I have a modded W7 that has a lot of "gamer" settings already applied. Apparently, according to that page, if you are using a standard W7 OS, you have the mouse acceleration settings applied by default in your registry settings. And therefore cannot change them with conventional means. So you will probably benefit from the program that makes the registry changes.
Yeah, too completely remove mouse acceleration you have to edit the registry. Luckily all you have to do is run a script that someone else made previously.

I'd upload/link to something but I don't want to be responsible for somebody running a registry script :).

Old standard keyboard > slim one
Mouse > tablet
Smallest active area > full area + disabled "force proportions" setting
Usual smooth movement to get all the jumps > snapping to circles

Started spinning with a relaxed grip because I just got pissed at doing spinners in general, then all of a sudden one day I made it over 400 repeatedly. Not sure how so I have started investigating lol.

a shitty mouse to a gaming mouse

A shitty mouse to a decent mouse, a really remarkable improvement. And also moved from mouse only to mouse and keyboard back when I was still playing normals. It makes aiming much more easier.

Switching from mouse only to mouse + keyboard
Switching from mouse to tablet
Using full tablet area instead of a small proportion
Lifting my wrist from the keyboard when doing streams

Final phaze: Full tablet and sliding the pen over the tablet, not hovering.

I can't say it helped me improve though, my hand still doesn't want to move cursor when it should

From what I heared and know, training specific patterns wont help much, since you "must" learn to aim for a single circle rather than a special pattern which will improve your "aiming skill". At least that what helped me in many cases so far.

I made my active area bigger again, changed the way I hold the pen, AND THERE IS NO PAIN ANYMORE YEAH

There are a lot of different ways that I change my playstyle o-o
I always try and experiment with the area that I leave for my arm and mouse pad. o-o Wide range, short, etc.
You should do some mad clicks too. LOL. Just practice clicking? o-o Although x and z would make your life easier.
BeatofIke
Switching from mouse only to mouse + keyboard z/x (Easier to stream)
Switch sensibility from 1.4x to 1.0x (Easier to do jumps)
Practice (Easier to Pass maps)

changed into blackwidow :O

from Mouse+Keyboard to Tablet+Keyboard. All easier

HOW IS EVERYTHING EASIER THAT MAKES NO SENSE

many players forget that they get better in the process of learning how to use the tablet and don't realize they would be just as good if they kept working hard on mouse skills.

Not really i'm pretty sure i hit my skillcap with mouse as i was using my non dominant hand for it.

THE PAIN IS UNBEARABLE if you play way too much and don't take breaks

Setting my mouse polling rate from 150hz to 1000hz

Why should I use high sensitivity to achieve the same thing I can do with low?
High sensitivity just destroys my wrist, with low sensitivity I can adjust the preassure and wearing to my whole arm and shoulder, instead of just a small area of my hand

[Etna] for this map forced me to increase the sensitivity. Since then, it stuck.

that's true, i need a doctor to visit me now, it seriously damaged my arm i'm serious

I got a new mechanical keyboard and it helped a lot on streams. My shitty rubber dome keyboard was so hard to press (it was like 5 years old) but this doesn't take nearly as much effort. Too bad now my rhythm is messed up because of the old keyboard..
senaya
started playing with left hand. it's super effective.

I've used nothing but a mouse since I started a few years back. The fascination with hyper speed/ridiculous stream maps over the past year or so has made me consider doing something different but in the end I decided it just wasn't worth it. I say just keep practicing with whatever is comfortable. Just avoid maps that are going to give you CTS. That's what I do.

I didn't avoid those maps and I've got CTS in my left hand xD

Mouse only big big yeahh!!!

What is CTS anyway

I changed to full screen from windowed. Eliminated all the lag in the cursor movement. Instant huge skillboost. It seems that I've been a way better player than I or anyone else thought.

Started wearing a glove on my left hand.

THE PEN HAS STOPPED SLIPPING IT IS A GLORIOUS DAY

Changed to windowed mode...

Mouse only... but still needs practice on jumps and long streams..

Removed those too-bright-osu-graphics with some transparent pngs, if u know what I mean~~
