Hey everyone,
First off hello, because I'm new to the forum (first post! woo!)
As a player who doesn't have a desktop, tablet nor comfortable mouse to use at home, I've become used to using my laptop trackpad. My osu!-playing friends sometimes laugh (not in a mean way, just jokingly) about my using such a strange device (I don't think anyone else I know uses one, everyone I know uses mouse except for maybe one or two tablet).
For me it's been quite good for easier maps, but on harder ones especially the ones where I have to move around a lot, accurately, I'm a bit worse at those. I think I'm better at easier maps, with mods, than on harder ones because I can't really move fast enough to hit stuff. Now of course one factor is that I'm fairly new to the osu! scene, and I don't play all that much (6 months since I started, almost 3k plays, rank ~120k), and that does mean that my timing accuracy isn't too great. That being said, I have 2 top 50s (http://osu.ppy.sh/b/80335 and http://osu.ppy.sh/b/75923) and a few scattered SS/SSHs but nothing special. In case anyone's curious, I use 1.4x sensitivity. I'm able to hit fast shapes/single notes sometimes, and sometimes not, but spinners are generally hard (I'm barely able to hit low 300s, and fast or long spinners I can't do as I don't have the sheer speed/finger perseverance to do them).
Anyway, that's enough about me (do I talk too much?) I was wondering, are there any other players here who regularly use trackpad, and if so what techniques or advice would you give (apart from practise)?
