Just curious because I used to play Fullscreen but now I play Windowed because for some reason I experience lag when I play fullscreen even though my graphics card and CPU should be able to handle it easily.

Fullscreen just because I like seeing the entire game on my slightly big monitor.

I don't have an exact measurement, but mine is probably anywhere from 60-80cm diagonal.

I prefer Fullscreen because when it's windowed, it can get annoying. Especially when I accidentally open another app when I'm playing a map.

Even though it's a bit harder than windowed (clicking circles), I will always use fullscreen no matter what. <3

First i played on Fullscreen, and when im watching osu videos on youtube i see them using windowed so i tried it. I thought the circle size was too small and my aim isn't that good then i returned to full screen

windowed because it was the default setting and i never bothered changing it.

also dont have to alt tab if i want to do something else for a second.

Fullscreen because size matters.

Fullscreen because tablet gameplay is better on fullscreen as I set the area to be optimised for fullscreen.

Windowed so I can see skype messages a lot easier.

Fullscreen
- 1280x720 standard
- 1024 x 768 for ctb

Why fullscreen? More FPS. Oh, btw, i have button on my monitor it can be both 16:9 and 4:3. I use 4:3 for ctb only

fullscreen because windowed moders are most likely trying to be good because they saw someone do it

windowed because I used to use fullscreen on my tiny 1366x768 laptop and I'm carrying over the measurements to my big monitor.

Borderless ( so yeah... fullscreen) so i'm focused in the game and not getting distracted by another windows or pop ups from skype for example

fullscreen, never even tried windowed.

Windowed. When i was new to the game i watched an episode of the osu!academy(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8fpJKCjTvM)
where ztrot mentioned the fact that you have to move around less with a smaller window.

Since then i've been used to it and whenever i try fullscreen nowadays everything feels too big and far apart.
-Atri-
Windowed, my tablet is too huge and I don't wanna buy a new one, yet
JohnnyKnoxville
Windowed when I'm playing Taiko and Mania, because I just prefer it that way
Full screen when I'm playing Standard, because my mouse moves too fast in windowed mode, even though raw input is activated
BlackGoldSaw
Fullscreen. I never play anything any other way, unless I don't have a choice. I have terrible ADHD, so if there is something else to catch my attention, it will.
HootOwlStar
windowed. it aids in window switching which is necessary to me + less lags are experienced while playing

Fullscreen, I can't play Osu! windowed. It's just something in my head that doesn't allow me playing that game windowed.
Bubby Cat
Windowed because my monitor is fairly big
Axon
Windowed for raw input xd

I like to play in fullscreen mode.

Also, I like to keep the resolution in a 4:3 aspect ratio. It helps when you need to spin, and also the playfield is limited to a square anyway. I think this gives it an advantage.

Fullscreen, so I can focus.
Adorn
Windowed, full area tablet.
MacHertZ
windowed,because my computer is too slow to run in full screen mode... :( (so I am going to assemble a new one)
jyling
Fullscreen ,because each time the windows switch wallpaper my latency became over 300, but it doesn't happen on fullscreen and also I am more accurate when on fullscreen

Fullscreen; Windowed offers no benefit that I can see in my case and also introduces any window manager latency into the mix.
