I play Z/X, and I first try SS'd a five star map on one occasion.

Go figure.

Personally, I change my controls from time to time.
When I first wake up, I use Left+Right mouse buttons,
But when I actually know what I'm doing, I use Z+X
All in all, I find Z+X to be better.
But it's just an opinion afterall.

I prefer using X+Y, coz I'm holding my mouse like a baddie. Impossible for me to use mouse to click >:

when streaming i alternate left click with numpad 5( im lefthanded) 8-) , pretty weird haha :P i think im the only one :P

I like the mouse and finally got myself to realize there was a right click button so I use that most of the time but every once in a while I use Z+X (which will probably change to D+F) just to get the hang of it so I can switch from mouse to keyboard with ease.

I used mouse click before, then I trained to use z/x.
It's better to hit streams and keep my mouse steady

I play with A/X.

When I discovered osu, I found very strange the fact that it is playable with Z/X (because, well, I didn't know it was for a QWERTY keyboard :D On a French AZERTY keyboard, Z/X is like W/X on a QWERTY). I have tried A/X (Q/X on an AZERTY) and I never changed since. Furthermore, I think that Z/X are too close each other.

Before reading this, I didn't actually know you could use the Z/X key in normal mode (I thought it was Taiko exclusive).

Then I tried it... it's a lot more relaxing on my right hand, at the very least. I'll have to go over some of my old maps to see which is better for me. I'm not sure which is better for my hardware; I get the feeling mice in general are more durable for repeated clicks, and I can replace it more easily and cheaply then my keyboard (on a laptop).

Also, how do you hold your mouse? Pointer on left click, middle finger on right? Or pointer on left, middle finger on scroll wheel, ring finger on right?

Has the conclusion that using only the mouse is the only legit play method been reached yet?

If not, then lemme conclude: using only the mouse is the only legit play method.

Keyboard players, Lrn2Mouse.

I disagree, for reasons so obvious I'd rather not explain.

I use left click for regular beats, both mouse buttons for stacks, and Z/X for streams.
I had a go with a tablet but my hands shake too much. :(
GabrielRKF
I never click with the mouse. Just Z and X

You really shouldn't question the improbable. It's not impossible, keyboard players are so used to playing the easy way it's difficult for them to learn to play legit.
Randy96
the legit way would most likely be tablet or touchscreen, seeing as that osu! is an EBA/Ouendan simulator

But keyboard IS legit.

Some of the top mouse users are mouse + keyboard.

I hope you are trolling, but have you noticed that the game itself has a default configuration where Z = Left Click and X = Right Click?

Or kills a better game? I think it's easier to click all those circles with mouse than with only keyboard but anyways mouse + keyboard here.

Alt + space :3

Yes, I've noticed that, and that's horrible. If there wasn't that configuration and the same scores were still achieved, that's something much more praiseworthy cuz it's actually skillful.

Somehow, you can't say the same about TaikOsu! though.

mouse ftw? :]

Hi!

I'm using mouse only but I want to practice mouse+keyboard because I think it's more logical.
But I don't have good accuracy with keyboard.

So I got a question for keyboard players :

Do you use mechanical keyboard (switch) or classical keyboard (rubber dome) ?
And what switch (cherry blue, brown, black) do you use ?

Thank you^^

EDIT : topic here

Mouse only. :D hehehe
daHool
I started to play with Mouse only and got pretty far with it if the beatmaps weren't to stream pested. But now I am training to use a combination of Mouse and Keyboard cause the streams are easier to hit with it but it's hard since i am so used to mouse only.

Also Mouse only is more comfortable since i smoke alot and need my left hand for holding the cigarette xD

Taking the easy way out?
I'm sure it's much more rewarding if you learn to hit the streams with mouse only.
Kciaar
I'm using keyboard and mouse, i use keyboard for longer streams, because i can do streams like 2-3 on my mouse, when streams are longer i would fail with only mouse.

Mouse clicking!
It makes my hand feel strong.

Infact, until reading this post, I didn't even know you could use the keyboard.

Mouse all the way.
Keyboard feels like it's having a big latency, and mouse responds faster.

I used to be a rmb/lmb clicker and got pretty far with that setup.
It's not like anything is that much of a problem given a large amount of practice, but whenever a beatmap gets at a certain intensity inevitably it's gonna get in your way.
Fact is that clicking is majorly crippling to mouse-control and maps such as kirby mixes, and also any insane/lunatic map with focus on streaming or jumping, are much simpler once you're accustomed to x/z. The only thing I miss about clicking is that I didn't have to use my lousy left hand for anything :lol:

I also recommend trying hybrid play (click/x), unless you've got a tablet. It's darn difficult, but mastering it would give you a huge potential at streaming.
Kokizi
I use both, keyboard for streams and mouse for sliders and spinners. I also use mouse if the song isn't that hard.
