Tapping issue that I cant get rid of

A problem recently came across. In the past (maybe like 120-180 playhours ago) I always dealt with tapping problems. I alternate with ring and index finger on a hyperX keyboard with red switches.

But before that I always had problems with tapping speed and fingercontrol. I was frustrated as hell but after many hours of playing my tapping became better with speed and control after I changed to the keyboard I mentioned and changed to ring+index alt tapping. from there, it only goes all the way up with my skill. Only that a way bigger problem appears where im stuck right now.

First of all, I alternate only. jumps, streams or whatever else there is. It was always easy and comfy for me until a few days ago. it became really really difficult for me to perform jumps and even simple patterns that arent jumps. It also became hella uncomfy to alternate overall for me. Literally out of nowhere after all that I reached it just stops. I wouldnt describe it as fingerlocking. Its just that alternating and doing jumps or other patterns became very heavy and drains more stamina than usual. Even streams just dont feel comfy at all. When I try to alt jumps I press heavier that my middle finger that I dont even use just starts pressing the key between my other 2 keys that I use with ring+index. Im not able to play maps anymore that I can normaly play with ease. So I got worse overall cus of this issue. Sooooo I tried hybrid alternating. I can press and play with single tapping some parts but my alternating when trying to perform streams or burst just doesnt feel right. I tried many many other things, like switching fingers, keys, tapping techniques and more. But nothing works for me even when I try for a while or hard enough. Even when I practice single tapping, I wanna use alternating no matter what. Thats literally how I grew with this game.

I cant imagine myself only single tapping like Lifeline or whoever single taps only.

I will of course continue playing in hope that this problems goes away like with my other tapping problems I had. But I have a really huge feeling that it wont be easy or go away anytime soon. How I said, im not able to play anymore like I used to. I became worse.

im not asking for excatly for ^help but for experiences. I really wanna know that im not the only person who has this issue. from yesterday to today and ur tapping doesnt work anymore like a machine suddendly broke.

Is this normal? Can I somehow fix it overtime? Do somebody had this issue before? Should I just change to hybrid alternating and see if it somehow works out? How would you deal with it when such a issue gets you?

too make it short, I want to know what other players think. Or what they would do in this situation when you just fell into a big hole and are stuck even when u are completly aware of the problem WHILE playing.

Perhaps it's because your tapping ability finally caught up with your skill, so now it's a matter of meshing the two together again? Or something? Like, now that the two are mostly in line, now it's a matter of just getting it to work, and that might take longer than you want (even if it's been 120-180 playhours already).


Beyond that, idk.

(also, "can't get rid of" not "off")

It sounds like your straining your tapping hand which can lead to the problem you're describing.

I only have two tips for you is to take a break or try relaxing your alternate tapping forcefully.

Problem is how im supposed to tap when streams appear? I can force myself to tap relaxed and lighter but it doesnt work with streaming. im really confused. And if I tap with force it doesnt work either. I dont know how to tap light whem streaming or overall when streaming.

I think 99% of people can stream, the problem is going fast enough.
Try playing the streams you struggle with at lower BPM's. osu trainer or mcosu is good for this
Would you say it's a speed issue (not being able to tap fast enough) or a stamina issue (not being able to maintain a speed)?

This was a chapter I was struggling with in the past. I was able to tap fast and maintain speed. Both of these skills were improving. How I said before, now my fingercontrol or whatever u wanna call it, dropped. I cant alternate or even tap anymore. Its like I dont know how it works anymore. Speed and Stamina is another thing that doesnt really has much to do with my current problem.

Did you take a break?

No, well not breaks that last weeks or months. Right now I dont play everyday like I used to. Now I take breaks that are just going a day or a few days. I dont really know why breaks are something special. Its not like u return and everything is gone and u spike ur skill up. Its more like u just continue where u stopped. Or i am wrong? I mean u can just look it up on my profile and decide for urself if I play too often and need a break.

Tapping speed and tapping stamina is one of the abilities that rust the fastest in my experience.
If you want to perform good consistently, you have to play consistently as well. So in your case I think it's important to play once every two days. So one day where you play, then the next day you don't play (that might fit better with your schedule idk). Playing every day would be optimal obviously, but you can still improve by playing less frequently.
