Just as it was already said, it really is a matter of preference. Most top players singletap with index finger, less people singletap with middle finger. My middle finger hurts if I singletap with it too much.

My tablet is still okay from all that tablet tapping.

Maybe it's easier for them to? Most players I've seen tapped with their pointer and middle on the z and x keys; so I'm not really sure XD I've seen a few people who've only tapped with their middle finger, they were quiet fast at it so maybe it was just easier for them. It's pretty rare though, or at least for me

I do it when I'm frustrated ~

the same happens to me LOL btw do u still singletap with ur middle?

It felt natural to me back when I started playing and single tapped. I also notice my strength and control is stronger with my middle finger on my left hand, but I'm two key scrub tier now.

I started with my index finger and then one day when I felt the need to alternate at certain parts on a map, I switched to the middle finger as my primary finger and I haven't turned back since. I felt I was both faster and more accurate with it.

My story as well, though not for the same reasons.
I spent 2 years on my index finger. Changed to middle one day... practically instant improvement.

I mainly use index but I use middle if a pattern just naturally makes me stop alternating while on middle.

No difference between them for me.

I can follow the beat better with my middle finger rather than using my index finger. especially when there are stacks all over the place

Dunno, I was using Middle whole time... but now it starts to hurt in high bpm and I feel so slow aswell. I'm trying to switch to index these days cause it's faster with index to single tap and also feels more comfortable and not hurting myself at all... but problem is I can't start streams nor triples with Index, when I start stream with index then I start smashing keyboard so quickly its almost impossible and fail so hard. I'm trying to relearn from it but its so hard, I just cant do good stream when I press Index on first note, I always have to start streams and triples with middle to complete them on full 300s. I'm not sure if I should keep practicing with index and switch back to middle and tryhard with middle, but I feels like using index more, but its probably placebo effect, cause Rafis is pretty much god now, and Cookiezie uses Index as main aswell. I hope I will relearn index way succesfully, but now it's PURE pain in the ass...

I've used index the whole time for my osu! career. Too hard to switch now.

I single tap with my middle when I feel my index is out of energy. Gotta save the index for the harder parts of the map.

I always thought that most people ended up using their index finger for singletapping, and the middle finger for K2. I somehow am better with using my index finger for tapping, and my ring finger for K2, and I use s and t while holding down the spacebar. It's just based on preferences.
Mirvein
Well, what is it?
A preference-thread.
I'm usually start streams and single tap with a middle finger because it is longer than other fingers and it is uncomfortable to bend my palm for use an index finger.
It is a question not about effectiveness in general, but about your fingers' specifics.

This.

In all seriousness though, I just can't single tap for shit with my index.

from what i have seen in experience, middle finger provides more accuracy and index finger helps with high speeds.
