Running out of desk space...
Buying a mouse without mouse acceleration...
Hand hurting...
Okay, first if your running out of desk space you almost have to have mouse acceleration on, or you need to increase mouse sensitivity big time.
My mouse currently moves about 1 to 1 1/2 inches to make it to the other side of my screen, and I'm (with practice) able to do large jumps accurately.
Second, mouse acceleration is not an issue with your mouse (although some do have software that can disable mouse acceleration such as the razer ones using Razer Synapse) it is actually an issue with windows, and you can disable this. At this link CLICKMEIMALINK
...rank 0 trying to give advice? :/
Actually, when you turn off mouse acceleration in the settings, you're only turning off software mouse acceleration. 99% of mice have around 5% hardware mouse acceleration, which you can't turn off. The mice that are labelled "no acceleration" actually still have a speed limit (a speed where the mouse glitches or can't track), but it's usually so fast that a normal person probably wouldn't be able to reach unless it they were moving the mouse as fast as humanly possible.
There's only about 7-8 different mice on the market that fit into this 'zero-acceleration' (aka 'flawless sensor') category, and they're all optical and are either old mice (like the IntelliMouse) or are around the range of 3500/4000dpi (like the Logitech G400). These mice are usually around the $40-50 price range and may be a worthy purchase for someone not willing to switch to tablet.
I've been through a normal Microsoft mouse, a Logitech MX300, an Alienware TactX mouse, Razer DeathAdder, and the legendary Microsoft IntelliMouse, and I guarantee that I've turned off any and all mouse acceleration settings on all of the mice (in the Synapse, TactX, Logitech, etc settings), and done several tests (in FPSes, in osu!, in other games, and even in Microsoft Paint) and only the last two mice (and my current mouse) were able to keep zero-acceleration tracking up to their speed limit (although the last two have relatively low max-speeds compared to other zero-acceleration mice, but you'll probably not reach them if you're only playing osu!, aside from the spinners).

And the last common problem I'm seeing is hand hurting, well that means you either play with a claw or fingertip grip when you use a mouse, your hand gets tired faster than a palm grip but you do have much faster movements, you should take a break...I use clawgrip and my hand starts to hurt after an hour or 2 of playing nonstop pretty much. Sooo yeahh, stand up, get some blood back into your ass, make sure your legs are still usable, grab a snack.
Personally, I've been switching grips every time I've switched mice, and I've never had any issues with wrist nor hand pain. Even with my current mouse (which has a really strange shape IMO), I use a clawgrip and can play for hours on end with no issues. I think it just varies depending on the person.

EDIT:: Just disabling mouse acceleration will make it so as long as your not hitting the edge of the screen, your mouse will never be out of position which allows you to find a nice way to hold it comfortably, and if you turn up sensitivity and practice, you'll notice you no longer use 99% of your mouse pad.
(responding to the bolded text): Unless you're already used to using a high sensitivity, this is a bad idea. You will lose a great deal of precision by setting a higher DPI. Even if you already use a higher DPI it's generally recommended to set the lowest DPI you have room for in order to achieve maximum precision, but if your mouse has acceleration you might feel the effects of it a lot stronger. Most mouse players play at around 400 to 1000 DPI, and a full-area tablet is technically 200-300 DPI (but takes up less room because a pen tip is much smaller than a mouse). High DPI is more suited for other games that don't need extremely precise mouse positioning (or games that require tons of movement for long periods of time), and isn't really ideal for osu!.
