At first, there was no Z/Xing to tap circles with, so, in blasphemy, it literally was, "click the circles". We had this old Logitech mouse that was like from the early 2000s to play osu! with. As my sister purchased a Wacom Bamboo Fun, I just wanted to try playing osu! with it. This was probably around mid-2008. By late 2008, I played on a Vista computer my parents purchased, which came with your standard HP mouse and keyboard. Those worked for years, until that mouse's clicking got eaten up. When All-In-One computers were getting to the market, I just had to try osu! out with them, and took my game on a USB and played on display computers in stores without trying to get caught. xD
I actually was one of the first 500 for the osu!tablet shipment, but at that moment, I primarily used it for drawing. I have a Wacom Intuos CTL480 now, but that's also used only for drawing – no osu!playing whatsoever. Just gotta stick to that mouse and keyboard combo. Can't teach an old dog new tricks otherwise.
I have also tried those keypad controllers, which helped satiate my curiosity for mechanical keys too.
