so, i've been having this problem for a while. i play osu with my tablet and keyboard, and i tend to grip my tablet pen the way i hold a pencil (which is already a weird position in itself). one big thing i noticed is that i grip the pen really hard, and that's mainly what's causing it to cramp up. how do i stop doing this? should i change the way i grip the pen?

probably won't be as simple as that, but you could try it. forcing yourself into a grip that feels unnatural is only gonna be as bad, too, i think.

maybe try and figure out why you're cramping? tensing up for big jumps? not confident about your aim in general? is it over time because your pen gets slippery? maybe starting there might lead you to start fixing the problem.

the aiming thing is definitely a possibility. i hadn't played in a REALLY long time before this so i think since i'm kind of rusty it's causing me to stress about accuracy a lot more.

hopefully the more i play, the more that'll go away.
