my wrist is pressed against the mouse pad and slides a little when I move.

Mouse players, do you anchor your wrist?

since i'm best mouse player you guys are all wrong and should feel bad
I don't get the topic really.
I, for example, can't control the whole playfield with just wrist. + the mouse drift does its job.
SO, the solution is simple. When YOU HAVE TO, you should slide your wrist along, when you don't have to, you don't. Of course it can feel awkward, but nobody who knows about the game will tell you that the best way is the comfortable way.

The DPI of my mouse is 1000. It's not adjustable so I've been using raw input and osu sensitivity settings. I've slowly come down from 1.08 to 1.00. I like the added control of lower sensitivity, but I'm thinking maybe I need to go back up to 1.02 because quick jumps are just insane now. I think it's just at that point where it's a bit too awkward to go ham with movement, but anchoring and using nothing but wrist isn't enough. I may just have to adjust sensitivity.DJPuzzle wrote:
I used to play with mouse, had dpi of 2200 set on mouse and would anchor my wrist. Sensitivity probably had something to do with the fact that I could anchor, but I found that if I didn't I felt a lot less comfortable and my accuracy dropped as well.
I imagine if you're using a lower DPI setting you may not be able to move your mouse across the whole screen and anchoring wouldn't be very comfortable and might throw you off. But I certainly don't recommend upping your sensitivity either.

Hm, I'm not a super good player or something like that, but I use the Basic Optical Mouse* from Microsoft. (I know it's kinda odd to use that instead of a gaming mouse but for me it works fine.) I use my fingers to change the postition of the cursor instead of moving my wrist. The back of my mouse usually doesn't even touch my palm so my fingers have the only, and the full control. My wrist stays int he same place and doesn't move at all, I hope this answers your question in some way?Xayne wrote:
I'm not sure if this is a new habit or if I'm just now noticing it with the harder/faster maps, but I have a tendency to anchor my wrist and play with nothing but wrist movement, if I try to slide along my wrist it feels insanely awkward and I typically miss notes. The issue is I can't jump from one side to the other with any kind of speed or accuracy this way and it's greatly hindering my ability to pass harder maps. I've been contemplating on whether or not I need to up the sensitivity or just learn how to play with my wrist off of the pad. How do mouse players typically handle this? I play with a claw grip so taking my wrist off feels that much more awkward.

I don't remember which MS's mouse was recommended before (but I remember that was a basic mouse), so there are some chances to be one of them.SatireSacrifice wrote:

How the hell can you lift your wrist and aim properly D:

For about 99% of people it's better to use lower DPI (<800) combined with small/moderate wrist movement to reach higher consistancy. The amount of natural finesse required to actually get really good (Gokuri/Dungeon tier) with high DPI is insane.
That's a miracle, my mouse is approx 7-10 years old, and sometimes it does some weird shit while playing XD Really want to buy a gaming mouse, but as long as all the strange things my mouse do won't bother me too much I'll keep playing with it c:manjumochi wrote:

That purely depends on you.Xayne wrote:
So me playing at 1000 DPI is hindering me?

When I was a mouse player definitely not.
This was due to me using a very low dpi and a high res.
I imagine you could have a dpi/res combo where it's slow enough but you can anchor your wrist. Just switch mouse grips from like palm, to extended out or whatever. It's what I did.
