I had to switch hands (left for the pen, right for tapping num keys). Within a couple of days though I had this thing down. I was going all over the screen easily without any friction and found that I could now keep up with long jumps and fast paced songs. Before I would fail spinners, causing me to lose my FC, and I had a tough time going from a spinner to immediate next note whereas now I can get additional points from spinning so fast. This seems to have resolved the issues I had with a mouse. Once you get past the learning curve I feel that the improvement is very noticeable. To me this is the best way to play osu! Yes there are pro mouse players out there, not hating on mouse players (tablets aren't for everyone) but for me I was able to exceed the amount of skill that I had with the mouse in a very short amount of time. If you regularly play osu!, then I would recommend trying a tablet and seeing if it improves your experience.This tablet has not given me any issues5/5

This is really good but it’s small

I would like to put it out there that I am in no way an artist of any kind. I used to be, but rheumatoid arthritis wasn't kind to my wrists. However! There is always potential. Back in 2004 I was gifted a Wacom tablet by a friend. You remember the really tiny blue ones, right? Well, that thing died years and years ago and as my wrists started to act up more, the less I wanted to draw. Image stabilization is an amazing thing cause us people with shaky hands can have smoother lines, which is why I went back to drawing with a tablet.Now on to the specifics.- The pen is a little wonky for my tastes. By that I mean, my fingers and the way I hold a pen... I hit the stupid little easy control buttons on the pen. A minor inconvenience that can be fooled around with in the settings.- Very smooth work space that is compatible to other tablets out there. Pen glides smoothly.- The pen is battery operated, but you can buy a wireless pen to replace it. Honestly it isn't a big drawback though.- Pressure controls are pretty good in comparison to what I have owned before. My ONLY drawback is that sometimes the driver for this sometimes acts up and I have trouble with the pen not registering the pressure. The only way I was able to fix this was to uninstall completely and reinstall. I don't know if it was just a "just me" type error.- Lefties beware. The controls are on the left side of the tablet. It depends on how you hold your pen if you'll run in to them. On the driver settings you should be able to disable or change them so you're not messing with your work.Also, my CD came in very nonfunctional. Aka, I had to go to the website and download the drivers. Huh? Alright then.In all honesty, one may think that what I've listed wouldn't give it a 4 star review, but for what it does offer and the price, it deserves the 4. If any fixes were made with the driver and program itself I'd give it a 5!
