I recently switched to tablet and keyboard. I don't know whether to use my left or right hand when playing with tablet. When writing irl I'm left handed and with Osu! I feel more accurate with aiming with my left hand and faster with spinners, but the key pressing speed isn't as fast as it is with my right hand. Do I get used to using my right hand or build up skill with my left hand?

Any advice would be great.

You won't be able to develop the feeling you have in your left hand in years when trying to use the pen with your right.
It is natural that your main hand is stronger at both but mechanically tapping should be easier to learn for your offhand as it doesn't require the flexibility and micromovement that aiming with the pen does.

As a left hander who played tablet with my right hand, I can't tell you how wrong you are lol.

You're tempting me really hard to switch my hands around here.

I can use the tablet better in my right hand than my left. It doesn't even feel comfortable in my left. Obviously it did not feel natural in my right hand initially and took some time to get used to but it definitely did not take years. I cannot confirm how long it took since this was some 6 years ago but I will estimate a month (2 at most).

I take your challenge, I shall use my mouse with my left from this day and see how it goes.
