You can be a fantastic player using just a mouse. In my personal opinion it's harder to use a mouse than a tablet, but I'm also heavily biased (having used a tablet for years and also being left-handed with a right-handed mouse).

Even being the case that I'm left-handed, I still made it up to 4* maps with a mouse before switching, and that's a major handicap. I eventually switched because I couldn't do spinners (of all the things to be bad at...)

If you're more comfortable with a mouse, or if you don't have money for a tablet, keep using a mouse. If you ever want to switch, there will be a certain period where you'll have to get used to a tablet, but the reading skill and tapping ability will still be there, so you'll catch up much faster than you would otherwise.

???

Even apart from the actual answer being "No" which is probably not what you wanted to say, you still ignore the fact that we were taught during our whole lives to use pens for drawing. So there's really no reason to use a mouse in that scenario. Meanwhile we've used mice and computers in junction close to forever.

Is tablet really necessary?
No. But it's still better than mouse.

I'm really good with mouse and keyboard
Also lol. If that were the case, why would you switch?

From experience, I can tell you that when you are trying to get new players to get hooked the game, "mouse-only" is the way to go. It helps them to learn the mechanics of the game early on.

Tablet carried me to 5k until I stopped being able to progress because there's no equivalent broken method for tapping

Saying tablet is necessary is very 'subjective'.

I wouldn't exactly say that it's needed, I personally own both a 15$ mouse and a wacom tablet.

I prefer tablet for jumping but I wouldn't say it's good for snapping. Mouse is very comfortable for snapping, but for jumps sometimes you can feel some limitations. If I were to be honest with you, I'd say that using mouse until you feel that you have a limitation for jumps and snapping is like 2nd nature.

When that happens, try using tablet in your friend's house or buy it on ebay for like 20$.

Have fun ^^ ~ The Actor

Most mouse sensors are not very accurate. And most mice with good sensors have terrible shapes/weight.

Could you afford a tablet?
If yes, then why not buy one?

Also, Deathadder master race. The only good Razer product to be exact.

The clicks are the best too.

no
also considering where you are from, it's not "mouse or tablet" that you should worry, but how to hide your identity and make sure you don't get caught by the police to be executed.

It's necessary if you want to be able to set the best scores you possibly can.

If you haven't really made any real progression with mouse and are willing to purchase a tablet then I don't see why not. It's not like you have anything to lose (except your dollarydoos)

Of course it's not necessary. If it's necessary, everyone will be using a tablet by now.
