Never done this when I had direct.
Actually, I do pretty much the opposite. Sometimes, I click at the right of the screen to dl maps, and I'm like "oh heck my supp expired".
Same with linked beatmaps on any chat channel. I click them instinctively, then I remember that my computer has a huge chance of crashing upon minimizing a fullscreen application and I don't have direct anymore.

This exactly.


During breaks I am putting my cursor on circles in the background (works really well with this map http://osu.ppy.sh/s/39412 because there are plenty of circles to choose from).

I check the chat during every single break.

I move my neck around a lot, so much that I have to crack it around afterwards.

I start blinking a lot and shake when I keep a long combo > <
I also slam on my Esc button when I start to rage (roughly 30+ retries)

When I'm doing fairly good, my brain insists that my eyes are dry and I need to start blinking.

When going for a high acc score i catch myself constantly checking my accuracy in the corner, which often sometimes results in me missing the next note. >_>

This so much.

I tend to spin the cursor and/or quickly alternate keys and click in time to the music during breaks. It kind of helps me mentally prepare for the next section~
I've also recently developed a habit of occasionally spinning the cursor while following long sliders... if that makes sense.

Speaking of spinning, I actually press down onto the tablet itself when doing spinners rather than hovering the pen above the pad and using the keyboard like I do for everything else. As a result, I've got a lovely circular mark on the centre of my tablet from where I've worn down the surface thanks to spinners. xD
7H0R
Whenever I'm going for top 25~ scores, if I'm doing well I'll keep looking at my score and accuracy, and sometimes at my combo. I usually miss notes when I start doing this.

Also like a lot of other people, I spin in places with no spinners sometimes.

During breaks I don't go to chat, I usually just right/left click really quickly to keep my fingers moving (even though I don't even use right click. Left Click + X)

Also sometimes when I'm doing really well, I'll try to adjust my hand on my mouse a lot and scratch my fingers that are on my mouse and rub them on the mousepad and just generally fool around with my mouse hand, which usually results in my missing notes, then rage quitting.

Oh my god, me too. This has got to be the thing that frustrates me the most about trying to get better at this game; I have to relearn my tablet positioning every time I play even though I've been using tablet for half a year at this point.

As far as weird habits; I nearly FC songs way above my limit when I play them the first time, and then can't pass them again for several weeks.

I got a lot:

- I blink when I realize myself not blinking often :lol:
- I tap a little tad harder randomly in the middle of the song then it vibrates my desk and my mouse moves :lol:
- When I play a jump map, I tend to not move my mouse a little more than I regularly do.
- If I'm playing Multiplayer, The WHOLE time, I'm nervous.
- During I'm playing I look at the accuracy percentage and score, then I miss :x
- I keep changing my finger placement on my mouse which changes my performance

Biggest:
- I tense my wrist and whole arm when I'm spinning (cuz I suck) and then my fingers on my mouse move and I can't play that well
- I randomly, subconsciously, move my mouse just a tad out of the circle on some random occasions
- I look at the scoreboard, score, accuracy, and combo....During a song :x
_koinuri
Curling up the finger I'm not using so it makes it difficult to use the other one when I suddenly need it.
Using index finger in easy places but switches to middle finger when I need to alternate a lot because of speed.
I play better with video/SB on. I think it helps me memorize the map or something because I suddenly have no clue where the next note will be when I turn them off.

And all the common ones that I'm pretty sure someone else mentioned.
Lust
When outside of my house on my laptop I find myself using the touchpad instead of using an actual mouse even though if one is available.

; _;

Also:
-doing unusual spins during breaks (making sure if there are incoming spinner)
kiteku
=Moving too fast on slow sliders even if I know they will be slow
=Going through most of a song and missing a note right at the end, which happens a lot more often than I thought
=Not using mods(probably not weird, but I do contradict myself, I want to aim for high ranks but I refuse to use mods, just can't stand using them)
=I never play a song more than once in a row, though coming back a couple songs later is fine, I just feel like I start missing more and more notes the more times I play a song in a row, this leads to me taking a while to beat some songs because I only come back to try every once in a while
=Only playing songs in my skill level(I guess this also isn't weird, but it's weird for me, I used to play songs above my skill level but now I just can't ever get my hands to feel comfortable, it feels like I have no control over the mouse at all)
=Using osu! as my music player, instead of other media players I just turn on osu! and let it do its thing. Besides, I seem to have trouble finding any of the music I want to listen to that I can easily find on osu!

Axelyte
When I see a long stream I keep z/x'ing like mad and cause myself to hit the keys to early :S
Xhinryuu
Taking unnessecary turns with my pen on the tablet which makes it harder to hit notes and makes me miss a lot more, Mostly doing it when just derping on easier songs but still it's annoying xD
Ledemaz
When I somehow have my fingers on the zx keys to ready for spa,m ( i play with mouse only usually), during harder maps when i have to keep calm, I get this burning urge to press the buttons, which usually distracts me enough to miss xD
Narufable
Pressing z,x when music is not playing, get fingers stucked and *ked and leave the osu! open all the day 8D
Seadweller_old
I tend to blink a lot or hold my breath a lot throughout a difficult part of a song that I can't get. Or I unfocus my eyes for some reason. Also, my z pressing arm tends to get all stiff and it's difficult to move with the beat .
hinamizawan
I for no reason never put the damn tablet right next to the keyboard, but farther from the mousemat. Making my right arm extend too much and being uncomfortable.
Asx-H
In multiplayer I always tend to look down at what place I am in and end up missing something. Also I can't play with the scoreboard on the left hand side for the same reason.
loldcraft
for PC and especially for osu!droid: spin an invisible spinner while waiting (either for it to load or for the breaks)
winber1
i have a annoying tendency to suck at this game
Winshley
Plushies
I like to change my pen grip on every break, it sucks because I usually end up holding it so loosely it feels like it will fall out of my hand any second.
TakuMii
I have a tendency to change the angle of my wrist while I'm playing, causing my mouse to rotate slightly. This causes my mouse to drift away from its starting position as I play, making it more difficult to play long songs without breaks. It's not much of a bother after getting a mouse with no acceleration though, my DeathAdder would actually fall off my mousepad if I didn't re-adjust during breaks (which is unbelievable, considering my mousepad measures 45cm across).
Prancer
I mute osu! in deathstreams so that way I can hear the mouse clicking and I can go through it better.

Close my left hand (the keyboard one) while playing.
Phantasyy
I click repetitively when I'm spinning even though I have the keyboard key pressed down ;o
+ when I spin with my mouse my middle finger hovers in the air
bentyhunter
I have to have my tablet arm (i'm ambidextrous i sometimes play lefty) bent ever so slightly with my elbow raised and resting on something, Otherwise i can't be comfortable :S
Zalaria
During breaks, I find myself constantly tapping z and x to the beat of the song. And when I get close to fullcombo-ing a song, my hands shake and I end up missing a note 99% of the time. >.<

And sometimes I spin my mouse when there's no spinner lol ^^
Agnes
I have a very awkward habit to play osu! by only tapping the Z key for every map. No idea why, but I cannot alternate z/x keys with only one hand. If I reach a rather challenging stream within a map, I just refer to mouse click/z, but at random times, I tend to attempt to z-tap those as well.
AnceriI Sacred
everytime is start a map i keep pressing space though there is nothing to skip
Itoshira
I have like 2 habits that change if one cant be done. Foremost I drink a lot while playing osu if there are a lot of pauses. Sometimes I mess up the timing and...yea, I fail hard XD
If I'm not drinking then I'm smoking right now and in the end...it sometimes happens too that I mess up the timing of the pause ^^

Others then that I have a habit of rearrange my keyboard and mouse a lot.
YouCMe
I use my tongue to metronome when i was doing streams.really weird huh.

acrox999
I'd tap my feet according to the rhythm, which is a good thing.

The bad thing is that I'll tap them real fast and hard when I get nervous and even my mouse are shaking because of that.

This. But in my case my feet gets tired easily and...voila! A miss :x
Story_old_1
Whenever I have a high combo with high accuracy I tend to get nervous and misread alot more or get alot more 100s
yushe101
Durring breaks I'll quickly alternate between the X and Z to do something. If I don't do that, I feel I miss the starter more.

on breaks i always click F9 and check who are online
Setsuen
I alternate between Z and X key when I play but when there are 3-4consecutive hit circles spaced apart, I use either X/Z to hit ALL 3-4Hit circles between switching back

Glad I'm not the only one. I never have plans to speaking/chatting with anyone generally, but I still get curious of those who are online (specifically friends).

i don't get anime beatmaps
i don't know why
Caionix1313
At a break I like to move my cursor to the 4 corners and then randomly click on anime characters' body parts.
JokerFate
pressing esc at almost every break
buny
missing the first beat of a combo/pattern

i think i just focus too much on the pattern itself and realise my cursor is not even on the first note...
Rinko
Getting nervous when about to finish a song with a full chain, so end up missing or bad accuracy at end.
Will3x_old
spinning my cursur when expecting a spinner.. *suddenly more circles/sliders appear*
then either barely make it or miss ;_;
Summer
I have a few... One is that I slowly tilt my head to the left while playing until I realize that I'm doing it and fix it, if it's a longer song it could happen again :p

Edit: spelling
chox_old
i often quit songs when there's break ._.
Avner
Pressing stream after slider with the same key used for slider (K2 - K2 - K1)

Mamoru Senpai
Holding my breath, when it's getting hard on a map. Also letting my mouth open while doing huge jumps. I don't why, but I can keep being concentrated then. >:o

Also this. Getting pretty nervous, when it's going to a FC. ;/
Soarezi
I start blinking more without a reason probably out of nervousness, ending up on retarded misses :l
Arvess
For some reason, I can't play well with my keyboard and tablet in line with my hands.
So I always rotate them 20 degrees to the right when playing...

Whenever I start thinking that I'm going to become tired, I immediately become tired and my tapping fingers just freeze in place.
sewe21
I sometimes get super determined to FC a beatmap and i won't stop playing until I've succeded. Banchobot tracked the amount of retries I did on "Uchida Maaya - Gimme Revolution!" and it got up to 1700.
Xayne
I tilt my head forward, and during really hard songs I will sometimes slightly open my mouth. It's weird.
-sev
I don't do it anymore, but my eyes used to close when I was doing spinners.

Also I used to tilt my head slightly to the left when I was playing sometimes. Stopped that too.
Nyxa
missing notes

I singletap with each individual finger, and also alternate. The finger I singletap with is decided by the finger I last landed on after a stream or alternating section. I only alternate to keep stamina, or to do really fast singletap patterns (like 250-260bpm or higher), as well as some jump patterns since that takes some of the strain off of my tapping hand allowing me to focus more on aiming.

I also lean in when I'm trying to spin fast, and for some reason there are some specific patterns that I can't play without cursor dancing. As in, if I go in a straight line I fuck them up somehow, but when I cursordance I do fine. Still don't get why this is, and it's only with like 3 or 4 patterns I've ever seen.
crud41
Eyes get dried up from not blinking, causing me to mess up my maps time to time.
Woobowiz
I full alternate on sliders and stream kick sliders, it flows better in my brain that way.
GhostFrog
I normally alternate (badly on everything). On rare occasions, when I get frustrated enough with the start of a map that I think I should be able to FC, I'll try to singletap it. I can't singletap for shit but sometimes it gets me through the start of the map so I can break combo immediately after from my terrible singletapping. If that doesn't work, I'll turn on DT or FL for 1 or 2 attempts and feel demoralized when I fail really quickly.

This. Didn't know i do this until my buddies noticed it at LAN while i playing another game and since that i've been finding myself doing this once in a while. Really weird.
Nakano Itsuki
Weird habits...

Always tilting my body to the right while playing. Not sure if it's a bone issue.
And... always fucking up my pen hand stability and broke combos around 100x before the song ends. T_T
E m i
1. I snap as fast as I can, putting speed above aim
2. Sometimes I just play with relax but tap anyways, pretending that it's my clicks causing the hits and that my hand synchronization is good.
