Hello everyone. I thought this was something I'd like to talk about for my first forum post.
Last year I tried becoming a Tablet player since i didn't have my pc setup at the time and had to resort on playing on my laptop on my bed. I've always wanted to play osu and Playing on a tablet (inconsistently honestly) was the most comfortable way of me playing osu I always wanted to play osu when i was 13(im 18 now) but never had the time or a decent kind of pc to even try to, so i stuck to being an xbox kid growing up. During my birthday (this march) I was going to buy a gaming pc since i always wanted one. my mother was nice enough to help me rather than witness my bank accouunt take the biggest bullet to endure yet.

unnoticeable tense

Since I got my pc. I thought playing with a tablet(im left handed) would be easier since it's more recogniseable to me but I noticed that I'm accurate but my tapping with my right hand is actually really bad.. I decided to switch to being a mouse player which was definitely the best option rather than forcing myself to play osu with a pen in my right hand which could propably work but it was just too uncomfortable for me.

I noticed that when i play in general, I somehow tense up not just my arm, but my entire hand when moving the mouse. I know it's just probably me taking the game a little too serious since im literally clawing the mouse but it's improving my accuracy. is their any way you guys go around the buildup of tension in your body? I do have fingerless arthritis gloves but i don't know if it'll be a big help. I'd love to hear people's ways of not tensing up or panicking mid gameplay!

This is just a speculation though, but I think it came from the habit of playing with a controller. Both controller and mouse share a pretty similar way to grip them. But the grip strength when using them is different from one another. You need to hold a controller in the air, which need a greater grip strength in order to not drop it to the ground. And the thing with a controller is you need to hold it with both hands. And from what I know when playing with a controller seriously both hands will press against each other. And your brain thinks the mouse is a controller and executes your controller habit.

If so, then I suggest you play easier maps (you can use HR if you think the AR is too slow) or maps that you have played a lot, so you don't need a lot of focus when playing. Hope you find this helpful, have a nice day.

Does this also happen when you used to play with tablet or it's just a common thing?
