I was disregarding built in quality because it's not directly relevant to the in-game performances
That may be the case, but surface drag still slows you down when using tablet, and people who hover need to deal with the weight of their arm(unless they use a small area that can be reached with their wrist alone).ZenithPhantasm wrote:
Weight. The lightest mouse with a decent sensor weights 5x that of a tablet stylus.
Still lighter than mouse. Also, most people hover and very few to none move their arms to control the stylus they use wrist and finger. If anything arm movement is more applicable to mice.otoed1 wrote:

Mouse still takes far more physical effort than a pen. The fact that most mouse shape with decent sensors have absurd shapes makes it hard to get an ideal grip that allows you to leverage the arm's full strength.otoed1 wrote:

I snap a lot on tablet, besides, mouse drains more stamina on your aiming hand since you move your entire arm instead of your wrist

Like from 800 upwards you're playing wrist only.
Anything below involves your arm but mouseplayers like Doomsday work with their wrists.
I disagree, Drawing lines with a pen is easier than tracing them out with a mouse.xxjesus1412fanx wrote:

this is bullshit, streaming has nothing to do with your aim hand. doomsday, cptnxn and angelsim are so good at streams because they have high speed and stamina in their left hand, not because they use a mouse with their right.xxjesus1412fanx wrote:

Streams also have an aim component.silmarilen wrote:

Maybe I am doing something wrong, but I play with mouse, and I only use my wrist, not my entire arm ;-;KuranteMelodii wrote:

But still, "tablet or mouse is better" is bullshit, it comes to preference
how is a tablet cheaper? you dont need a super exquisite mouse with 17 buttons that plays games instead of you, a cheap one is fine , and those have lower dpi which is an advantageB1rd wrote:
All of the top players use tablet for a reason. And it's not just that tablets are cheaper. Saying it's just a 'placebo' is ridiculous.
You can get a Tablet for $30 which is cheaper than most gaming mice.ShadyAngel wrote:

even if thats true youre not gonna run and buy a tablet are you? no you keep your mouse.
if you have had a tablet in the first place or you wanted to by one anyway then sure enjoy otherwise its an investment with relatively minor gains.
but i could be wrong, and players here are aiming for those ranks and pp and if you say that the tablet is somuchfkinbetter its unbelievable, then thats fine
Older Wacoms are 133hz. Huions and new Wacoms are all 200hz.chainpullz wrote:
It's hard to say absolute positioning is objectively better than relative. Either way you are still building muscle memory. Any negatives with mouse sensors are relative to the quality of your sensor. For what it's worth, most quality mice have substantially better polling rates than tablets, which are capped out around 128 hertz.
But for me it's not my right arm using mouse getting tired, it's my left arm hitting beats with q and w getting tired.KuranteMelodii wrote:

It's because of absolute positioning, nothing more nothing less. It definitely makes it easier to learn to aim for the circles. What nobody can say for sure is whether or not mouse aiming at top level play is a handicap (i.e. after a decade of practice)otoed1 wrote:
So far, the arguments I have for tablet being better are price, which is variable, weight, and absolute positioning. I feel as though weight isn't that important, although I doubt i'm high enough rank and don't play DT enough to give a proper thought about weight and only really high ranked players could discuss it well. Absolute positioning is a definite advantage, but I feel as though play time will easily overcome these issues. Price is too much of a varying factor in my opinion and frankly if I were to purchase another tablet, I would make sure its a higher priced tablet with good reviews, etc. in order to make sure it is high quality. It seems to me that mouse is only marginally worse than tabler, unless you find using it uncomfortable to play with.
Earlier someone made a point how most high ranking players use tablet. However, this does not directly mean that tablet is better than mouse in a significant way. Consider this: People who have purchased a tablet obviously have a greater drive to play the game, as they were willing to spend money on it. Saying that just because something is more popular doesn't mean its better. That would be like saying because Coca Cola is the best soda in the U.S simply because it is the most popular.
