No, just always hover the nib about 0.5 cm above the surface. This gives you no friction and is one of the main pro's of playing on a tablet.
You also spin hovering.
You also spin hovering.
You know I started using tablet at around rank 70k and now that I'm rank 7.5k, I still have trouble consistently hovering. I occasionally tap accidentally on the tablet but not very hard. Get used to hovering, if you don't want to keep replacing pen tips and have less performance.

Flying tablets? Damn.. what century did I wake up in this time?
Holy hover tablet 
Who cares about spinners, really.

They cost hardly anything though.Frostei wrote:
People who don't hover pretty much burn through all their pen nibs pretty damn fast
i mostly drag on my tablet and there is hardly any damage done to the tablet and i never had to change the pen nib as it doesn't even show a sign of being worn out. but i know that most tablets are getting worn out pretty quick if you are dragging. but if you don't like to hover then there are tablets out there that doesn't get worn out so quick i've used mine for half a year now
i don't hover ( i tap) and you don't even need a nib to use a pen
for those who did not know the signal comes from the pen itself, so it does not matter whether you have a nib or not.

If you have massive trouble w/ hovering, you can always just disable the mouse buttons
Well in my case i have them disabled but sometimes the problem really is that the pen taps against the tablet and it slides so it gets me off aim and i dont really intend to even touch the tablet. That´s why im changing my pen grip atm..
I think 'dragging' is too harsh of a word I've dragged for months and I've never had to replace a nib, not as of yet anyway. I can hover, I just have a habit of putting my nib down on the tablet while playing faster maps e.e It's more of a light touch than a draaag..

I use the eraser end of the pen to drag. I also put my mouse mat over my tablet. No damage whatsoever.Frostei wrote:

It's not 100% false. It varies from person to person. I personally burnt through most of my nib after a few days when I got my tablet. You can't say it's completely false just because it doesn't happen to you.Pettanko wrote:

this whole thread is an opinion battle. It's kind of hard to get into this topic...
that said, i hover 100% spinning streaming jumping doesnt matter. Although im more likely to accidentally tap during long, fast jumps like at the end of shotgun senorita, which can cost me the entire play if mouse buttons are enabled.

It does vary from person to person. And it comes down to other factors as well. There are differences between nibs, and how long people keep wearing down a nib before exchanging it for a new one.Rewben2 wrote:

I personally find myself pressing the pen down pretty hard (especially when I'm nervous), yet I've only needed to change the nib once in the around 10k plays I've done on my tablet.
I haven't played much with my tablet (extremely few plays) but from the few times I've tried, hovering feels a bit unnatural to me. Maybe I just expected to use a tablet/pen like I would with pen on paper (i.e. 'drag')...
in my experience of ~1.5 years hover and about 1-2 months drag, the main advantage of dragging as opposed to hovering is it allows your cursor to be somewhat stable even when you get extremely nervous while playing

i don't know where you learn this but what is hovering? you use your pinkie to touch the tablet instead?
but if you look at here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEuiXYtF2O4 0:45-0:55 you see that he is not even touching the pad but yet the pointer is spinning very fast
