Holding Tablet Pen with non-dominant hand

Has anyone tried this playstyle before? As in holding pen with weak hand and tapping with dominant.

For reference I'm a left handed player that tried tablet but swapped back to mouse+kb about a year ago because my right hand was just that awful at tapping. After months of playing burst maps (no way I could play stream) I could barely stream 160 BPM, in regards to actual long streams I couldn't even do 150 BPM. Mouse+kb did feel way more comfortable than that playstyle but the trade off now is that I'm not as consistent with jump aim, but my streaming is so much better. My right hand just cannot keep up, I only realised just how bad it was when I tried playing taiko and basically found that my non-streaming hand could comfortably outtap my right hand by a huge margin.

People who use this playstyle, how do you find it? I don't think I'm going to swap to it yet, but wanna see if it's viable for if I keep skillwalling.

Ngl this playstyle feels uncomfortable for me because your dominant hand is always the hand that has to move the most, not the other hand. My stream ability is still the same, but for my aim it's another story lol

That's what I thought it might be like unfortunately :/ It feels like a lose/lose. My left hand has years of practice holding and using pens but also has years of practice alternate tapping from other games I've played in the past.

I might consider the playstyle if I have absolutely no option to improve in the future, which I'm definitely nowhere near that downbad yet.

It's pretty common for a player to change their playstyle if they feel like they can do better with another. Sometimes, changing things can make things better so I definitel recommend!
