Most of my closest friends are using tablet and are already godlike with it. I already asked someone using PM, but i am still skeptical of how it will help me. Rather than spend it now, I really need to know which choice is better.

(note: also, is it good for sorta low-ranked guys like me?)

Getting a tablet is not a guaranteed way to improve. I would suggest borrowing a tablet from one of your friends for a weekend or something like that to test it out and see if you even like it before you decide whether or not you want to invest money into a random video game

Tell me Wheein isn't gorgeous and see what happens

It's preference, you can ask to borrow tablet from your friend for week, and see yourself if you're gonna like it.

Eh try to get good at aiming with mouse first...
Make sure mouse precision mode is OFF in windows
Don't even consider switching until you total 1500pp bare minimum

If he wants to use tablet, then he might as well get use it right away; otherwise, it'll be harder for him to switch once he gets comfortable with mouse.

Wait, if I switch once I play for, lets say 3 more months, then switch to tablet, will it seriously affect how I play?

You tend to lose a little skill with mouse when you dont use it, but after an extended warm-up (especially at your skill level) anything lost will be relearned.

Let's compare the pros and cons for mouse

Pros
- Only alpha males use mouse
- your cursor movement doesn't make you look like you have Parkinson's
- Doomsbae is gonna be your religion which is 10x better than cookizi cause doomsday is a cutie
- having you ever seen a tablet with RGB lighting? You're gonna look way cooler in circle clicking montage when your mouse and RGB lighting

Cons
- higher skill ceiling which might encourage you to switch to tablet, which is beta af

it's preference tbh, if you have the money go for it when you've established basics like rhythm sense and aim using your mouse, adapting to tablet doesn't take long once you have the right configuration

Yeah, just like it was hard for firebat92, right? Getting better aim with mouse will make you better when you adjust to tablet. OP has never practiced aim yet because they're not at the level where they have to even practice aim.

I'm going to disagree with this. Switching to tablet takes time to get used to, so if you are going to be a tablet player either way, you might as well start of with tablet.

And you're forgetting that angelsim had his tablet mutiaccount.

Well, when I switched from mouse to tablet, my skill improved tremendously after only a day or two...
Mouse has more disadvantages than a tablet, and tablet makes things easier.

Angelsim (firebat92) once said on twitter: "whoever said mouse was as good as tablet with enough practice, f you".

Mouse.

I used tablet for several months, but my aim always felt slippery af like I was playing on wet floor or something.

Another annoying thing with tablets is the amount of setup you have to do for them. You'll want to have no input lag, then you'll also struggle with the "right" grip, drag vs hover, always using FixmyPen, make sure you forced proportions and setting the right area etc etc.
Even if you feel like you "got better" initially, sooner or later you'll start thinking stuff like "Maybe I need to change my area" or "This grip feels wrong", or "I'm 100% convinced there still is input lag!"

That stuff is so tedious and all you have to do with your mouse is set DPI to whatever you like, raw input, 6/11, accel off and you're good to go + your aim will look way cooler than with a tablet.

Go mouse, the world doesn't need more tablet players.

Only because I have enough swag to pull it off, due to being a mouse user.

touchscreen is like a completely different game from using tablet/mouse though

"I don't accept that improvement has stopped coming towards me. Even if it will stop coming towards me, it's because improvement never even came to me anymore, while I always practiced at my best. That's not a stagnation that is supposed to happen, only fools would think that way."

What are you disagreeing with? Better aim with mouse = better aim with tablet. A lot of people who I see switch to tablet early have very disgusting aim. Understand how to improve your aim with mouse before giving up and switching to tablet just because someone else improved faster with it. You overestimate the time it takes to adjust to tablet, OP is more likely to form bad habits if they start using tablet without fully understanding a tablet's advantages.

It'll be like playing hidden flashlight without need the mods on.
