Hold it in your hand.

Great idea, I'll try. No, seriously. While I hold the pen like this it is sometimes sliding out of my grip/feels really uncomfortable.boat wrote:

Go scavenge for an unused pen with one of those rubber grips. That hose should help with grip problems (if you can find one big enough)
Might feel awkward to hold at first but you'll get used to it. Helps in the long run, specially for long/marathon maps ;p

I have my pinky extended to keep the pen at a good hover distance from the pad so I don't stray in the middle of a song. My hand stays pretty much stationary. I find it easier to jump around the screen without moving my whole hand. I am new to the game, so take this with a grain of salt I suppose. I have tried a couple different ways, but this juxtaposition is what works best for me for the time being.
just hold it like a regular pen
Not everyone holds a pen the same way. I hold a regular pen between my index and middle fingers and move primarily with my fingers. With my tablet pen I move primarily from my elbow.jackishere wrote:

I used to hold it like that, only the pen would rest on my ring finger instead. I tried holding it the way you do one day, and never went back (can't say I really play any better or not, but it feels weird using my old method now).Arturxxx wrote:

Any other ways I should try?
