Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers highlight the G430S's ultra-compact A7 size, solid build and high report rate as ideal for osu! rhythm gaming and casual drawing. They commend its 8192 pressure levels and broad software compatibility, but note the absence of tilt, customizable buttons and modern ergonomic features, labeling the design as dated compared with newer tablets.
Everyday users appreciate the tablet's low price, lightweight portability and battery-free pen, reporting smooth performance when proper drivers are used. Common complaints revolve around the slippery, wide stylus, the cramped active area and occasional driver instability, especially with certain osu! versions.
Professional reviewers and editors are not represented in the available sources; the product pages focus on the tablet’s high pressure sensitivity, tilt support and lag‑free performance for beginners and OSU! gamers.
Consumer reviews are absent from the gathered data, so everyday user sentiment cannot be determined beyond the promotional emphasis on portability and value.
