Hey all (alot to read if u read ily <3), basically for a majority of my osu career i have played index ring (used index middle when i frst started probably for like 50 hrs) having the ring finger as my main finger which i single tap with. The more i progressed thru maps i slowly started realising that my ring finger speed couldnt keep up cause that finger scientifically is just much slower than the index and middle so i had 3 options learn alt, single tap with index, or switch to index middle i learned how to do all expect for alternating i am still a little bit rng when it comes to alternating i just alternate dt to the beat and hope i hit the circles rather than actually knowing when i click and i cant really start notes off my index finger but i can single tap with it. so i decided to swap back to traditional Index/Middle. I used this for about 2 weeks i noticed i was more comfortable with single tapping witg my middle finger and index and i could switch better fingers pretty well but just could not find any technique when it came to streaming of finger control like i just couldnt stream or didnt have finger control and finger locked so much and felt i had no control. So i decided to swap back to index ring which i can legit stream 3x faster with for like 5x as long (infinte stream maps could barley do 140bpm i switched to index ring could easily do infinite 180bpm streams) idk wether to just keep single tapping with the ring finger and im overlooking it or what to do because the only player i know that single taps with ring finger is btmc but btmc cant single tap high bpm with ring. i dont think theres any other players who tap with ring finger like an ivaxa or players with extrneely fast single tap control on index but instead on ring. suggestion please <3

Its because the middle finger and ring finger share the same tendons.

no i dont use middle, ring. I use Index Ring and Index Middle i was talking about both those play stylesCosmic03 wrote:

Maybe you could try tapping with the shift key or another long key, that way you can use middle for single tapping and switch to ring for streaming on the same key. IIRC Rafis did something similar, but I think he tapped with both his index and ring at the same time. Don't quote me on this though.
I'm pretty sure it's legal to bind mouse buttons to the keyboard, it might just be possible on later idk. That way you can do the same thing I said before but you don't need to tap on an awkward big key.

What? You've never seen someone play index ring/index middle? I think there's a bit of confusion here.Cosmic03 wrote:

As for OP, most fast singletappers tap more with their entire hand or even arm than their individual finger. I doubt it's much of a limitation to singletap with ring, quite frankly.
If you do want to switch (and again I don't know if you necessarily have to), then there's no shortcut I or anyone else can provide you with. You're going to have to switch and tough it out, you're not going to have the same finger control as you do on the playstyle you've used for most of your career. You're going to get bad acc on anything rhythmically complex but it's ok. You'll regain that comfort relatively quickly, as you likely already have some level of general, non-mechanical tapping fundamentals down, as well as a general idea of what technique you should have.
P.S. Please write in a way that's less rambly and maybe separate into paragraphs. As it is this post is awful to read.
ohhh do you mean the pointer finger? Mb i thought you were talking about pinky.Naiad wrote:

My suggestion was to use both index/ring and index/middle at the same time using 3 keys, or shift + z, because you said how both have different advantages and disadvantages.kayzy wrote:

When you single tap you use middle and occasionally index for whatever you need, and when you stream or need finger control you use index/ring. As long as you don't alternate between ring and middle this should be feasible. No idea if this would actually be good or not but it's just a suggestion you could try.

if this is allowed why not 1 less key
