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 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.
Full Area o3o
Mapped to fullscreen osu! window.
I used to play full area when I used pen tapping, but after switching to hovering + keyboard only I had to make it smaller.

Full area and forced proportions.
I play on windowed widescreen mode because it looks better than 800x600 in my opinion.

Well, this is mine. I originally tried to be all Cookiezi and play full tablet area, but I got lazy QQ
Moderately large
I've been playing a lot with my area recently, and I think I've settled on (the equivalent to) what I used when I first got my tablet.
Screen area is 1366x768, just like my 11" ultrabook. My window is 1228x768 (16:10) but that doesn't affect gameplay.

You'll want to be using full area, or at least 75% of your tablet. Your 'medium' is too small IMO.Vhoxel wrote:

Yeah, i played some beatmaps switching between full and small area, and i'm actually more confortable with full.Arcanine wrote:

Also, osu's résolution is 800x600.
What do you guys with full area move to get across the tablet (arms/wrist)? I've tried full, but I feel uncomfortable having to move that much, beyond just the fact that I'm not used to it. I'd like to full area sometime though.
A lot of people use their wrist, but personally, I rest the ball of my wrist on the edge of the tablet and use my fingers to move the pen around. It sometimes gets uncomfortable though.pitbull2k4 wrote:

Just upgraded to this from <1/4 of the space used, doing fast star patterns with a tiny area is really rough, but this helps a bit I think
I'm stuck with this. Can't go any smaller/bigger.
1920x1080 screen
1366x768 game window
1229x768 screen area
Everyone uses such tiny areas, must be hard.
Edit: Just noticed YayMii and I have the same but reversed settings, kinda funny.
Impossible to get 16:10 at 768p ;_; (it's 1228.8 for the width so I just rounded up)
I'll probably switch to 1152x720 screen area with 1280x720 game window.
You can get more precise mapping by using the Mouse keys
[ Control Panel\Ease of Access\Ease of Access Center\Make the mouse easier to use ]
First I set the game window to the size I want my tablet to play with (I always use a 16:10 resolution) then I use the mouse keys to get a precise placement. Then I just switch the game to a 16:9 resolution and play on that.
I never change the tablet area. I really wish I had a bigger tablet so I could play on bigger resolutions and match the movements. I find if you're playing with a large resolution the inputs get misplaced because you're not moving the same distance as you are with your tablet.
Please

i think it's easier to play with a small area. well, it's a personal preference

Isn't this area size really hard for you to do jumps on? Not to mention the random slider breaks?
Naturally I can't stand the sensitivity of full tablet area since I'm a high dpi mouse user. (and my screen is small) This area is pretty comfortable for me.
Took me pretty long to practice jumps tho.
For 3 years I used a tiny area and jumps weren't easy to be precise with. Yeah I was moving around quickly, but when tricky patterns came up I had to grip my pen to death to make sure I was precise. I realized playing full tablet just required more use of the arm instead of all fingers. Switching over was difficult at first, but after extensive playing with a full area it's very rewarding. I actually find it more fun too because you can really get into jumps.
I really would advise every play to play full tablet at least for a week to see how they feel about. Reducing the screen are and not the tablet area can make it more comfortable as well (if you're playing windowed that is). Fullscreen you can disabl GPU scaling and then lower the osu! Resolution until you feel comfortable with it.

1366x768 osu! window & 1920x1080 screen
I'm considering a smaller window and using full area since i'm using almost the entire tablet area that force proportions fits to anyways.
I used to have an area similar to Cookiezi's (my old area) and I noticed that my cursor was super-shaky when I played. It may have been my grip, but I noticed that it became much more steady and landing jumps were more reliable when I changed back to the settings that were default on my laptop (the screencap I posted earlier is replicating those settings on my desktop).Dexus wrote:

Osu: Full screen.
I tried Many areas (Including Full and one really small), but this is the one I like the most :3
Force proportions fixes that.Dexus wrote:

Osu resolution is fullscreen. When I play with forced proportions I get input delay, but the area is identical to with it on.
My area:
As you might have guessed, I play fullscreen (borderless).

I used to play in a window, but since I switched to fullscreen I've found it so much easier to move around.
Maybe I should try out the full area sometime.
