Tablet vs Mouse

Play with a mouse. It really is hard to play with, especially for the harder/insane maps(obviously)
Never tried a tablet before, but I will buy one soon when I get the money. Just to see how good I can be with a tablet, not just with a mouse.

It's harder to play with tablet if it's your first time using it. Some people even ended up going back to mouse. The others keep it.
usually those people who are too good with mouse ended up going back to mouseFrizz925 wrote:

It's next to impossible to do long streams using a touchscreen though. Unless you can tap your screen really, really fast.SnowReborn wrote:
tablet for osu is much easier, but touch screen xDDD more easier, i think tablet is most stable tool to play osu

JUST switched to tablet after 2 years of mouse (had big tax return check so i was like fuck it)
Main differences:
1. Spinning is 10000000000000000x easier. I spin like a god instantly, tho I wasn't bad with a mouse, you just have way more control with tab.
2. It's more fun, hovering the pen above the little pad is fun I don't know why
3. Hitting small notes is easier.
4. Streaming was easier with the mouse, tho im sure that will change.
The same day I bought it I improved a few of my SS's, in a couple weeks im sure the improvement will be drastic if I keep practicing.

Wierd question but I have an ipad can I use that for OSU too? And how does it work message me (:
what in the world has that got to do with the heroic battle between mouse and tablet?
And no. You can play osu!stream, though.
What's with all the 1-posting derps around?

I think he was just thinking he could use his Ipad as a tablet PC monitor for osu. There is probably a jailbroken mod with it, but your not supposed to jailbreak it so yea.kriers wrote:

A manufacturer has no right telling you what you can and can't do with your device.Mithost wrote:

JUST got a tablet after maybe a year of mouse + x/y from keyboard. Spent about 1 day getting used to it and tuning it my comfort zone. All I gotta say is, imo it's easier than mouse. I set up a small zone on it so my cursor moves quickly as if on high sensitivity, then I just treat it like a mouse but in pen form. The only reason I switched was because for songs with 750+ notes I always somehow seem to run out of room with my mouse and then I mess up because I don't get time to adjust it back into place on insane + higher skill lvl songs, but not at all with this tablet, it's awesome. Oh and spinning is hella easier, I'm a wide spinner with a mouse and can do over 400 pretty easily i just have to use hella arm force so it gets tiring, but for this tablet i just draw little quick O's around the middle which woul be hard as hell to do with a mouse, but easy with a tablet ^.^
*Edit* It has now been 2 days, I've went back to songs I've gotten A's on, and S'ed them if not double Ss'ed HELL i've even silver double ss a 5 star song on hidden which i didn't try before with a mouse. Besides the earlier things I stated, I'd say the biggest improvement I've seen using the tablet, is how much smoother my cursor flows, I overjump notes little to never now and it's sooooo much smoother.
On a side note, I'm a little scared, it's been about 2 days now and the portion i downsized my screen to for the tablet has already been scratched off a bit because i drag the pen rather than hover, i only pick up and hover to jump, though dragging us just as easy without hover.

I used to be the same as you, hovering felt pretty much impossible, but after forcing to do it for a while, it went way better as dragging, and since im hovering i cant drag it anymore
I think I'll go ahead and get a tablet. I've got a tax return to burn.
Strangely I feel more comfortable using mouse than tablet,spinning with mouse is nothing to me.
Spinning is RIDICULOUSLY easy on a tablet. I can outspin most of the players in the entire game at this point (had tablet around 1 month). (sadly that's about all I can say lol) Granted I wasn't bad at mouse spinning either but drawing little circles on the tablet is super easy orz.
Though I'm thinking this is maybe because of how i use the tablet, which is 90% wrist 10% fingers 0% arm
Still have another month of at least 2k plays to get through before my skill level is close to what I want on the tablet ><.

Right now I'm using a mouse mainly because I don't have a tablet atm. I tried it when my friend let me borrow hers and I thought it was fun ^^
Personally I don't see a "skill' difference between using the 2, they both have advantages and disadvantages. It all comes down to what you're more comfortable playing with, but that's just my opinion. Getting a tablet because you think it'll make you pro is just stupid.

I once thought I wouldn't get a tablet as $50-150 was a waste for one use but that tax return money needs to be burned.Zelmarked wrote:

It's not that tablets are "easier" in a general sense, so much as they are just more efficient at conveying the message you are thinking, to the game. I think tablet players should be compared to other tablet players, mouse to mouse, m/kb to m/kb. There's far too many semantics involved when trying to comparing say a 16 mil scoring mouse only player to a 20 mill scoring tablet player. Preferably, if networking resources are not an issue, have separate scores for all peripherals.
There's no bias here. I am a M/KB player who thinks that there is just not a necessity to call the "harder" peripheral as a better player. We should be promoting the most efficient means of playing, not going backwards for the stake of a "challenge". Although it is important to note that most, such as myself, might not want to buy a $50-$70 device that has one use to them.
I'm having trouble articulating my argument but one way to summarize is that mouse or m/kb is a more inefficient option compared to tablet, and that inefficiency does not translate directly to more challenge. That a bad player could be just plainly a bad player but look better under the fact he's using an inefficient peripheral. And that there's too many semantics involved in trying to cross compare users of different peripherals.
Tablet? Only if your aim is to do impossible maps with good acc. Not-so-skilled players will find tablet just a bit more comfortable in most cases, and that's all. Remember, If you switch from mouse to tablet, you will suck after switching it back to mouse.
I can switch between both and I know other people who can switch between both (Uan) with no problem.AmaiHachimitsu wrote:

No, this is very true, and is why I don't play tablet at all anymore. I used to switch around a lot last summer and it tore down on my tablet skills and at the same time I didn't really get the hang of mouse before I quit tablet entirely.
If I were to pick up the pen right now and use it for about 30 mins, and then go back mouse right after, it could feel awkward for as much as an hour after that.
I also asked taNa about this once, and he agrees since he would have to play tobestyle or mouse only for as much as a day to regain his skill after a full switch. I don't think these 2 styles fit together in 1 player.
my mouse skills are still intact after 2 months of no mouse playAmaiHachimitsu wrote:

i can play almost the same with mouse and tablet with no problems whatsoever (and switch back and forth between them)
