Well I'm sick of seeing the exact same advice posted over and over.
Add a note about playing with both hands, using one hand for one key on the keyboard and clicking with the mouse or tablet with the other hand.

The fact this thread is helpful took backseat to the fact this isn't a hard fucking game. But I guess some things are a little less known so I decided to just state what I could think up for the moment and wait for community responses to fill in the blanks.(Although I'm angry I forgot about mouse acceleration) The same answers(or should I say Similar answers, since you're a cunt who has to be 100% politically correct), are all that are needed to address the threads.
So why sit as people post the same exact shit over and over.

Turn off "Enhance Pointer Precision"Wut? If I do that, I reaaaaaally suck. Can't play with that off.

It helps you in the long run.
Trust me, I don't know a single person in any FPS team I've been in that still uses it.
It's going to take you a day or two to get used to it being off, maybe fiddle with your sensitivity a bit too.
Seriously with mouse acceleration on not only do you have to have good hand eye coordination you have to be used to different speeds moving your cursor different distances.

While I trust that you are right, I don't think I'll change it. Jumps are usually not a big problem for me, and I am ranked in the top 100 players which takes some skill, I think I'm too used to it now to change it.lukewarmholiday wrote:

This isn't and end all for sure, you can be good rubbing a mouse against the side of your tower.

i play with mouse accel, i've got quite a balance. streams are usually slow mouse movement while jumps needs a fast movement. idk im just used to it now. i tried once without mouse acc but i was so bad with it lol, but yea it's true that mouse movement is pretty unpredictable sometimes with acc.strager wrote:
Disclaimed for the OP:
Your milage may vary.
I know no other somewhat serious gamer who has mouse accel enabled. It hinders me greatly, as movements of the cursor is less predictable.

yeah you can be used to it and play fine. But when telling noobs what input style I think we can agree to suggest the one where you don't have to adjust to mouse placement AND speed.

I disagree, having mouse acceleration turned off definitely is superior.Lucidity wrote:
If they're used to having it turned on in Windows then they'll have more problems if they turn it off for osu. Neither setting is superior. It's completely about what you're used to.
My reasons:
1. The erroneous calculation when mouse acceleration is turned on:
At a certain offset the cursor speed will be multiplied softwarematicly, making it skip pixels.
Also mouse acceleration is calculated over delta-x and delta-y separately. This would lead to much error to the directional vector.
2. While you would be able to predict what speed you have to move the mouse when taking account the offset,
you definitely would have problems when the required speed to follow a slider is near your mouse acceleration offset, making your cursor movements very unpredictable.
3. When it's turned off you will be able to store movements in all ranges to muscle memory because of the linearity.
I dunno if the osu! setting works differently, but I'm assuming it's the same as Windows..gopice wrote:

2. I can't comment on that as I don't use mouse accel anymore, but you're assuming that there is a very large step function in play here instead of a smooth progression? I'm not sure that that is true and I never had any problems tracking players in FPS games when I used mouse accel.
3. Of course this applies to mouse accel turned on as well. I played FPS games at a high level for 2 years with this setting enabled. Believe me when I say that it can be committed to muscle memory '-' (And it makes those flick shots oh so sexy? ;p)

IT IS A FUCKING JOKE IF YOU USE MOUSE ACCELERATION IN FPS LEAGUES, PEOPLE WILL LAUGH AT YOU. IT'S THAT BAD. DON'T BLINDLY SAY IT DOESN'T MATTER.
Osu! doesn't require pinpoint accuracy most of the time so you can skate with it off. But honestly it doesn't take too long to adjust than you think. If you're just starting out, TURN IT OFF.

My mistake, since the coming of windows XP acceleration is no longer based on one acceleration offset and is smoothly interpolated between multiple points.
Also with the new algorithm the directional vector error is heavily minimised.
(that means point 1.2 and 2 no longer stands)
I still stand on point 3 though, like I said you cant learn to memorize at multiple speeds on all ranges where you could with mouse acceleration off.
Also new mice are capable of responding to a high speed range, it would be wasteful not to use it.
That's why I would heavily recommend turning mouse acceleration off if you have a good mouse and not have a lot of prior experience with fps games.

Anyway, you're missing the point. If you're used to having it enabled then when you start osu and turn it off you'll only make it harder to aim ... Do you really want to make the game harder for a beginner? And mouse accel won't affect shit when you start playing insane maps so yeah ... It's really personal pref ...

Because forums are a horrible way of getting information from people who play FPS games daily and all unanimously agree that mouse acceleration is a hindrance. We must get our information from microsoft or logitech about mouse acceleration and its effects on fps gamers. THE PEOPLE WHO PLAY FPS'S RELIGIOUSLY, WHO VISIT THOSE FORUMS, ALL AGREE YOU CANNOT EVEN THINK OF PLAYING FPS'S LIKE QUAKE 3/QUAKE LIVE WITH MOUSE ACCELERATION ON. THE ONES THAT DO USE MOUSE ACCELERATION USUALLY ADMIT IT'S HARDER TO LEARN AND GET USED TO.Lucidity wrote:

This is what you're trying to argue.
Is it harder to learn more? or is it harder to learn less?
When telling a noob what to do, and this is assuming he's not very skilled and isn't used to many jumpmaps and the like. We will tell him to take the route where he has to learn less.
Now like I said, if you're top 200 or so. Keep it on. osu! doesn't require pinpoint accuracy. But you're seriously overestimating how long it takes to adjust to a new mouse sensitivity/settings. I pick up new mouse sensitivities in a day. When he's a noob and already sucks, THIS IS WHEN WE WANT HIM TO CHANGE, BEFORE HE'S USED TO GOD FORSAKEN MOUSE ACCELERATION.
Though I'm not one to usually hop in here, I will say that when I first turned off mouse acceleration in osu!, my skill level jumped a lot. (Also: Default Microsoft mice that come with the computer.)
I play with normal mouse speed in windows and 1.3x in osu!, granted I'm not the best player, but I think I play pretty well.
Of course, like luke said... if you're already playing with it on and have been for a long time, you don't have to try to change it. However, changing MAY be able to get you even better at osu! after some practice.
Then again, it may not. that's why you experiment.

I still wanted to add that DPI is not the only spec of a mouse (I don't use the term CPI because it makes people think that every count gets reported directly, as the reporting is actually based on the polling rate).
What is often overlooked is the max. speed the mouse is capable of, as at a certain speed offset the cursor will not accelerate with the speed of the mouse, or even de-accelerate. This is crucial for people who play with low sensitivity! (and don't use mouse acceleration HAR HAR).
Speeds tested for the deathadder and mx518.
And a table for comparison: http://esreality.hexus.net/?a=longpost& ... 293&page=5

I love jumps and I'm already pretty good at them, but switching Mouse Acceleration off and turning the mouse sensitivity on Windows to default (6th notch/tick) and on osu! 3.5x, and practicing and getting used to it for a whole day, I actually got a lot better more than ever, I managed to actually pass Crazy Motorcycle Chase on Crazy with a C, S'ing Crazy Loop on Hard, passing Red Zone on Extra and passing Shanghai Teahouse on Lunatic, which I really couldn't do before. I also managed to FC a lot of Alace's jumpy maps and also improved my skills on streams too surprisingly since I can control my mouse better since I'm not skipping notes when doing streams.

Yes rhythm and hitcircles dictates where and when you have to move.
The Hardest part is to make your mouse cursor keep up.
Well to be honest lukewarmholiday, I haven't seen you playing any Jump/Large Spacing beatmaps ever, so your comments are without merit. If you restrict yourself to easy maps, then of course you won't need incredible aim.

I'm pretty good at jumps now (but most of the time I can't click to keep up so I perform much better on relax =[).

Oh, masters of osu! Help me!
What is the most efficient way of improving mouse control? I took mouse acceleration off and I feel like its more comfortable playing without it. So that helped a bit.
But I still keep missing randomly and thats why I am asking. Whats weird in it, is that I keep missing in easy parts, preventing me from fceing songs anymore.

Play maps by James. His shorter BeForU maps are pretty good for practicing medium spacing.Mukku wrote:

i say.. having a certain kind of gaming mouse actually helps when playing osu. i use the razer salmosa mouse and i noticed that when i use 1000hz of polling rate the delay when the mouse move reduces a lot. (that is because i have a slow pc)
anyways other thing is that try to practice the jumps and closeup notes (take kanbu for example) those notes are quite hard to master because its too close even if its in a easier difficulty.
finally : practice makes perfect

That will only make your movements fluid, if it affects anything at all, and won't really help otherwise. 250 Hz > 60 Hz (osu! input poll rate???).
If you actually compared polling rates using the same mouse, YMMV. However, if you're comparing a generic Dell mouse to a gamer-grade mouse, shame on you (unless the latter is really that bad or the former really that good, of course).
Hmm. I've been playing osu! with a cheap crappy mouse for over a year (the same one. never had to replace it) and I've been just fine.
It does matter if the mouse fits your hand and your playing style.
Woohoo! I got my first ranking in a 100+ BPM map after like... 60 retries. Rank #4 on Taiko no Tatsujin - Kumo Made Todoke! [TaikOsu-Muzukashii]
I guess I could call that a milestone. Slowly getting a better a bit at a time.

Turn off mouse acceleration.(google it, even if you suck right when you turn it off it doesn't matter. it's like changing sensitivity, just get used to it. It should only take a day at most.)
Seriously though, I was so frustrated with Osu! because my mouse kept moving out of my pad range that I resorted to buying a new mouse and pad completely. I had no idea that my poor mouse and pad weren't even guilty. Just because of that one little option in the control panel I wasted about 80$ on "gaming" mouse and pad. Well, just wanted to suggest you put that somewhere more obvious, so idiots like me don't do ridiculous things like I did.
I recommend to use the in-game hotkeys if you feel uncomfortable with the timing.lukewarmholiday wrote:
Offsets
Fix your universal offset, done right you will probably notice a lot less 100s.
If you want to go for acc, get a timing ear for adjusting individual offsets to what you like.
Set the offset-hotkeys right next to your playing buttons. Use the extra buttons on gaming mice.

As with streams and other things, it sometimes helps to relax. Being tense can cause problems.
Try getting up to at least 320 RPM consistently (i.e. not "on a good day"). Then, try spinning in the other direction.
@lukewarmholiday: I've been playing FPS's for about 4 years now, and I've had no issue with the mouse acceleration option. I think you need to calm down just a little bit. I mean, it was started as a noobie guide, not a nazi camp. I've been playing Taiko mode mostly, cause I'm not gonna touch Osu mode until I can get my tablet.
SOME TIPS FOR TAIKO MODE!:
1: watch some of the replays first to get an ear for the beat.
2: Just cause they're big, doesn't mean you have to mash both keys.
3: sometimes alternating between sides on your drum (like, mine are G H for left and right don(center), and T Y for left and right kat(rim), can mess your timing up. Try tapping on one side for a little and see if it helps.
4: just as musicians tap a foot or bob a head to the beat to help them keep rhythm and time, Try this as well! It helps me with EVERY music game I play (beatmaniaIIDX, Taiko no Tatsujin, DDR, Guitar Hero, GFDM, Pop'n music, etc.)
5: BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE TRACK! listen to it a few times before attempting it! so you'll get a feel for how the track flows!
hope my tips helped someone :3

Learning more, opposed to learning less, that's all fucking mouse acceleration is. I am sorry. It also completely fucks your ability to do spinners past a certain point.
Added your Taiko mode tips.
Added your Taiko mode tips.
eh? mouse acceleration is awesome for spinning. if it's a short spinner you can control your mouse and spin close to the center, or you can just go all out and spin fast as fuck if it's a long spinner.
Go all-out until the spinner's approach circle starts shrinking too close to the center, then start minimizing your mouse movement. When you get better with mouse control/mouse acceleration, just do fast smaller spins.Cheeselo wrote:

Im not sure that mouse accel does well for spinning close to the center. It probably helps out a ton if you thrash spinners with big circles though.Gabi wrote:

To be honest though, new players should start out with mouse accel off, since it helps out more in the long run.
Mouse acceleration is a pain, because everytime the same movement gets to a different result.
Everytime i suggested players to turn it off, they improved instantly. I ask myself why did they even bother adding such a weird to use feature as default <.<
Anyway, great list of tips, good job luke

While I believe it's more convenient for me to have a high sensitivity as I don't have to move my hand as much, but it usually means it's less accurate, right?

Actually, you're not playing with 1800DPI. You have the base DPI set to 1800 and the sensitivity lowers it by 65%... You are actually using 630 DPI. Congratulations, you're a low DPI user! I'd like to add that you could get better resolution out of the sensor, probably, if you were to go down to 900 DPI and lower it to around 630 from that.

Hah, yeah. I noticed that. Why not go all the way and set the polling to 1000?
630 is pretty low, heh, unless your resolution is really small.

I'm sure it feels like that for some people. Especially if you're very used to it. I'm going to go ahead and assume you don't have any acceleration and leave that bit out.
