Hai
I have a huge problem . I'm improving (very slow) on OSU! and I reached a level where streams become very fast .
The problem is that my keyboard (Spirit of gamer XPERT-K9) is bad for OSU! . I mean keys are soooooo hard to press and have a lot of travel time . That mean I have to SMASH it to make it works . So when I stream my finger's tip are on fire , and at higher stream speed i can't smash fast enough ...
Is there some way to stream faster ? Or should I take a mechanical keyboard to at least make my finger hurt less and maybe improve ?
I can train a lot , the problem is not here , the problem is even if i stream every days for one month it won't change anything .
There is two solutions :
Maybe I do things bad ? Like my hand is on a bad position or something ?
Or maybe it's my keyboard that is the problem ?

If that's coming from me could someone tell me how can I fix the problem ? Like which are the most common wrist stance ?

Well, I went from streaming 200 to 240 just by changing the posture of my hands but that's because they were really, really bad before. Make sure your fingers don't go back further than they need to. I.e. they should never bend back past making a straight line with the rest of your hand. Try to observe how others do it. Here's the video I watched that really helped me: https://youtu.be/BJy1-5srKY8?t=3m48s (for the first 3 and a half minutes he's just showing off. It's nice to look at his hand posture though, I suppose.)

More than anything though, you probably just need practice =P

I watched the video and my stance is absolutely not the same as his stance . I don't think his stance is the best one that everybody should use but I think if I compare mine to his one I can understand that mine is so bad lol

For those wo wanna see and tell me what is wrong here is the picture

I'm used to play like this but maybe it's a very bad stance ? I'm using S D buttons

I never said that "his stance is the best one that everybody should use" but it is a good example of one that is of good posture and works very well.

Your fingers look very tense, try relaxing them. Tbh, yours doesn't look very different from his. You just need to relax and practice some more. A mechanical keyboard might help with stamina, but not speed.

Well that's gonna be really hard since my keys are very hard to press , i'm gonna try to press them but not at the maximum , like just enough to send to my computer that the key is pressed . It's gonna be hard because i'm not used to play like this but maybe after one or two weeks it will be better ? thanks for your answer

Doesn't look like your keyboard is too much of an issue looking at it.

Play more.

Buy a mechanical keyboard. I recommend reds, maybe browns.

Reached a level where streams become very fast? I don't think so. I can't even stream properly.

You don't need a mechanical keyboard, though most people will recommend one. All you need is a good keyboard, and that's very important: I'd rather spend my money on a good dome keyboard than waste it on a bad mechanical keyboard, which will probably come with shit switches, whose durability will be nil and will be overall unreliable

To learn streaming, first learn the technique and start slow. Once that's done, stream more

Try practicing streams. Buy a better keyboard. We also have a sticky for this topic.
