Few words from me:
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EiRC80FJbHU
2) My personal preference, while working and listening music, i was trying to tap on table, while doing piano with fingers, somehow i was able to single tap faster with ring figer. For a while now, i am using ring + index for playing and in comparation to middle + index, i have better control over streams and i can single tap faster.
3) Practice, practice and one more time practice. A friend of mine gave me good tip - if you are listening music, tap to rhythm whenever you have chance. But all of this goes into one simple golden rule: play more single tap, practice and get better.

You have to keep your hands and fingers really stiff and tight while jerking your arm up and down in a quick motion. Make sure to lube your keyboard so everything runs smoothly.
There are a few components for single tapping, we can split single tapping up into these components:
> The speed at which your fingers taps the key
> The time it takes for your fingers to "respond" by letting go of the key
> The let-go distance your fingers cover
> Your stamina pool
> The leeway between the tapping and letting go of the key
So you want to improve in these criterias:
> Increasing the actual speed of your fingers
> Decreasing the time your fingers is spent having zero momentum, meaning you let go as fast as you can and hit the keys as soon as you can
> Aiming to minimise the distance between your fingers and your keys
> Efficient usage of your stamina as well as stamina growth
wall of text:
By being more aware of your finger movements until it becomes a habit to take the shortest distance for your fingers to let go, not only would this help improve your speed but also your stamina and your control. If you have more control of your finger movements than you'll probably be a lot more consistent with BPM and you're not wasting energy with needless movements
Having your fingers react a lot faster to the up and down movements will also increase your single tapping capability, as a fast up/down motion is useless if you aren't actually starting that motion as fast as you can. Faster finger movements and slow reaction time inbetween each tap will wear you out a lot faster than moderate finger movements and fast reaction time inbetween each tap.
The biggest factor to any of this is your stamina pool. If your stamina pool is crap then there really isn't any other way to "get better" at streaming until you actually have something to work with. Increasing your stamina pool should be common sense; not anyone with a good stamina pool is good at streaming or tapping or hitting keys, it's how your stamina is allocated and making the most of it. For example, a player with a huge stamina pool could be totally ass at tapping, because his tapping technique consists of a finger motion distance that is double of a mediocre player, so the tapping speed of his motions use a lot more force than the mediocre player.

Play more singletapping maps
I learned how to single with either finger, and also how to alternate, so whenever a singletapping section comes that's too fast I alternate it, and when I can singletap again I can continue with whichever finger I started with

Something nobody mentioned but really everybody should at least TRY is actually repositioning your keyboard and/or hand. I experienced this myself when I just couldn't singletap more than 200 bpm and got really depressed about this. I started rearranging my equipment, like moving my chair closer to the table and putting the keyboard in a certain place where it felt more comfortable.
After several tries the tapping suddenly became much easier and I could singletap way faster than I could ever before, it felt really strange but it worked like magic.
What I'm saying is you might be already able to singletap faster and more consisten but you're holding yourself back by positioning your wrist and finger in a wrong way, at least that is how it was for me. (It's worrth a try!)
Also singletapping gets harder, the harder the cursor movement gets. So if you're not that great at singletapping hard jumps or patterns will completely throw you off and you should practice on easier maps with high bpm first.

As for hardware, maybe Black Switches could work? The spring is stiffer and should help with rebound.
Also, snapping is your friend. If your cursor isn't where the note is, the hitsounds are gonna throw you off when you tap. (I get rekt hard as some high bpm songs have killer OD)
Like Gintoki just said, do some ergo tweaks. Should save your hand in the long run too
Lastly, the build up. Use your Collections grouping to organize the songs you want to improve on.
Then play more.

i can single tap like 280 bpm easy. this is the only thing i'm good at.
first i put my hand into a claw shape.
then I hover my hand to about the height of my keyboard so my wrist is straight.
then i just move my hand up and down with my forearm anchored on the table (your hand should look like its vibrating if you do this fast enough).
i use black switches
good for speed, but bad for endurance and accuracy, in my opinion.
even though i have this ability, i prefer alternating as it takes less energy

It's really hard for me to singletap 280 for extended periods of time, but I try everyday. Have you tried playing reiwai terrorism?
if you can't singletap something then semi-alternate,booooooooom logicKheldragar wrote:

Do you think I can alternate? I can't, and I don't like it; I'd rather build more singletapping speed and stamina. Boom, logicCptBlackBird wrote:

Hi,and welcome to the StaminaIncreasing.tv,we have two offers today.ZenithPhantasm wrote:

First is the stamina increasing for 50€ which is 101% effective.
Second is the stamina increasing for 5€ which is 100% effective.
....which one do you choose?
Please also ignore all the other aspects in which mechs > rubbers
That's why I'm playing more
playing more is useless since this game is a joke just like the community

All you need are two switches, solder, and some n00by soldering sk1llz which costs less than 2£ in total.CptBlackBird wrote:

I can tell that i'm physically capable of single tapping that, but my reading and aim is no where near playing stuff that fastKheldragar wrote:

Can't read the rhythm.
i can single tap around 140 bpm streams, even long streams.
never tried faster, but i probably could.
a pointless skill tho b/c i prefer alternating

Oh, okay.
I don't get this analogy and I see it get thrown around a lot. With just about anything I know if people want to increase stamina doing something they just lengthen the time doing the activity at the desired intensity.CptBlackBird wrote:
good luck increasing stamina with reds
You don't see marathon runners lugging around big weights on their runs because 'muh stamina', in fact this is true for almost everything. The only exceptions I can think of is when it's actually necessary to have an elevated amount of force/weight that you need to use/lug around (i.e. soldiers on a march, hikers, etc) - but in our case, you're not being forced to play osu with tough keys, it's a self-imposed preference kind of thing, not a necessity. You should be able to build stamina with reds just as well or almost as well as you could with any other key.
If you want more stamina clicking keys then click keys more often. You don't need to strap weights to your fingers and make the springs on your K1/K2 tougher than iron to get good returns.
Any clothing is extra weight.pandaBee wrote:

You need clothes to run in most marathons, so no it doesn't count as extra weight, it's required weight.jaaakb wrote:

Wearing heavy, baggy, drag-inducing clothes on the other hand is clearly a recipe for unnecessary torture.
go TRYHARD tense up to singletap... then after a while when you're used to it you will not need to tense as much and before you know it you will be singletapping 280 bpm with ease 
just play a lot of singletap maps over... and over...
map advice:
kokou no sousei (240 bpm) https://osu.ppy.sh/s/28705
big money, big prizes (280 bpm) https://osu.ppy.sh/s/101766
the creator (280 bpm) https://osu.ppy.sh/s/41242
remind (270 bpm) https://osu.ppy.sh/s/37292
talent shredder (280 bpm) https://osu.ppy.sh/s/47710
dance with a number (296 bpm) https://osu.ppy.sh/b/98415
megitsune (284 bpm) https://osu.ppy.sh/s/110357
these are just an example of some of the maps i nerded to get gud at singletapping... also ar 8 dt maps help with singletapping too... just play these songs they're fun :')

I don't know how anyone uses their fingers only to singletap that speed - I have to use my arm.
