Transition for me was hard and I recommend anyone who hasn't already, switch now.
I began playing as mouse only in May 2010 and switched to using keyboard in December12th 2010. I bought my first tablet 1 month later and played tablet + kb for the next 8 months. Then I went back to mouse only and have played like this since :3mathexpert9981 wrote:

I am not good with the design/structure of mechanical keyboards so I wonder what does "break" in it? Just curious.ragelewa wrote:

I think I used a misleading word but what really happens is that the letters start to repeat, like if I press "H" on my keyboard it types it 2-3 (sometimes even 7) times nowadays so I can't use it to play osu anymore. It happens because while mechanical keyboards can take a ridiculous amount of presses they aren't designed to survive playing osu. (Quick consecutive presses = harder on the switches than normal typing, and we use more force than normal when we stream too.)Neruell wrote:

Hmm and how long do you use your keyboard and how often you "play" osu with the same buttons untill you switch them?ragelewa wrote:

Edit: I don't really know what exactly breaks in the switch but here's a link detailing the problem further: http://elitekeyboards.com/support.php?lang=en#5
unfortunately my warranty doesn't cover "breaking switches because of playing osu" and shipping my kb back to Canada or something is a pain in the ass

Using the wrong keyboard won't necessarily make you ruin it. More likely it will cause great strain to your finger joints.silmarilen wrote:

or, you could play the optimal mouse only style.MusicFan wrote:
Mouse only. Save the right button for triple/quintuple quarter stacks. Still struggling with quarter stacks that need you to move, but getting
better. Biggest reason I don't use z/x is that I haven't put much practice in it. With maps these days, I'll need to.

Clicking with mouse affects the mouse movement, so I don't use it.

Quitting osu! for the sake of my keyboard.
I did have an old keyboard before, for maybe like 5 years but playing a lot of osu! it did "break". Some months ago bought a new mech keyboard but since I didnt really see any "wow" effect specially for osu! becoming streaming god or anything I better not break something pretty much expensive for something like osu! and use it for a lot of other things and for a way longer time than I would for osu!.Espionage724 wrote:

I had a mouse that I bought late last year as well, and I played osu! with a mouse for maybe a week or two before learning what Z and X were :p, that mouse also broke too (probably unrelated to osu!, but clearly that mouse wouldn't of been able to handle me playing osu! with it too long)
Playing osu! with a mouse seems to affect my movement quite noticeably though. I don't see how it's possible at all to move the mouse and click (and stream) as easily, as opposed to using the mouse for just movement, and Z/X for clicking.

I've been a mouse player from day 1, but am trying to make the transition to z/x. Two issues I'm facing:
1. I have a Das Professional S keyboard that uses cherry brown switches. The problem is the keystroke is so much longer than my mouse that I feel offbeat while trying to use them, having to start the keystroke prior to the beat.
2. Being a mostly left click only player at this point, knowing I have to click works as a good mental "stop here" telling me to stop properly over the button.
It is difficult hitting quick beats while having to keep moving, and I do use z/x when i there's a fast stack of 3+ buttons, but I can't for the life of me coordinate moving the mouse in right hand and keeping the beat in the left. Any tips?
