Hi, I just bought wacom bamboo pen and I have a problem. When I'm doing jumps or difficult parts I lift the pen too high and it stops working. It drives me insane. Could you give me a piece of advice about it?

thanks

Just play more and keep at it.It takes a while to get used to hovering but it's worth it.

this is exactly what made me drag for the rest of my tablet life. I should start hovering again. :(

I have a really hard time getting use to tablets. I have one, but I always use my wireless mouse for OSU and I suck at tablet play. Yet it's suppose to be easier? o.O

Keep using the tablet until you get used to it. Tablet isn't necessarily "easier" than mouse as much as it's more consistent due to absolute positioning.

Start dragging? Since today. I'm still dragging, but I probably shouldn't.

Generally I don't think dragging is much of problem for your tablet as long as you don't press unhumanly hard on the tablet. But in general, hovering is often time better, at least in my opinion, because you are able to get a sort of "flow movement" more easily which can be really helpful on streams and other patterns (as long as you get used to moving to different points on the tablet. It was awkward at first since it was hard to stop at specific points without the friction I get from dragging, but I got used to it). The only thing that will for sure be greatly decreased is the life of pen nib, which is easily replaceable.

I drag, and it feels really light so i dont mind it.

I drag, but i put an overhead sheet (clear plastic the size of a piece of paper) over the surface of my tablet. It is pretty smooth, and my nib has shown no more wear after I did that.

My tablet didn't die from dragging(yet), but it sure is visible that I drag.




Dragging is really handy for me as hovering messes up my aim, but I notice that my aim is pretty bad.

I use a ipad cover for mine. It feels a lot better compared to when you go without anything.

Mine always appears where my tablet area is, kinda.
When I use full area it's somewhere near the middle, but with small area in the corner it creates some sort of ear shape on the black area, I have it on my previous tablet.
