How are you guys running out of desk space? My mouse NEVER hits the boundary of my mousepad, ever.

Wow how do you guys run out of desk space with a mouse? I play 270 dpi 6/11 and have plenty of space.

I'm in a terrible need of a new table. I should use a wider spread on my hands which is not possible at the moment and each time I try to spin >440 monitor starts to shake and the table feels like it'll fall apart. That and my arms are quite retarded not always remembering the grip so it's tedious to find it over and over again for different map styles.

If I had a better table I'd see no cons using mouse over tablet.

^ This. I don't have proper surface to play sometimes, as I'm playing on laptop such as right now (using bed as the table, which is totally uncomfortable). Kinda sucks that I often travel around with it.

On another note: the reason I'll still stick with mouse is because tablets are expensive anyway, and I would prefer playing with on-screen tablet (even more expensive) because I sucked so hard playing with my sister's WACOM Bamboo Fun tablet.

I run out of space everytime
3€ mice
It loses tracking at random

There are A LOT of other things which limit my aiming skill but these are the main reasons

On long maps with no breaks, my mouse slides a little and I always end up in a weird hand position and it fucks up my accuracy.

- Sometimes I crush my hands and move it in a way on fast songs where I twist my wrist by mistake when I panic on missing. It hurts the sides of my hands due to how I hold it.

- If it's a wireless mouse, it's REALLY annoying cause it skips alot when you least expect it.

I think that's just you and your low quality mouse.

Well it's a Logitech M305. Though I have no idea how old it is... Besides, it seems to work most of the time, it's just sometimes it skips. I really have no idea how wireless mouse works, or if signals can screw it up or not.

Because when my mouse gets locked in a slow motion of going in a big circle like in the map Chloe, my mouse eventually slides off the desk so I can't S it unless I pause every 30 seconds and reposition.

I think it's a more fun play style though, except for cursor dancing lol.

Wireless mice have a really high polling rate which makes playing faster maps literally impossible unless you have a really good one. In any case, they are garbage for osu!.

Having drawing experience, I have a easier time with finger/wrist movement rather than arm/wrist movement.

well i kinda use my arm too with tablet, but not as much. also holding a pen is more natural

my code doesn't work still

Because i dont want to rebuild my aim from scratch again...
Even if its more stable.....

PLaying with a wireless mouse is the last thing you should do...
I used to play with a wireless logitech mouse with x4 dpi meaning 4,000 dpi
I dont even know how i played that settings back then
But during that time
I was stuck, like there was a brick wall in front of me (Could only play easy insanes)
I only moved on after reducing my sens and getting a wired mouse and started using the keyboard
Wireless mouse tend to slide away a lot and is extremely unstable

Tablet makes single tapping so ez <3

1) It hurts.
2) Accuracy becomes unstable while playing a beatmap(after 1-2 minutes).

Since I can play around with my properties and settings...I have my mouse configured at 3800dpi. Before I ever reached that high, I played on a much lower dpi, like around the 1500 area. As I'd play more and more Osu, and realize I could do so much more without moving around my entire arm, I'd train my hand to adjust to the settings accordingly. Yeah, sometimes my wrist does hurt, but being able to make very minimal movements helps a lot. I have the smallest space for my mouse available next to my giant of a keyboard, and it's really all I need.

I still like a lot playing with mouse; I don't play with it actively anymore though. My hand always gets so wet after a while the mouse goes everywhere ;w;

I play with a mousepad and I'm not.. that bad. It's just hard to move your finger quickly from one place to another.

I'm going to present this thread to my mom with the topic "Another reason you should buy me a tablet"

The only reason i'd switch is that my mouse falls off the mousepad sometimes when maps have too much left or right motion
