If you play with pen mode you can't change you sens in-game, it just depends on the area you use on both your tablet and screen.

Good to know I'm not alone :pMetro wrote:
I use my right hand for the mouse and my left hand for writing so I did the exact same switch as you. I didn't feel any problems with streaming with my right hand at all... I used to play PC PIU so both my hands are used to streaming. But...
This. You're probably just not used to it yet. Give it some time.Lybydose wrote:
If you're capable in using a mouse in your off-hand, why aren't you able to use that hand for other purposes? I imagine if I used a mouse in my left hand for long enough I'd eventually be able to write with it too.
I never used my right hand for anything else than moving mouse that's probably why I'm having trouble.
Not as easy as that. Left-handed people are FORCED to use the mouse with their right hand and become accustomed to it. It's not as computers all over the world are set-up with mouses on both sides for the convenience of the player's dexterity. Writing is far harder than moving a mouse about and clicking.Lybydose wrote:

@JesusYamato: Just switch the keyboard settings around, have a substitute for z/x towards the right side of the keyboard and play with the tablet using your left hand.

Writing is far harder than moving a mouse about and clicking.We're not forced to but if we started using computers at others place or used our parents computer when we were younger the mouse is 95% of the case set up for right handed users so we got used to that.

my friend is the same as you
he is left handed and used mouse in his right hand all his life
and now when he changed to a tablet he dunno how to hold the pen
only on the left one and he's Fu**** on the right using 12 on the num pad
and thats most of the proplem

Tell him to keep trying, i'm slowly being able to do DTs again. I still can't fc most insane songs on first try but hey i'm getting there.Cremson wrote:

He might want to try O/P instead of numpad
Im Left Handed and I Use the tablet with my right. It's Almost Impossible to do spinners.

Anyways, I'll just post something on topic:
I'm left-handed and use my mouse in my right, and I've had my tablet since March. I use the Num4/Num5 keys (mainly because I use S/D when playing using mouse), and although I'm still unable to stream as fast and as consistent as I could when playing right-handed, my left-handed streaming has been improving tremendously since I've switched, and I think I'd be able to surpass my right-handed streaming speed by the end of the summer.
Anyways, I'll just post something on topic:
The main reason for this is because most peoples' first experiences using a keyboard+mouse has been with the mouse on the right, and usually don't give it a second thought until they're already used to having it on their right.Waryas wrote:
A lot of left handed players use mouse with their right hand, no idea why. But i know at least 5 people on osu who are left handed and yet use their mouse with their right hand..

I worked on a bamboo tablet and to be honest, its not really worth to switch. I'm still getting better w/ the mouse all the time(i am also left handed but the use the mouse w/ my right) until you get under 20,000 i wouldn't worry about using a mouse instead of a tablet
that's my take on it

I had the exact same problem Waryas
sadly there isn't really a solution for this and I just stuck with it until my right could stream like my left, by now the problem is reversed, I can't go back to mouse because my left can't steam anymore. (not that that's a problem)
If you really want to play with tablet your just gonna have to get used to clicking with your right, and you would be surprised by how easy it is to switch because it only took me 10 days
it really is worth the effort, I love playing with my tablet and it is so much easier.

I am left handed, but I used mouse only (right hand) so I'm lucky~
Back when I played baseball I was faced with a similar situation, I was using a left glove but was curious to see if a right handed one was better, it was and here is why. I did some research for people performing tasks on their off hand, you can get to within 10% of your dominant hands performance with practice. Now assuming the same applies for osu! your performance will be close to same, with practice. Because your dominant hand is decided by biological factors though you will NEVER be bale to surpass your dominant hand's potential skill(you also naturally have better muscle memory your dominant hand than your off). That being said it will require practice. Another thing to note is the fact you'll be switching from a mouse to tablet, I don't know if a tablet performs better than a mouse but we'll assume so for this. In conclusion if you switch from right handed mouse to a left handed tablet and put in some practice expect at least a 15% performance increase.
P.S. I'm not the best at osu!(and I do plan to switch to a tablet when I manage to throw the $ together and remember to buy one) but I'm taking experience when I played competitive baseball and assuming it will be a similar outcome. hope this helps anyone reading

I'm also left handed and have hard problem improving eventhough I play 4 hours+ a day for 3 month actively...
Thank goodness I'm not the only one experiencing the problem.
I don't use my tablet that much,but whenever I do,I have to change my key bindings from Z/X to 1/2(NumPad).
Attempting to hit notes using the right hand's a really bad idea for me,I can't even get both of my hands to sync properly when I do that.

The only thing here I see to solve this is to practice. I mean really, all us right handers had to practice doing triples and all those things with our left hand.

hovering might solve the problem as well as getting used to moving your pen with your right hand. PRACTICE SLOWLY and eventually you will be used to it. how do you spin? easy, you but how is it suppose to feel like? position your thumb and pointer as if your pinching something -pointer finger just alittle above the thumb so that you have a point then put your pointer finger on a surface then in try to make small fast circles. that's the idea but just with your pinkie because your hovering and with your right hand

Put the auto mod and just press the buttons with you right till you can stream and you will be good to go thats what i would do and that i will because i am getting a ctl490

This was five years ago but i just wanted to say i have the same problemWaryas wrote:
I've been playing for almost 5 months now with mouse in right hand and my left hand keyboard C/V'ing
I recently got a tablet from my friend (today) and I noticed i'm totally fucked because I'm left handed for writing/holding a pen and I can't even do triplets with my right hand (let alone stream anything faster than 140 1/4).
Anyone experienced this ? What did you do? Practice keyboard with your other hand, become ambidextrous, ... ?

Even though this is old, but I made the switch and thought the same, but now after a few months I go used to it
Why do I have a squiggly line after my text

I had this problem, used to use mouse in right hand. When I switched to tablet I really struggled adjusting to tapping with right. It's just one of those things you get used to eventually.
Well i got a tablet last december and like you, i also used right hand for mouse and left hand for keyboard. It took me awhile to get used to having my right hand hitting the keyboard but after practicing I've gotten really good! Like you, streaming is also a problem as my right hand is bad at tapping quickly, kinda relatable XD
good job
now go away
now go away
I had to do the same switch back when I bought my tablet. Started having problems tapping with my right hand, I was extremely slow and I was always having bad acc and I started switching tablet area and switching the pen from one hand to the other. It's no use you'll eventually get used to tapping with your right hand, It didn't take too long for me to get used to so just practice more.
i used to play with my right hand mouse because i had no choice i was about rand 1million to 400k untill i got a tablet and i played with my left hand because im not ambidextrous it took a week or 2 to get really used to itWaryas wrote:

dont worry if your not played great with a tablet you will get the hang of it after a few days of playing (you will see improvment)
My tablet would arrive in like a month, and few weeks before I already knew I would be having these problems, so not I'm trying to practice with tapping with my right hand.
Just wondering if someone had ever tried using tablet with their off-hand.

I naturally was good at right-hand triples; I can't really stream more than 16-20 at a time but I'm working on it and I used to barely be able to do quintuplets.
So keep practicing.
Also binding keys to the lower half of the keyboard somehow makes your streaming faster. I don't know why but it does. Maybe because your hand is arched.

I tried using my tablet with my off-hand. It really does feel better at first and streaming is a lot of easier because you're doing it with your left hand. Aiming with your left hand and streaming with your right does feel like you're learning the game from the start.. I didn't make any progress and I was better at anything with my right hand aiming. However, spinners are almost impossible with your off-hand. (~400 with left hand,~200-250 with right hand)Hyyy6 wrote:

Also you need to consider that your dominand hand is more precise when it comes to aiming. So overall I would recommend to learn how to play with your left hand aiming and your right hand tapping.

Necros. I know OP doesn't need answers anymore, but some lurker who just bought a tablet (like me) might.
I was in your boat not even a month ago.
I'm right-handed when it comes to using the mouse, and a lefty when eating, writing, and most other things. Luckily for me, though, I was a mouse-only player, so I was already proficient at tapping with my right hand.
For a good 2 weeks after getting my tablet, I was getting my ass handed to me by 2-3* songs. The hardest part is probably learning to aim. I haven't done enough research into grips to tell you what's good or what's bad, but I hold the pen like I'm writing. When I first started out, I was trying to hold the pen vertically -- this caused me to go crazy from lifting the pen too high.
TL;DR: Play more.

Well, i persobally also was a right hande mice player, then i got the tablet and had the same problem as you, so i just changed my playstyle and began playing left hand pen and right hand keyboard (I use 8 and 9 on numpad if you would ask)
