Ok, I'm seriously considering tablet soon, I just can't figure out who I can make my 40x45cm mousepad be enough for me. Somehow my mouse always slides towards the left-down corner of my pad, and I always run out of space >: I

Settings:
800dpi
0.8x osu!
Mouse precision on
6/11 windows
Mouse acceleration off + Mousefix

Tablet is cheating for HR otherwise there's no real difference.

I play with my nose on the touchpad. Pro shit.

Anyone that think the 2 peripherals are equal, play with a track ball. When you accept that mouse is better than a trackball, you will understand that a tablet is better than a mouse. But like I said that doesn't mean mouse takes more skill. The mental process is the same it's just that you are using a less efficient peripheral.

They have different strong points, the assessment of which is better is judged by the most problematic mapping styles being used. It's already been discussed what some of those strong points are for mouse and tablet. The learning curve is probably easier with a tablet because gliding the mouse at specific speeds and following strange patterns does take a while to master, whereas this is easier to do with a tablet. Most players look at this when deciding which peripheral is better.

I can switch between both and I know other people who can switch between both (Uan) with no problem.

Most of players can switch it without major problems, but when it comes to "try-hard" with some IMPOSSIBRU map, you'll feel the difference

Well, if someone is a pro like Mesita or Uan or JAKA, they need less time for adapting to the switch. But anyway, it's incredibly hard to fc hardly possible maps just after switching, no matter how good you are.

I've never used a tablet but I can draw pretty pro with a mouse so I don't need a tablet. After I found out about mouse acceleration a couple months ago my skill in osu! improved a lot and my drawing skills as well. I think they are both the same but mouse you move around with your hand in a funny position as opposed to a pencil style tablet grip.

I also learned to play mouse left handed as well as drawing left handed cool huh?

The bad thing about a mouse is I don't have a mouse pad so trying to set cool records becomes impossible with my wrists sticking to the desk.

I have a small gap between my mousepad and the edge of my desk because of the abrasion on my wrist. Using a wrist sweatband on hot days when my arm sticks to my desk helps a lot with vertical mobility, it may add a little height that I'm not used to... but it beats sticking to the desk.
Try a sweatband, it's a little geekish but it works. I had a few lying around already anyway so I just grabbed 1 one day and put it on.

I like playing with my tablet... I won't say it's better or worse than a mouse because I'm not that experienced with a mouse for osu! and I honestly don't care. People should do what's most natural to them, which is a tablet in my case.

I play touch screen on a tablet PC (8.9") and my hands predictably get in the way, screwing up my combos. It is still the most fun to me by far, despite this issue.

that's because cursor control is easily learnt, whereas MOST of the skill required to even play (reading timing etc) are transferred

This is completely wrong on so many different levels.

Frankly, it is not different between tablets and mouse.
because Recently I changed from mouse to tablets. so I know.
just tablets may be merits, you make your cursor movement softly, and accuracy is higher than mouse. A LITTLE AT ALL.
Furthermore if you effort, surpass those.

I used to fail to FC Hard diff beatmap when I was using a mouse, but after switching to tablet apparently I will not easily miss a note, even if I miss it is probably because I cannot catch the beat (time), not distance.

I used a mouse for around a month playing osu and sucked at spinners, then I switched the mouse hand and found out why: because i'm left handed and use the mouse with my right hand, so I got around 130 RPM with the right hand and around 220 with the left. I switched to a tablet (a DS) and was suddenly good at everything, mostly because I was awful with a mouse
