So all my life when it comes to computers, i've always prefehrred te touch pad and even so i didn't find myself at a disadvantage ever when it comes to games and such, actually found myself being quite good, but right now theres been more and more games coming out that are made specifically for the mouse, specifically OSU right now.. I do have a wireless mouse, but no matter how much i try, even in the lowest sensibility its too quick for me, even once i used it for a week without even touching the touch pad, even so it still felt terrible

Any tips on how i can get used to using a mouse? Sure, OSU can be played with a mouse, i've been doing it for a bit, but there's a limit as too how much you can do, i've noticed a lot of the "pro" players who do vides about OSU once in a while do touchpad "challenges" and even being the amazing players they are they find themselves feeling uncomfortable/complaining , you run out of space in the touch pad a lot, it has a lot of problems, i thought it was about time i switched to the mouse..

uh... I would say just stop using the touchpad for general use as well as osu!, and switch over to mouse completely. You'll get the hang of it in no time.
That, or switch over to a tablet (it's a bit more intuitive than a mouse).

When using mouse, be sure to turn off 'enhance mouse precision' in your mouse settings. Don't get used to the acceleration like I did.

This.
And if you wanna get better, just keep playing. You'll get better over time. :D

Try to use keyboard for a click. It works.

Play more! 254 plays is not enough.

Unless your mouse is a gaming mouse, having a wireless mouse is going to impair your play (if it's laser, it's probably also going to impair you a bit). If you have the money, I'd suggest upgrading to a good optical mouse like the Logitech G400 or G400s.

And yeah, no matter what mouse you have, disabling the 'enhance pointer precision' option and setting your pointer speed to the middle setting (6/11) in the Windows control panel will help out immensely. And practice comes before all else.

Question. What does enhanse pointer precistion do to impair your game?

Makes muscle memory become out of the equation. Since the speed of the mouse determines how fast your cursor goes, it becomes pretty variable, however with it off, it becomes linear (well of course every mouse has a tiny tiny bit of acceleration) and allow more accurate movements.

Not quite. Although 99% of mice have a small percent of acceleration, there are a couple of optical mice that have been labelled as mice with 'flawless' sensors and lack any sort of acceleration up to their max tracking speeds (which, for some mice, are beyond human capability).
I generally like to link this pic when giving advice about purchasing a mouse with a good sensor, but it lacks a couple of details (such as limitations or flaws of each mouse) and is a bit outdated, so it doesn't have mice like the new optical version of the Roccat Kone Pure.
Raiken-
And, use the most suitable or comfrotable mouse for you.
