I have got a tablet recently, and I saw lots of threads about tablet areas (most of them of Bamboo 460), and seeing what people use different tablet areas, i don´t really know how to see what´s the best tablet area for me, i have this currently:

Its only Force Proportions activated, so i don´t know what area i should choose or play with this area because i never used a tablet before D:

Thanks

The problem i have is making a area for fullscreen makes it impossible because is very hard for me to reach sides and corners (because the USB device for connect it IS VERY VERY SHORT and i can´t, so i´ve tried with windowed but when i adjust the area for fit it in the window the area itself automatically goes to a corner of the monitor and i can´t center it

in theory the bigger the area the better because more margin for error because you artificially make the circles bigger, but in practice it comes down to your grip and movement. if you cant reach the corners, get a smaller area.

Force Proportions -> Proporciones de Fuerza

*facepalm* wtf couldn't Wacom hire better english-spanish translators? Geez...

Anyway... the area you should probably use depends on your pen-grip and whether you drag or hover. You may need a smaller area if you hold the pen close to the tip and/or drag. Hovering and holding the pen high will allow you to reach farther and play with a bigger area.

I'd say that if your cursor shakes wildly when you play it means a bigger area would benefit you.

People have different hands, so they require different areas

Now i had this area for like one day, and it´s working very well for me, but sometimes i touch the tablet with the pen because im not really used to the tablet.

If you want to area of cth-460 or 470 full area, use:
Top: 0
Bottom: 8612
Left: 1572
Right: 13983

I use Windowed resolution 1366x768

But most of the time, use what feels best.

Then it's time to actually get used to the new area as it worked for you! Give it at least a week! You're almost there!
...now I bet some responses below would be to increase tablet area. You all say it doesn't matter right?

Important: Disable tablet tap by pressing F10 to not interfere with keyboard taps

I have the exact same tablet, started with the smallest possible area size, after 2 weeks I thought like, wow great works damn pretty well so for.

Then I´ve written with some ppl, suggesting using full area and hover the pen instead of dragging it, WobWoofWolf, rrtyui and most other high geniuses are using the full tablet area and use a small window mode for osu.

It´s tricky the first thew days but I improved my skills like crazy in only 3 days by changing the settings to full area, hovering the pen and using a window with the size 1024x....

just try it out, your accuracy will rise like ryze in low elo hell
