Accuracy, higher or lower sensitivity.

Sorry abut this, i didn't want to make it but.
I've tried and tried for 3 days now, but curse whoever told me that mouse acceleration off was better. I'm worse than i was 4 days ago.

i need some tips how to improve my accuracy with it off. With it on i used to know what i was hitting and my mouse used to go where i wanted it to. but i can't go back now. :(

the only thing accel off has helped me with is moving it faster to notes, now i can beat some maps i couldn't before, but still there's no point if i keep missing notes left and right, it's always just off to the side of the note and it misses, and i get the lowest of lowest ranks. Maps i used to be able to easily beat, and all maps in general just put more strain in my arm and it doesn't feel like I'm controlling it any more. don't even get me started on slider breaks, they've up'd 200% since this.
(damn i was gonna get supporter too, but it doesn't feel like im making progress any more)

I'M NOT COMPLAINING, I JUST NEED HALP (because i suck) D:

So should i keep my speed at 1.4 where its more controllable but can't always hit notes especially when jumps. or should i have it at 1.5 where it moves faster and i only need to use my wrist, but it just spazes out at times, but can easily hit more jumping notes??????????

EDIT: thanks guys, i put it on 6/11 & 1.0 i can finally play again (almost, just spinner suck) :o (if you're reading this i love you)

Practice.

If was to bet someone £1000 while i was writing this thread, someone would put practice....well yeah i'd be £1000 richer



I've never heard of that sensitivity. I was asking if it is better higher or lower <3

You should set it to 1.0 and get used to this.

1.0 :D (unless your mouse doesn't have adjustable DPI)

Imo, keep it as low as is comfortable. High sensitivity works out for some people, and I used to be alright with 1800 DPI, but changed it progressively down to 550 and by that point I could use it for HR on most insanes etc. Getting used to accel = off is the biggest step, so it'll take a while to get used to but it really pays off.

i don't know my dpi, probably some £3 mouse, they're usually at 800dpi i think. but yeah I guess i gotta use more than my wrist to move around then.

It's only been four days, expecting to get used to acceleration being off in such a short time can be a bit absurd.

You also can increase the windows speed, mine is 8/11

5600 dpi :D
on a serious note, try not to adjust the sensitivity in osu!

And really, it is just ultimately down to this:

In case OP didn't get it, I was being sarcastic.

Everything is down to practice, if you can't play with this setup - practice, if you can't pass song - practice, if you want to SS song - practice.

The best possible setup is to use 6/11 and 1,0x in osu!, and having good mouse which allows you setting custom DPI.

I don't feel good using 1.0x sensitivity, Instead I'm using 0.8x until now (Because of My mouse had un-adjustable 1000 dpi ). Is it okay? *just asking

personal preference

honestly, there is no "better" unless you're using some absurd DPI
alternate version: if you suck with high dpi, you'll suck with low dpi


if you think you need to change your sensitivity to reach jumps then you need to accept that you'll have to practice in order to get better, and not rely on your peripherals and settings.

Change for comfort, not because you can't reach jumps. Comfort usually goes hand-in-hand with the settings you perform best on. You will be able to reach those jumps one day, just practice.

You're still getting used to no accel. It's better off, getting used to none just takes a while, especially if you've never played without it.

Happened to me too. Happens to everyone who changes something important from their playstyle. The only thing that's 100% sure to make you improve, is practice.

Anyway, you're going to be better off turning your mouse speed/dpi/whatever to a lower level, you'll have much more control. Sure it's harder to reach some notes but you'll get used to it, the rest is skill. It's also helpful to have low dpi when streaming, so your cursor doesn't shake too much.

3400 play count. Please. You haven't even begun yet, lol.

jahjah i know :3 don't worry it's just the answer to everything thats why.....and yeah i am practising (i hope) :lol:

Everyone is saying 6/11 for windows, but no one is explaining why, so maybe someone can explain it to me.
chox_old
if you put it above 6/11 it skips pixels = bad
if you put it below it isn't exact 1:1 = bad but not as bad as putting it above 6
Fagg0t
So in another words if i feel like my mouse is accuratei don't have to change it to 6/11?
Zare
no it means you can't feel how precisely your mouse is actually working.
6/11 is best, really, you should adjust sensitivity ONLY by changing dpi.
nya10
For your information, I use 3/11 and 1.0x sensitivity, and with mouse acc off (I play fullscreen).

So in my opinion, you should just adjust the sensitivity of your mouse, which you are the most comfortable, and never change it.
:)

EDIT: I get to used in this configuration after about one week.
rzkadi
practice is always the answer, and also just as this guy said

just change your dpi if you want to adjust your sensitivity. if you can't, you have to get used to it

this is just plain wrong. each people have their own preferences and handwork.

But 6/11 is so slow.
Zare
get a proper mouse with adjustable dpi

you obviously didn't get the point of my post, so i'll explain it to you

changing your sensitivity won't magically make you better as long as you're choosing a suitable dpi in your comfort zone
