When you got the tablet, be aware that the feeling would be very different, and getting used to the feeling needs time.
Adjusting your tablet area to make the feeling somewhere close to when you were using mouse would definitely help you adjust faster.
Then it's about tablet area.
If you find that
small area works good for you, then you may wanna
drag your pen on the tablet while playing. Since small area is easier on jumps, dragging would increases precision in flows (Think about writing or drawing). In order to do that, you'll need to disable mouse button in gameplay, which could be accessed by pressing F10. If you see someone presses M1 button in the beginning and towards the end of a breaktime and the M1 button was not pressed afterwards, then you can tell that he is using this skill, since breaktime is not considered as gameplay, the "disable mouse button" doesn't work then, so if that guy drags when playing, the M1 key is only gonna show pressed during the breaks.
If you prefer
large area, then
hovering works perfectly, since large area has quite good precision, you'll wanna hang your pen to reach the jumps. You'll need time to get used to the distance, so that your pen won't get too far away for the tablet to detect it.
Both of the setting preferences have remarkable players, it's just a personal preference, so find the one that suits you the best.
The only real advantage of hovering is that
you can use tapx to pass some hard streams (but only the ones require high speed but little aiming) when
hovering, but
you can't do it when
dragging. The fact is that this skill/trick is hardly ever used, so it doesn't make significant differences.
