Area of your Bamboo tablet.

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?
new PC = new area
I got used to it in 5 mins

I got tablet 5 month ago, and started with small area.
But then i slowly changed it to full.
Now i`m playing with full area on 24 monitor 1920x1080. Osu - 1366x768

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.
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:
I found it to be pointless for shrinking the area on my tablet for the following reasons:
- My hands are massive as it is so I've never had a problem with not being able to reach each corner.
- 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.
- I use it frequently for Photoshop so I gradually got rid of the notion of needing a smaller area.
- It would be pointless having all of that size available and not using over 50% of it.
- 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.
- General plug and play for if I'm ever at a place that isn't my own desktop set up.
Few months ago

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

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.

I find it funny that I tell people to play with full area, even though I can't play with it myself because my hand is retardedVmx wrote:

Forces your tablet area to the proportions of your screen (If you have a square screen then the area you choose will be square, widescreen the area will be widescreen.)Goronica wrote:

No way, I never have to move my arm, I've tried full before and I just prefer it smaller. Jumps don't exist anymore!JAKACHAN wrote:

I can't say that I'm a top tier player, but it has been working for me.
How do you do with the fast note snapping in http://osu.ppy.sh/b/47152? I also play on a pretty small active area aswell (not as small as yours) and it's those kinds of beats you must snap to that wreck me :\Cifica wrote:

I got used to the hand/wrist movement (maybe that's bad), but practice makes perfect!FruitTingles wrote:

I just got my tablet a few days ago, and thought the full area tablet surface was ridiculous and immediately started trying to figure out how to get the tiny box. I started realizing that small circles were going to be a problem and that it was already kinda hard on my wrist for the tiny movements. It felt just like mouse, which can get kind of erratic and guessy at times. I changed it to full area, and even though I'm still beyond horrible now compared to where I was at with mouse, I can start to tell a difference as to why full is better. It feels like I am going to eventually have way more control and precision once I put more hours in. I can no longer play osu! with mouse even after just two days of playing with full area tablet. The sensitivity on my mouse just feels astronomical, and I miss notes by 2-3 inches on my screen. If you really want to try and improve, I recommend going with the full area like others are preaching here. If you play at full for a few days and go back to the tiny box, you will realize how limited you feel in what you can accomplish.
I just wish this damn pen was easier to hold XD
Anyone have a good grip technique for it? It feels kinda awkward and I can't make up my mind on how to hold it.

I just got my tablet yesterday and I tried some different settings and I don't get why you wouldn't use your full tablet. Maybe if you have a very big one it can be a problem.
Full tablet ftw
I do have a small tablet

I do have a small tabletFull tablet area is very awesome indeed
I play this area with my wrist fixed, no lifting up or any hand movements. Only fingers and angle usage :3
Would have played full area if I could reach upleft\upright corners more freely.

So again, why would full area be more beneficial (for anyone other than people trying to fast track it to a sore arm)?
Because if you can be just as accurate with a smaller area, there really isn't any point to using a larger one?

Also, larger area gives better feedback of your movements, more accurate snapping on small notes and overall more fun and actually less wrist breaking (less grip pressure, more relaxed wrist, NO PAIN!)
Small area doesn't make jumps easier it's a myth, and not really faster enough so it would count for Osu gameplay compared to meduim\full areas in a long run.
I can totally vouch for this, I really wish I started with a full area. I tried switching a few weeks ago but found it really hard with the 10,000+ PC I already have with the small area. Start full before it's too late!Ami Furi Koneko wrote:

I have a history of carpal and RSI, and when i switched to the tiny box area, I quickly started feeling the sharp pains in my wrist. With full tablet surface, I feel very comfortable and even browse desktop with the tablet pen now whenever I can. I can also vouch for better registry as well. I quite like it.FruitTingles wrote:

uhh... really? I honestly can't agree with the wrist statements. Perhaps it depends on the person, but I've tried using full area or a larger area than what I used to have, and it has been so much more tiring for my wrist, since I have to use it a lot more. And if I try to use my arm instead, that gets quite tiring. With my small area, I have pretty much absolutely no problem playing for hours. The only problem is my left hand failing at streaming. And secondly, larger areas being more fun is completely subjective. It doesn't really make much sense to me anyways, but ok.Ami Furi Koneko wrote:

Though I will admit that you probably will have more control once you are used to it.
Still, I like my smaller area a lot better
Honestly if your arm is getting tired playing osu! no matter what the map then you have some serious physical problems and you really need to go outside and do something other than playing games.winber1 wrote:

pump dat iron brah
I'm actually pretty decently fit.
I also play piano competitively, does that make any difference? idk, but I use both my arms and wrist a lot.
Anyways, that was more of a comparative statement. It's more tiring then if I just use my fingers and my wrist. I could essentially say the same thing to you guys about your wrists. I honestly don't find it tiring to use my wrist.
Edit: adding on... when using my small tablet area my wrist barely moves, it's mostly my fingers (my pinky and my ring finger are placed firmly on the tablet). I don't really know if that makes a huge difference or if other people do that as well.

After 10k playcount with tablet, it finally begins
Full, I don't forced porportions either, that makes jumping harder, and more harder to be accurate.
mfw no forced proportions.
15" 1024x768, 22" 1680x1050
osu was 1280x960
I've been using a tablet for about a day and so far I think I like this setup the most since since I think I'm going to use pen input instead of mouse for most stuff. If I did switch to low res osu I would probably switch over to mouse mode with full speed and acceleration off.
edit: holy balls this is painful.
edit2: getting used to tablet but I've changed setup to
osu is back to 1024x768

I thought mine was pretty standard but looking around it's pretty different.
Used to be Full Area 1440x900 but now I'm Full Area 1920x1080.

This is mapped directly to my osu! window.
So I am playing at the largest area possible.
