True, mouse only is as good as the other play styles. If you're up to the challenge that isjesus1412 wrote:

I slanted the other mouse diagonally by placing it between keyboard tip (just below the spacebar) and the table. This is so that the mouse will stay lifted while you can freely mash the clicks. To prevent the mouse from moving and keeping steady, it's recommended to use any form of rubber base (e.g: mousepad).
You can also try putting non-transparent adhesive tape (e.g: insulating tape) and stick it to the optical area.
While I haven't tried this and unsure whether this works, another method would be to remove the optical lens from the mouse, which requires disassembling it.
I only provide examples...BRBP wrote:
What?
You can just cut a small piece of any (even transparent) tape and cover the lens. Why are you making something this simple so difficult?

Please explain to me how you can be so sure that playing 3 months with very high sensitivity and then lowering it is better than playing 3 months with low sensitivity.

If your accuracy with the mouse is not good try to get used to play with high (very high) sensibility and when you can do the beatmaps in hard (like this one http://osu.ppy.sh/s/24473) and then change again to lower sensibility. It worked for me.

that's some hard aqo-logic right here.silmarilen wrote:

I actually wanted to learn on streaming with that alternating method. I always had trouble with that because I tend to press both clicks at the same time.Oinari-sama wrote:
Instead of using 1 mouse for pure clicking and 1 for movement, I was using 1 button from each mouse so I can alternate with both hands (while the right hand mouse still controls movement at the same time). This reminds me of drumming... quite addictive actually
I find that alternating streaming quite easy to do (if I may say so on my first day). However all the "normal" stuff like triplets and 5s has become a pain in the *** if the spacing is huge. It's so ambiguous, that if I rely on one hand only (for being not used to it) I'll get 100/50, or just plain miss if I 2-mice alternate (due to friction differentials). It might take some time to get used to alternating (accurately) with left hand mouse.Winshley wrote:

I had to admit that streaming with mouse feels a lot better than with rubber dome keyboard. It could be just me tho.
Coincidentally, I don't know how to ride a bike but am planning to learn how to do it this summer for that exact reason. Easily one of the best comparisons I've seen on osu! (though this isn't really saying much).Wishy wrote:

increasing dpi makes the spinradius wider, but the physical speed (and thus the SPM-count ingame) is the same.buny wrote:
increasing dpi does not increase spin speed
if you think for 2 seconds you'd find the reason why.
No it doesn't. There is no perfect sensor on the planet that can produce perfect 1:1 response, the errors are in the region of ~0.5% for both angles and distances at those angles. There is always error, which is the nature of optical tracking. Mouse engineers try their best to fix the random deviation, and give you a slightly different, but consistent deviation instead.NarrillNezzurh wrote:
I've never really bought into the whole relative/absolute tracking thing; a mouse approximates absolute tracking if you never lift it anyways.
I can see the argument there. I don't really care that much if I'm at a disadvantage because I'll never be or at least it'll be a very long time before I reach the highest level of play. If I wanted to be competitive I'd invest in a good tablet but I can't be bothered to get one for a single game, especially when I'm not playing it competitively. Even still, there's not really much of a disadvantage when you have mouse players at the top level. Compare that to say a gamepad vs a mouse (and yet there's this one guy who actually plays Osu! with a gamepad and doesn't totally suck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0TQ4_9QVzE) which are in entirely different leagues. The mouse might be still at a disadvantage but it's still a very viable tool.silmarilen wrote:
[quote="https://osu.ppy.sh/forum/t/71895":1337] The biggest difference that a tablet has over a mouse is that it features absolute tracking. This means that every point on the tablet corresponds to a particular point on the screen. If you lift the pen outside of the sensitive range, then put it down on another part of the tablet, the cursor will "jump" to that location. This is opposed to mice, which rely on relative tracking.
