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

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.

Because I only had to use my laptop webcam. It's the only camera I can find around that time. /straightforward

Right, I'm not, but I have no other choice. >=( /me binds winber1 with tentacles

lately, I appear to randomly PM Daru just after he gets online without even knowing he did just come online 3 seconds ago

Spawnkill counter: 6 times in a row
Plus_old_1
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.

Asagi Mutsuki
Plays Single Player: High combo, low accuracy
Play Multi Player:Low combo, low accuracy
For some reason I can't play MP well without missing deliberately :P
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.

When getting a good combo, I happen to notice and get nervous. Legs shake, and my mouse movements become erratic, which results in a combo break. :cry: Also,raeg if it counts.

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.

Hello Skitty
i get nervous and i blink more often than usual, and when playing ar10 its a pain XD
YERTI
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).
Hawnta
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)

I do this too :o
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...
Tsukimi Luna
wierd habit?

1 ragequit when i miss a note
CruzadoqL
Play every song I like with FL lol
My Angel Newnew
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.
tecu
I stain all the anime girls' mountaintops with smoke during breaks.
Nathan
I start licking my lips during an fc
kaetwo
My leg shakes always after a spinner
otoed1
I hold my mouse at an angle to the left and because of this are unable to consistently do jumps. Also my aim sucks D:. Aim is hands down the hardest part of this game.

My weird habit is editting every map I want to play to AR10 because I can not read AR9 for the life of me. It's too confusing X_X

I do the same thing but I just never thought of it as weird.
eeezzzeee
Relax mod makes most stuff harder for me because I can't aim as well if I don't click

My brain is dumb like that :D

Because it's not, nobody I've ever seen holds a mouse perfectly straight. It doesn't affect jumps.
Xayne
I realized something when I was playing last night. I curl my toes up tightly and stress the muscles in my legs during high pressure situations. I guess in an attempt to keep me from tensing up in my arms/fingers/wrists, I subconsciously tense up other muscles. I have to say it's pretty successful. I can generally stay pretty loose in the areas that matter.

I actually do that too sometimes. I press the top part of my right foot against my desk. It somehow feels that by applying pressure on my foot, my hands stay more "relaxed" (?). It's weird, I can't really explain it. Maybe it's just a reaction to the nerves.
I Give Up
I clench my butt when I stream 420bpm.
Arnold0
Hitting my keys realy hard when I feel I can't keep up on streams. Hitting hard when jumping too.
Sometimes tapping to the beat using the two keys at the same time during breaks especialy on songs I realy like.
Readjusting my pen almost every breaks.
I like to spin my cursor everywere in the game and during breaks but on spinner I get slow RPMs.
Almost always lucky 100/50 hit notes after a spinner that seam to be the end of the map.
Checking combo/accuracy/position in MP... while playing and missing.

Sh0keR
When I get a high combo, I glance at the combo counter and at the same time break it
- Marco -
on extra beatmaps i use HT+SD o.o
Treekii
I can't play osu with my legs on the floor. I have to put my legs in the chair crossed.
AivLiS
I randomly click my mouse once or twice during gameplay.
Yangu
I alternate slow parts and single tap fast parts
ZenithPhantasm
I adjust my mouse grip even if it means I miss if it starts feeling uncomfortable.
vivisiow
I tend to daydream/think deeply when I'm playing OSU....
When I'm bored.:P
Thus causing me to lose combo! :O
Or fail the map......
But 95% of the time I don't fail or lose combo~
So-i somehow can play OSU while daydreaming/thinking which is weird......
:/
:D

I do the same thing but rather than it being a weird habit I think its just my ADHD (wot attention span?)
NoScreename
I tend to want to S or SS everything when I get a good start.
L Hime
I tilt my head to the right whenever it gets hard for me, it usualy results in horrible neck pain :c

I wear my headphones even though I play with speakers on most times

I tug my shirt during every break even thought the song might be easy

I can't play unless i sit on my left feel and shake my right.
DeletedUser_4823407
When playing with AutoPilot, I always press the smoke key on a spinner.

I don't have bad attention span tho :/
But wow!i never thought someone would have the same habit as me!:D
-sev
It's not uncommon to lose concentration you know.
Sophia_old_1
I don't think it's uncommon to start thinking about other stuff in osu!, so instead I'll list my other habit :

I start tilting my head to the left the more I play. It's pretty noticeable. The harder the song, the more the tilt.
Lyubey
I sometimes predict spinners in the middle of nowhere and spin, I also sometimes smash my head on the keyboard when I miss sometimes...
Raniemi
Retrying on 1x100
TaigerLilly
I shake my left foot when I get really into a map.
It's not even to the beat of the song, I just have random foot spasms.
My accuracy always goes up when I do it though.
Dammie
Isn't really a bad habit but it started happening lately to me....

Forget my pen grip until i warm up, and when im already warm up i want to stop playing for now , then the cycle repeats so my improvement is kinda stuck .
