Sweaty Hands

Sometimes, when the song is so long and intense, or if it's just hot, my hand starts to sweat and that causes the pen to slide to the tip of my fingers, making it much more difficult to play (especially when the break is far away!).

I'm kinda assuming you all get this problem every now and then. What do you guys do?

Should I get a pen with better grip or is there no hope for me and my sweaty hands?

I just hold my pen in a very tight grip and that prevents it from moving. Then again, I don't sweat much, so our situations might be different.

I take 10mg of oxybutynin chloride every morning. It has helped

Don't get nervous. Being nervous = faster heartrate, higher stress, and perspiration.

That doesn't fit a tablet pen though, since the tablet pen if thicker. I guess you can molds it perhaps with some heat?

Anyways, try a desk fan pointing at your hand.

I was thinking about trying to this out, but the problem that you just stated came to mind. Definitely gonna try a desk fan though.

I couldn't find that specific brand in America, but I'm pretty sure I found the equivalent. It was pretty cheap so I went ahead and ordered it. I hope it works out well.

air conditioning, fan, less clothing, you're sitting on a chair moving your hands this is not physically intensive enough to warrant your heart to go doki doki and sweat sphagetti

you do realise sweating is an involuntary body function, do you not?

in my opinion one of the only things that makes osu hard is tensing up and being nervous, if he had a problem with his palms/hands sweating he would have known about it before playing osu

Being tense allows me to snap extremely quickly which is the entire basis of my aim which is the only thing I'm good at.

not sure about how you can even have an opinion as to what causes sweating when said reasons are already known

but yes, physical and/or mental stress is one of the things that can cause sweating

keyword being one. it's nowhere near being the only one, that's just common sense

and he did not mention not having problems elsewhere

That's interesting! I am able to move quickly but my aim goes down tremendously, when I'm tense.

I do play for fun, though.

Being tense is terrible for the long run because of RSI

I singletapped 260+ and streamed 240+ for about an hour straight with maps these last few days. Still no RSI.

Something tells me you don't realise I need to tense my wrist and arm to do that speed.
