Is there any way to train my "rythm"?
play djpop maps maybe, or use hidden to force you to listen to the music. make sure hitsounds are audible and be conscious of the distinctions between 1/2 and 1/4 notes [the most common 2 used] and how the hitsounds convey the delay between them and make the connection with your movements. a 1/2 slider tick gives you the exact rhythm you should use between 2 singles, 1/4 sliders tell you how to hit the streams... 1/6 and 1/3 notes are typically used together like on caravan palace - dragons so they get treated basically the same way. complicated maps are always going to be complicated to play though.
If there are many circles together I just randomly spam my 2 keys and hope that I dont get a combo break.
If you can't figure out what to hit by scanning the circles, and aren't able to individually eye every circle one at a time and discern where they are and exactly when they have to be hit, it's still too hard for you to read. i recommend you avoid mashing though because that leads to a terribly hard to kick habit.
How can I learn to click faster?
Double time.
It sometimes just stops to click and I get a combo break. It's like my hand saying: Nope! I don't want to do that shit anymore.
Practice, that's all you can do for this. It's either related to reading or to stamina.
I decided to start hovering - which does not work for me, even after days of practice.
Is there a possibility to get used to it faster?
what issue are you having? lack of tactile feedback? try having your pinkie out a bit and touching the surface of the tablet. is it too shaky? maybe you don't have it held securely enough, have one of your fingers going somewhat along the pen rather than across it. and remember to just practice..

one more thing: you change your playstyle a lot which is always heartache. your mouse was fine and you would have learned to move fast enough with it eventually. then going from dragging to hovering was just another thing you have to get used to.

Should I get me a Keyboard where it's easier to click (like MX Red)?
A rubber dome keyboard can stop registering keys if tap it to fast. So yes you should get a mechanical keyboard.

To sum up the two previous posts: Practice.

I had a terrible pain in my hand while using the mouse because I used my wrist to get down on the screen and it was awful in maps who got a lot of circles on the lower site, so I think it really helped since I atleast do not have any pain now.

Yes, some keys are already broken so I think I'm gonna do this, tho I'm not sure about which type.
I really like MX Blue because theyre loud, but aren't they a way too hard to trigger?

MX Reds are the easiest to push down. Also loud keyboards annoy people you are talking to Source: personal experience.

For me, although i only play osu offline I don't really find a problem with pushing down my keyboard or sound problems (I use a standard mac keyboard)

The only problem i find is alternating with the keys, (I suck at mashing on streams)...
The main thing to do with triggering the keyboard smoothly is to get adjusted to the keyboard your using and to relax you hand.
(Your hands can suddenly tense and stop pressing if it's not relaxed, but still remember to warm up your hands)
Literally warming up your hands can actually help alot, just saying

Does that mean i literally suck that much or i've been playing osu completely wrong this whole time?

It means you have to play the streams without mashing

Well thanks captain obvious^^, sorry but i guess my stupidity held me back quite a bit before actually linking the information.---.

Yes,to understand rhythm your first step is going to be understanding music. This one is pretty good and helped me back then and on the other hand you have little playcount and accuracy/rhythm is pretty hard to build up so don't worry too much yet.
Wow this video is gold, we should all bookmark it and throw it in every "how to get better" thread

If you do not already have a good sense of rhythm, then it does take quite long to learn. That's why professional musicians start young. Even with detailed explanations of how rhythm works (it's just basic math), this is something you still have to condition yourself to over a long period of time. Every map you play teaches you rhythm. osu! makes it a bit easier than typically learning to play a musical instrument, with the same level of technical precision, since the game is essentially your rhythm trainer.

It still takes a lot of play time and you're not the first to feel like it will take far too long at your current pace. But the learning curve is not predictable. Some things take a while to learn at first, and while they may all seem like "separate" skills, inevitably an improvement in one area is linked to improvements in other areas. As a result, the rate of improvement is all over the place, which people define as "walls" (when they say they've hit a wall and can't improve) and bursts of improvement (when they are suddenly able to play faster maps). Even if you appear to be a slow starter, you can still play catch up, when things finally click into place.

To click faster, you have to be faster than the map (You move your cursor faster but not clicking faster)
Your fingers stop because the map you're playing is too hard for you.

We played the same map in that video and I couldn't even pass it, so you're better than me at that pp.

don't listen to me too much, though. I suck.

Keep playing, i don´t think you got really good at cs with little practice. This could even be worse.

Oh I'm not good at cs, trust me :D

but anyways big thanks to all of you.
I managed to get more than 12.000 ranks+ in less than 2 days :)
I got used to hovering and now can do most of the insane maps I didnt manage to do just a few days ago.

Kids... This is what we call the sudden skill spike, It's nature is unknown but it is a rare happening that all osu players will experience...
Although who knows when :v
