How will osu know I am using the mouse over a tablet?
The reason why separate leaderboards are impossible
As I said before, it doesn't matter if osu is "smart" enough to determine what device you are using (although touch screen would be easy to determine). Just as osu isn't smart enough to detect multi accounting (to a degree), or what country you are really playing from (proxy anyone?), or what gender/age/keyboard/etc. Or if you want to be a paranoid and always worry about "is his profile really legit????" might as well assume every fast developing player is a smurf or multi-account till proven innocent if you're really that worried about even a player's input device.

So you're suggesting an acceptable solution is manually looking over everyone in said ranking? That sounds like a pretty bad solution to me.
Yeah well I disagree, that is the most reliable solution and till this day manual analysis has been the best solution to weed out cheaters even one's out of the top #10 global. Likewise if a new rising mouse star pops out of no-where a lot of players are not going to believe he is fair player, let alone a fair
mouse player. Which is why a lot of these new players post live play as evidence anyway, and there are many experienced players that always analyse shady replays.

Osu! should have separate leaderboards to make the ranking at least fair enough...
I don't think dissecting the global performance rank into separate input device groups is necessary. A simple input device column with sorting option would suffice. And I did not bring this up as a matter of fairness, but more as a matter of convenience. I personally don't mind racing against tablet players, it doesn't really matter to me as I know tablet always has the advantage. I just want to know what the mouse player ranks are, instead of manually maintaining a monthly updated one. And sorting through thousands of profiles which no-one has time for and I will never do that lol.
