i dont think that guide is as effective for osu as it is for typing. i cant go as fast with the "right" angle as i can with the one on the bottom right.Ichi wrote:
1) True story, if you feel strain or pain make sure you follow that simple guide.
2) Don´t stress and do not stiffen up too much while playing
3) If some part of your body is hurting or uncomfortable try and change your positioning until you feel it stops, even if your gameplay skills decrease (you´ll get used to it eventually)
4) It´s just a game and not something worth hurting yourself in the long term, you probably love this game more than you do your hands now but in some years you´ll be wishing you didn´t.
Add that to your guide, and yes i suppose he´s trying to help people who are/have suffered some pain from playing the game and maybe believe that they will get used to it, uncomfortable is good and your body can get used to that, but pain is another thing SO STOP PLAYING IF YOU FEEL PAIN.
it amazes me how much top stepmania players demolish their keyboard with the force of their taps when they play.laishiou wrote:
i think the one case i would work recommend working through the songs rather then quitting due to pain is with a marathon mania and more so for 4k then anything else, stamina training is generally needed at higher levels of osu mania ._. i understand that this is not directed at osumania however the topic question was generalised so i thought i would add this, as ichi had stated, in this game mode you want to try and play as relaxed as possible of course you can never be completely relaxed, this is more so important at the higher levels for managing fast patterns physically
Of course it is... hand positioning in relation to the keyboard has only one meaning. It´s not an osu! speed tapping guide, its just a guide that lets you know how to place your hands correctly on a keyboard so if your typing or using it alot you won´t hurt yourself. And that´s why i said, changing a position won´t make you bettter, on the contrary you will feel slower but you have to know that the right position is worth giving up a bit of speed (which you´ll end up getting back when you get used to the change)Bassist Vinyl wrote:

well you know the simplest things are sometimes the hardest to see... If it was such common sence then why do we have people suffering from hand strains over and over? i don´t think they where completely fine and the next day they suffered from carpal tunnel or whatever, you must go through alot of numbness and keep playing for that to happen.piruchan wrote:

Pretty much. Hand position does count, but as you get better at using it, you'll naturally figure out what you need to do to play well, and it's not always what you think (like using a bad posture).Ichi wrote:

they're more durable so your problem is theoretically fixedDefault wrote:
I suck at this game (1500pp lol) and I've already broken three keys because I smash my leyboard really hard when singletapping faster maps, what should I do? I keep trying to not hit the keys too hard but I just can't control it, I feel like I am going to screw up my fingers in a few months. Should give mech keyboards a try? Idk if the are softer or harder to use, but I've read they have some sort of tactile feedback which sounds quite useful.
On the other hand I don't have a lot of money and it would be a waste if it doesn't fix my problem. What do you think?
Wtf that correct arm/wrist position is ridiculous. If I do that for more than 30 seconds I get pins and needles and my whole arm goes numb.Ichi wrote:

It's been that way for as long as I can remember and I don't see how it'd be any different for anyone else; how is that supposed to be the most suitable, what

Normal pressure of the carpal tunnel has been defined as a range of 2–10 mm, and wrist flexion increases this pressure 8-fold, while extension increases it 10-fold.
I would say the type of pain you are feeling determines the answer to this question. If it's just the burning pain you get after streaming for longer periods than you are accustomed to, I wouldn't tell someone to just stop playing from that. Pressing through that is how you build up more stamina in the first place. If someone were to stop immediately as soon as they felt that burn, the increase in stamina would be ridiculously slow. It's the same reason working out hurts. You're pushing your muscles beyond the point they are used to being pushed. However, when it comes to a point where the pain continues after a 20-30 second break, it's time to wrap up the playing session. At that point the muscles need to heal and rebuild, and when they do, BOOM. More stamina. Rinse and repeat.Bauxe wrote:

Nah, you are fine. Genetics is an important factor there; some people may get RSI quite easily while other people never get it even if they play more.pkhg wrote:
