Depends on you. But if objectively then tablet is better cuz it has less downsides. Pen is lighter than mouse, absolute positioning. Only downside is that pen can slip off.

mice (optical sensors in the 5000+ fps range and 1000hz usb polling) are more responsive/less delay, currently.

a lot of the differences come from using differend sensors, not the shape of device.

Tablet takes less effort to move and you don't have to physically move your body as much which means less strain. With a mouse you have a fair amount of kinetic energy to stop when you change directions.

You also have more precise control in your fingers from writing your whole life. Writing letters with a mouse is much harder than with a tablet, and that translates to osu.

And the biggest thing is Absolute tracking, which means the cursor will ALWAYS be in the same place on screen in relation to the pen, which builds much stronger muscle memory. Even to the point where you don't even really need a cursor anymore.
Your brain starts to get rid of the disconnect between hand and cursor and it starts to feel as natural as a touch screen. Like you know exactly where to move the pen to hit a circle regardless of a visual cursor on screen.
That just doesn't work with a mouse because mice have relative tracking. even if you never lift your mouse off the mouse pad, the mouse will drift around so you never really have true muscle memory for the relation between the cursor and position of the mouse.

Overall there is really no objective advantages to a mouse for osu. Other than being more convenient.

If your serious about playing this game then you should use a tablet.

i think the learning curve with tablet is better. but mouse can be just as good as tablet.

There are top 50 players that use mouse, and I've personally made it to 29k using a mouse. You can be good with either, as long as you put the effort in and practice.
