Hey i have a question, i've been playing on mouse since i start the game and i bought a graphic tablet (one by wacom medium) but i struggle using it but idk if it because i'm too bad with or its just not for me, i'm using the area of mrekk cause i like it and i drag cause hover make my aim really really bad. Should i give more hours into graphic tablet or its just not for me and how can i improve fast with ? Tysm for reading

i believe it depends on how much time you have already dedicated to the tablet. If you bought it a few days ago, it would be interesting to try to adapt for at least 1 month and see if you have managed to improve since the first time you used it. But if you have been using it for at least a week and do not feel any progress, perhaps the tablet is not for you.

i'ved bought it like 1 month ago but in total of use it would be 3 hours lmaoo but yeah i should try put 1 month on it. Any tips to find area / playstyle (drag / hover) ?

you might be using completely differend motions to aim with the tablet, so it can be like learning how to ride a bike - you'll suck at first.

on the contrary, if you use the same motions, it could be super easy to switch. this can happen if you use arm aim, which translates to a large extent between tablet and mouse.

i learned tablet within 2 days and perfected my aim with 1 month (2 years mouse player)

i think the most daunting thing about learning tablet is finding a good grip that doesn't topple when you hit the edges of the screen and at the same time doesn't kill your fingers by deathgrip

Well firstly i would pick your own tablet area, whatever you feel is comfortable after trial and error, don't just copy mrekk. He uses what is comfortable for him, but that may not be the most comfortable for everyone else.

If you just got the tablet 2 days ago and never used one, it will still take some time to adjust to the hand-eye coordination that is quite different from mouse. But after this adjustment period, it'll hopefully become much easier using tablet than the mouse for you.

Buying the soft grip tape used for badminton/tennis rackets and wrapping it around your pen will help a lot with grip and comfort too.

tl;dr: just use it more

3 hours only? Keep trying it, you'll probably eventually prefer it for mouse.

just play what you like to play with. mouse and tablet are pretty much the same once you get used to it.

You will have to put more hours into playing with tablet. You'll suck at first, thats just how it is.

Also try an area that feels the best to you. Don't worry about changing it later. Once you become better, changing your area is gonna be way easier than now. Same goes with drag/hover.

I played with mouse for about a year + a couple of months. When I bought a tablet I first played on a very small area and was hovering. After some time I started having problems with my grip, and decided to enlarge my area. Some time after that I decided to try dragging and that's the state of things right now.

You can try top players's tablet areas, styles of grip etc. but at the end of the day, the best idea is experimenting and finding what fits you the best.
