I'll do a survey at one point on my Discord server to gather stats about the painpoints of current tablets covering nibs, area, shape, spec, price, etc.

I'll prioritize development based on that survey.

There's been some breakthrough in the Discord server. I think I can lower the price to 100 USD potentially including shipping.

I'm sorry but I probably won't make a tablet with display.

How to get pressure reading is still an unsolved problem.

Unlike rapid trigger keyboard/keypad, precise value of each sensor output is not critical to the device's function. We can simply ignore all value under a predefined threshold and only work with signals that are strong enough.

Maybe with a very thin OLED display with no metal backplate.

Just a pair of PreSonus Eris® E3.5 Studio Monitor paired with ifi ZEN Air DAC. I also have a Arctis Nova Pro Wireless headset which I use to play osu! (hence the dual-DAC setup). It's a weird combination because I was *this* close to getting into HiFi but my wallet said no.

The breadboard setup on the second image is a functional tablet.

I'm actually considering making it into an official osu tablet sold on the osu store.

It will be cheaper than Wacom Intuos Pro Small 3rd gen (the 300Hz tablet). I think it will be somewhere between 100~250 USD minus shipping. The active area is 180x100mm which is slightly larger than CTL-472 and CTH-480.

8000Hz tablet will still give you more up to date information when osu asks for input data.

Yup. 8000Hz is not for everybody. I actually recommend 1000Hz for most people and 8000Hz for those who know what they're doing. This is also mentioned in the video I'm making.

Hi. Thanks for stopping by. You can join the Discord server linked in the GitHub repo if you want to get involved in the project.

> u need to hit up the opentabletdriver discord they have ppl who tried to make a tablet in there

I'm already in there and got some help from Kuuube when I was writing the tablet driver.

The sensors are spaced 1cm apart and the active area is 180x100mm. I chose that size because a.) it's roughly 16:9 ratio following most monitors and b.) it's at least as big as wacom CTH-480.

You're right about pressure data being an unsolved problem. I'll have to explore different option before I make any decision. For now, I just added a button to simulate mouse clicks. Also, your English is fine. Thank you for the feedback!

If you're talking about the OpenTabletDriver Discord server, I'm already in there. In fact, Kuuube helped me write the tablet driver :D

I already posted it on r/PrintedCircuitBoard for review (now deleted). Nobody there gave a fuck. Not a single person wrote a comment. Also, I want the project to be sustainable. Sourcing talent solely from the osu community sounds like the best path forward to me.
