relax mode can be good for focusing aim. try playing maps 1-2 stars higher difficulty than the standard difficulty you play at on relax mode (preferrably a jumpy map) to practice aiming. HT is also an option, and since HT makes the map longer it somewhat helps practice stamina too
a tip I could give is maybe try watching the specific area of the screen where you hit the jumpy circles instead of watching the whole screen. focusing on an area of the screen helps you more accurately hit circles in that area, while hinders you from seeing things outside the area of the screen. eventually youll get the hang of it and start hitting jumpier patterns.
ultimately its just practice practice practice
Maybe it depends on each player, but I wouldn't recommend using relax for anything other than relaxing. The thing with aiming is that it's very much tied together with your tapping hand, and using relax means just grazing the note will let you hit it. In actual gameplay, you have to make sure your cursor is over the note at the time you're tapping, which relax will not help you with at all. This might result in more fling-cursor-around rather than actually getting better at aiming.
Reading each note individually or breaking them up into 2 or 3 notes at a time helps, but there's nothing wrong with reading patterns as a whole either, as long as it works out for you. Maybe it's because I started playing quite a while ago, but I still rely on pattern recognition a lot when reading, rather than reading individual notes. Other than that, play some jumpy maps (that you enjoy playing regardless of what you do. Jump training maps tend to get boring after a while. It really helps a lot if you're playing mostly because you enjoy the song/map, and the training part is secondary. This way getting better never becomes a chore, and is mostly just an added bonus to having fun.) and watch your own replays afterwards to see what it is you're doing wrong (are you misaiming? moving your cursor away too fast from the note? Tapping too early/late? Stuff like that) and then try play the same map again, but use what you learned to readjust yourself on the jumps you just missed. If you hit them, remember the feeling of how your hand moved and syncronized with each other. One thing that helps building muscle memory is doing it right, and then remembering how to do it, as opposed to just playing a bunch of maps and hope your hand just gets better after a while from doing the wrong thing over and over.
Alternatively, grind tag4's until you win.
Edit: If you can't disable aero in windows (which you can't in w8 or w10 afaik) you need to run osu! in fullscreen. You can use letterboxing while in fullscreen anyway, so latency shouldn't be a problem.
