How often does your gear break?

In the three years I've played osu!, the only thing I've had to replace has been the nib in my stylus due to the usual wear and tear.
I tried to replace the whole stylus out of laziness, but then I realized that the new one had the same problem as my old stylus did when it was new, and kept locking up because I tap at some weird angles a lot of the time. Does that count as having broken my stylus to make it work better ?
I don't know.

... poor quality stuff breaks easily...
in my... well, september 2011 till december, the crappy mouse which came with the hp computer broke, left key n right key don't press properly =/, from january this year till now, i went through 4 pen-heads on the tablet =D, since it keeps rubbing the point away xD!!
(then a bunch of crap from other games... broke keyboard twice (arrow keys busted cause of pressing em too fast...), computer fried once, (cause of keeping a game open to open shop for 4 months...) xD

note of advice...

took me 1.5 years for my tablet to stop working - that was because my dumb classmate started fucking up the pen and throwing it everywhere

Maid of Fire.

Also, never broken anything that's not supposed to be replaced after normal use (like nips, etc.)

I threw my mouse at a wall a few times after I played some maps for like, 3hrs nonstop and still didn't get my FC.

But it's perfectly fine.

I never broke a mouse, keyboard, or tablet while playing osu!, or any other game.
I really wonder how people do it. o:

By no means a pro, but my cheap mouse broke after 6 months of osu (mouse only). Not sure if it broke because of osu, but it probably sped it up anyways.

shouldn't let your classmate f**k your pen ... unless she's female /then nvm

aaaanyways I'm not "top players" but I'm pretty good, at least I like to think I'm awesome... and been tablet player for like 5 or 6 months now, anddd I'm due for a new one. Also gone through three pens... not the pens fault, completely mine, and partly the walls fault....

You're playing osu! wrong.
Or completely right; I can't decide.

I don't think your 'gears' will break from playing unless you hit it out frustration, you spilled liquids on it out of frustration, you just plain break it out of frustration. And well, it will break eventually even though you did nothing of the sort stated above if the quality is CRAP.

my keyboard+tablet is fine after all that

My headphones is naturally breaking though, I use tissues and duct tape to keep it together...it cost 10 dollars and last for 2 year

Am I stupid if I don't know that program? PLEASE TELL ME WHAT IT IS.

Also, none. I haven't broken any gear from 3 years of osu!

But we know how you treat your things, ztrot.

Or rather, what they "accidentally" get into.

I've been using my $25 keyboard heavily since the day I bought it 4 or so years ago. My tablet is still great as well even after 6 years. Only real blemish on it is the cover sheet is a little worn where I do spins in the center but that's the only time the surface and the pen make contact. I haven't broken or worn any of the pen nibs either. It's great. :3
