Always been hovering since I started tablet. I tried dragging once but it feels so slow plus I don't want to kill the nibs

Do you hover or drag?
Total votes: 2703
I drag, feels more stable than hovering for me and since the area I use for osu! is worn smooth there's little resistance. I don't press too hard and my nibs last for quite a long time.
Still, dragging sounds like such a rough term, feels more like gliding across the surface to me.

So... I wish I could hover.
I got my wacom tablet in early January.

teasp00n I think next time it'd be better if you removed the nib when you're playing.
You probably got extra nibs with it. You might wanna replace it. If it's even possible now that is.teasp00n wrote:

I don't play much with my tablet/at all any more because I have stuff to do, but with the week or two I've had my osu!tablet I feel more natural dragging since it feels more like writing normally. I guess it'd be better for me since I don't play too frequently though.
learned to hover in about a month of suffering and being annoyed by it, i like how it makes no noise
i hover and tap
but i have a good tablet pen so i also set the nib to off so that it doesnt register on the tablet.

I got the cheapest version so i couldnt change nibs on it. But it says on the box that is should be extra nibs :S weird.tokaku wrote:

But it still works fine

I tap...so i guess i'll vote for dragging...> >
Does anyone else find tapping just having inconsistent performance in general 0 0, sometimes I can do songs beyond my level sometimes I just cant hit anything for my life =-=

Voted for Hovering because I'm way better when hovering
I'm not sure about tapping being inconsistent. I end up tapping when I'm jumping and drag during spinners, it's a habit. I don't know which one to vote for :/AzureRin wrote:

Your right o.o *facepalm*
S-So.. How do you change them? o.o

Well you've destroyed your pen completely it seems so it might not work, but you place your pen nib into the metal hole on the back, put the pen at an angle and pull.teasp00n wrote:

Actually I removed the nib since I really love to draw and don't want to waste it on a goddamn game, and the results were pretty neat... it literally shaved off a portion of my pen from all the dragging, but it doesn't cripple me in any way, it's just aesthetically displeasing.tokaku wrote:

I started out by dragging but pressed too hard and thought I would damage the tablet and continued hovering, but a couple of months later switched back to dragging. I find it much difficult to hit accurately while hovering and my spinning is much worse. In my opinion, if you drag lightly, you wouldn't have hardware problems. Instead of nibs I use something I thought would be wrong but am actually pretty satisfied with - grass trimmer line. It feels better for me, it is much cheaper, can find it anywhere and lasts longer, I think.
shortly after i posted this i started hovering, easier movements on harder songsenaporp wrote:
I drag but might start hovering or at least try, dont really wanna completely ruin my pen within just weeks of having it.
However dragging feels better imo, you get the "feedback" when touching the tablet, feels more natural to me.
Ever since i got my hands on a tablet, i had been dragging. Of course, being aware of wear and tear, i purchased one of those iPad screen protection sheets and attached it to the top of the tablet. It makes for less scratches for the hardware itself and a more slippery surface to work / play on.
I have occasionally tried hovering, but my accuracy suffers when i do. There's also the issue of occasionally losing control or contact with the tablet by hovering too far over the surface, resulting in pen movements not being registered.
It's a preferential difference of reliable pinpoint accuracy vs freedom of movement and less force applied on pen when playing, though that varies with playstyle, tablet active area settings, and other things.

I prefer hovering, it's near impossible to do long jumps and spins dragging, at least me.
Dude, nice! I'm usually a hover type of person and I wanted to try dragging. The screen protector thing helps me so much! Thanks for the tipBeatMaster007 wrote:

I drag. But people need to stop preaching about hovering/dragging, the differences are negligible (nothing will convince me otherwise)
Mouse I have never heard of that brand of tablet.Hell wrote:
yeah i use a mouse where is that option
I actually hover, but sometimes I get real close and drag a bit. It generally happens because my read height is very low. (Something around 6-12 mm)
Hovering just feels awkward for me. It costs quite a bit of effort to keep the pen just above the tablet, but not on it.
Only retards drag. It's pure physics. Drag=friction=!=speed.
I guess I'm a retard then. DUDE NICE! But if you talk physics then wouldn't your aim be more stable while planted on a surface rather then in hovering in the air? But then again people only care about speed in this game nowadays anyway.thedamntrain wrote:

I see what you did there.
This is why I drag now, instead of hover. I always switch to hover to do spinners, but otherwise I drag, as it makes me a ton more consistent.[ BJ ] wrote:

Hey, I see you guys are talking about it on this thread and I would very much want some experienced players to tell me how they dealt with hovering instead of dragging. Like, what are the prons and cons of hovering vs dragging?
Im worried because I might make the switch of going from dragging to govering but im worried I won't be as accurate and good in spjnners. :I

Don't be worried, it's mostly personnal preferences and both are equally good
Pros and cons would be you might be slower when draggining, and less stable when hovering? But that's by a small margin and wouldn't get noticeable unless you play at a very high level, and even then you'd have practiced enough to overcome the "cons"

You can adapt to whatever dumbshit playstyle you choose as long as you practice at it long enough.GoldenWolf wrote:

That wasn't the point though.
So much respect.

I have "respect" for anyone who can reach top 100 without spamming ezmode DT. You don't have to respect an osuretard as a person, there's nothing glorious about spending 5 years on this game, but I "respect" their skill. Not them as a person, do you comprehend?GoldenWolf wrote:

No, it doesn't make any sense. But then again I didn't expect anything more/less from you.
Can't tell me if you're trying to insult me or make yourself seem retarded by not understanding such simple logic. Then again if you manage to spend enough time here in 2 years to leave 1630 forum posts, you need to kill yourself.GoldenWolf wrote:
