I used to use a mouse but I got stiff fingers when using higher sensitivities (higher than 1x @ 800dpi).
So I got a bamboo tablet and use the full area which works out much more comfortable, this is the only particular reason lol, nothing to do with skill (which I don't have).
I am just too used to moving my hand a lot from other games I play.

wee first post. :P

Screen resolution is 1920 x 1080
Area taken by the resolution of 1280 x 960 and then stretched by 1440 x 1080 (for easier aim)
osu!'s window resolution is custom - 1244 x 700
I hate force proportions >_> they are lame

You increased your active area way too fast, you have to do it bit by bit so that you can get used to it

I remember when I switched from smallest to full in 1 day and learned it in a couple of days how to use full. Can depend on other stuff like playing osu! with window or full screen mode, size or the monitor and so on...

he has a different style of holding the pen so it's not a surprise, if you're used to using your wrist or something it takes a while to get used to

I hold the pen like a pencil and use full area as well (With force prop) and I have no problem. Really just takes some time to get used to it took me about a week as well to start doing what I could do before, but now I feel much more confident in my ability to do any type of jump or mod.

I hold the pen like you do, but I don't use my wrist. As I use fullscreen, I can't use my wrist because Im not able to reach the corners of the tablet.

same here

I write small and writing big is impossible for me which is why I chose to use a small active area

also I grip the pen very tight :(

I have to say to everyone who is playing small area that i played small area for almost a year then changed to a medium one and the difference is ridiculous, i got insanely way better with this area i can't even understand why

It sounds like learning to play on both large and small area is what helps out the most, not only that full area is superior (srs?).

i played both (well i didn't play full i'm playing on a medium one) and, even tho i could do really nice stuff with the small area, my improvement with this one is really noticeable, which leads me to the conclusion that a medium area is superior to a small one, atleast from my perspective.

fullscreen in-game same resolution as desktop

Just got the bamboo connect yesterday, was having alot of trouble getting used to it. big areas seem WAY to slow, so i finally settled on this and can play fairly well for 2nd day use.

Maybe ill try expanding the area slowly, fast jumps at this small of an area makes my accuracy lower. Also I hold the pen like I would while normally writing, and I don't touch the pad just hover above it, don't know if thats good or not.

I find it difficult to use a larger area, since somehow, I have to lay my arm down and not move it (this is the total reverse of my mouse playstyle, and it's destroying my wrist.) How does one play with a moving hand and tablet?

Screen resolution: 1920x1200
osu! resolution: 1440x900 windowed

So the advantage to using a smaller area is moving your hand less, or is there also another reason a smaller area is nice aside from that?

Is there any full area players here with a live video by chance, as much as I try to understand I just cannot figure out how to use full area.

What resolution should I be using.

Just use full area i used small area and i was like i got to move my hand allot, now i use full area and it even seems too fast now using full area, if your using a small area and you think your already moving your hands too much then switch to a full area and try it for a few days

I'm no pro but you can watch this live vid I did with full area and large osu res.

Full area on my Wacom bamboo CTH-670 tablet.

I found it to be pointless for shrinking the area on my tablet for the following reasons:
  1. My hands are massive as it is so I've never had a problem with not being able to reach each corner.
  2. The smaller areas didn't provide the kind of pixel accuracy I prefer after being on low dpi mouse only for quite a few number of months.
  3. I use it frequently for Photoshop so I gradually got rid of the notion of needing a smaller area.
  4. It would be pointless having all of that size available and not using over 50% of it.
  5. I use it as a replacement for mouse control over the desktop and general PC use at times so I got used to it from that as well.
  6. General plug and play for if I'm ever at a place that isn't my own desktop set up.
Sure enough osu! itself runs in a 1440 x 900 windowed resolution but I can easily adjust between that and a fullscreen run at 1920 x 1080 just fine.

Well I do play full area now but my full area is about 4-6 bamboo tablets depending on what size you own.

I did do this video awhile ago http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_We1CGh-Wg and that was at 1440x900 (I think), I play on the IPS now which is 1080 no difference. I should try playing with quick point on XD

That seems more counterproductive than productive if you ask me ;-; but depends if you're just playing for fun or not.

It was when I first started using the 12x18, I usually ended up playing at 800x600 windowed which reduced the area to something like 7x5in. But now it really doesn't matter I can play at any size and adjust to it within the first few notes. Each to their own I rather use my whole arm and wrist than just my wrist. I tried it both ways and it really makes no difference to me and since I have the tablet area I might as well use it. When you scale up the area so does the game like a slider my slider space is about the size 50 cent piece which from the GUI setting pics thats about what everyones active area is set to so Its kinda hard to fuck that up XD

Mainly I own this tablet for the sole purpose of utilizing my whole arm to do work than my wrist just like you do on a canvas, Not only that the grip pen exploits this by being thick like a brush. Its a sad shame since wacom discontinued the 12x18 tablets with intuos 4's so I have nothing to look forward to when this old piece dies and its bad enough that OSU eats my pens up.
