My main reason to switch to tablet was not due to it's "overpowerdness" but simply because I killed 2 mouse (mice, don't know) while playing osu! and since I don't want to spend more money and keep a good mouse, tablet was a pretty good alternative and since then I can observe getting better in some aspects of the game AND I did become worse in others. From my point of view I wouldn't call a tablet a "wonder-tool" for osu! like a controller for a fighting game.

But that is just my point of view and I couldn't see any ultra improvement like I see on others like Cookiezi or WhiteWolf to become from 0 up to 100 in no time.

P.S. I was shocked when the first fps game was released on a console long ago, from that moment fps died as a competitive genre and the whole technology and game developing became to degrade more and more (Crysis showed what a PC truly can compared to anything else and that was years ago).

I actually bought a bamboo cl460, i used it and actually havnt got used it and switched back to mouse, i noticed it would be better to stay mouse for me as i have used it for over 7+ years and still play other game with mouse and it seems too hard to get used to the tablet (especially holding the pen).

i use tablet cause i happen to have one when i started playing osu...so yea...i use tablet...

its all personal preference. if you use mouse you gradually get used to it and if you use tablet you just get used to it. the more you use it the better you get at it. :)

I had to practice a few days with a mouse to catch up to the level of skill I was after 8 months of tablet playing.

Play with a mouse. It really is hard to play with, especially for the harder/insane maps(obviously)
Never tried a tablet before, but I will buy one soon when I get the money. Just to see how good I can be with a tablet, not just with a mouse.

It's harder to play with tablet if it's your first time using it. Some people even ended up going back to mouse. The others keep it.

It's next to impossible to do long streams using a touchscreen though. Unless you can tap your screen really, really fast.

JUST switched to tablet after 2 years of mouse (had big tax return check so i was like fuck it)

Main differences:

1. Spinning is 10000000000000000x easier. I spin like a god instantly, tho I wasn't bad with a mouse, you just have way more control with tab.

2. It's more fun, hovering the pen above the little pad is fun I don't know why

3. Hitting small notes is easier.

4. Streaming was easier with the mouse, tho im sure that will change.

The same day I bought it I improved a few of my SS's, in a couple weeks im sure the improvement will be drastic if I keep practicing.

what in the world has that got to do with the heroic battle between mouse and tablet?
And no. You can play osu!stream, though.

What's with all the 1-posting derps around?

I think he was just thinking he could use his Ipad as a tablet PC monitor for osu. There is probably a jailbroken mod with it, but your not supposed to jailbreak it so yea.

A manufacturer has no right telling you what you can and can't do with your device.
Disregard if you were just warning they could be blocked/disconnected, etc. Because they have the ability to do that although they shouldn't be able to.

JUST got a tablet after maybe a year of mouse + x/y from keyboard. Spent about 1 day getting used to it and tuning it my comfort zone. All I gotta say is, imo it's easier than mouse. I set up a small zone on it so my cursor moves quickly as if on high sensitivity, then I just treat it like a mouse but in pen form. The only reason I switched was because for songs with 750+ notes I always somehow seem to run out of room with my mouse and then I mess up because I don't get time to adjust it back into place on insane + higher skill lvl songs, but not at all with this tablet, it's awesome. Oh and spinning is hella easier, I'm a wide spinner with a mouse and can do over 400 pretty easily i just have to use hella arm force so it gets tiring, but for this tablet i just draw little quick O's around the middle which woul be hard as hell to do with a mouse, but easy with a tablet ^.^

*Edit* It has now been 2 days, I've went back to songs I've gotten A's on, and S'ed them if not double Ss'ed HELL i've even silver double ss a 5 star song on hidden which i didn't try before with a mouse. Besides the earlier things I stated, I'd say the biggest improvement I've seen using the tablet, is how much smoother my cursor flows, I overjump notes little to never now and it's sooooo much smoother.

On a side note, I'm a little scared, it's been about 2 days now and the portion i downsized my screen to for the tablet has already been scratched off a bit because i drag the pen rather than hover, i only pick up and hover to jump, though dragging us just as easy without hover.
