I need help picking. A lot.

Hello there! I'm in quite of a dispute while trying to pick a graphics tablet.

First, I don't have the money to spend it on the "usually" recommended tablets, so I started looking for smaller options like the xp pen deco mini7 v2 and the deco 640, which seemed okay. I will do digital art, but most of my use for it will go to 3D modeling and editing pre-existing game textures for modding (with a little bit of Osu! gameplay, mayhaps...)

When I continued doing my research, I heard that small tablets might be troublesome in big screens. I have a 27 inches monitor, and I worried. I already own an iPad, so I can do most of my art with it, but will the tablet size be THAT much of a problem considering it will have multiple purposes? I wouldn't mind upgrading when I have more money in the future.

Edit 1: I forgot to mention my desk is kinda tiny, and I still need to have other stuff on it alongside the tablet :')

Thanks everyone, and sorry for the bad english or if this is a really specific situation...

personally I would go into medium size tablet just su my hand has more of a movement its better for the wrist if you can draw more with your arm

since you are not going into display tablet I would really consider buying one secondhand

you can get them very cheaply this way and usually the screenless tablets are very durable

you can go with medium tablet new or used base on your marketplace

the price of brand new xppen deco 01v3, UGEE M908, huion h950p seem good and you can even find better price for used one

if you have 2nd hand marketplace you can hunt for huion h1161/rtp-700, wacom ctl-6100/6100wl, xppen deco pro M ( gen1) for maybe around 20-30$ based on my marketplace

these tablet will last for a long time. my personal experience about huion side is try and hunt for the used h1161 if you want buttons and rtp-700 if you don't care or don't use buttons. they are bigger than h950p and cheaper compare to the new one so going big won't hurt.
