the nip of this pen is almost all gone after 5-6 months of playing for me.. I guess i'll just have to buy a new one soon...
When I bought the tablet it contained several refills for the going off of nip of the pen, so I am not afraid of this. What I fear the most is the scratched tablet that it might fail to detect stimulus one day?Will3x wrote:

The tablet doesn't 'detect stimulus' itself. When the pen is touched to the surface, the nip moves slightly inside the tip of the pen and forms a contact then the pen sends a message that the pen was touched to the tablet. The only thing the tablet does is receive the information and provide wireless power to the pen.kookookook wrote:

You're probably applying way too much pressure. I only have to change my pen nibs every few months, and even then they aren't that worn out, I could probably reuse all of them with no issue. Try to relax your hand a bit more and apply less pressure. I used to change my nib more often back when I got my tablet and used a smaller area, because I had to tense my hand more which made me press harder onto the tablet as well.Xivaxi wrote:
I have a question to those who drag:
How do you keep your pen nibs from being eaten away within the span of a few days?
I have much better cursor control and snapping while dragging, but my pen is visibly being eaten away after only 2-3 maps...so I force myself to hover. Is there some trick to longer pen life? Or am I destined to learn to hover...

I drag, and to avoid excessive tablet/ nib wear, I taped a piece of clear plastic (an overhead sheet) around my tablet tightly. I havent had to replace a tip yet, but I suppose it will wear out eventually... Just not anytime soon.

I put my wrist bone on the table and I slip in a piece of soft towel under. I fold the towel at least twice so that there're 4 layers. This allows me to glide short distance without much friction, cause the towel layers are rubbing against each others when I move instead of my wrist taking the full impact.
why haven't i thought of that =OPuncia wrote:

1. Press F10 in game to disable clicksNot_Darkmatter wrote:
Hello everyone, I just recently made the switch over from keyboard and mouse to keyboard and tablet and I have a few questions, if you guys can help me.
!. How can I disable the feature of clicking on the tablet, so I can just drag my pen on tablet itself ?
2. Do you normally use the default mapping surface area or do you reduce it to your liking, because it feels like I'm moving around too much.
3. Since hovering seems to be the general way of playing ( looking at the results) , how can you feel when your pen comes up to much, without looking down ? Can you just naturally feel it or you hold your pen in a certain way to help alert you when you're coming up too high?
You probably got extra nibs with it. You might wanna replace it. If it's even possible now that is.teasp00n wrote:

What is a nib? :3

Think i might need to buy a new one very soon!
I got the cheapest version so i couldnt change nibs on it. But it says on the box that is should be extra nibs :S weird.tokaku wrote:
teasp00n I think next time it'd be better if you removed the nib when you're playing.
They're under the pen holder.teasp00n wrote:

But it still works fine
I'm not sure about tapping being inconsistent. I end up tapping when I'm jumping and drag during spinners, it's a habit. I don't know which one to vote for :/AzureRin wrote:

Does anyone else find tapping just having inconsistent performance in general 0 0, sometimes I can do songs beyond my level sometimes I just cant hit anything for my life =-=

Well you've destroyed your pen completely it seems so it might not work, but you place your pen nib into the metal hole on the back, put the pen at an angle and pull.teasp00n wrote:

S-So.. How do you change them? o.o
Sorry for offtopic
Actually I removed the nib since I really love to draw and don't want to waste it on a goddamn game, and the results were pretty neat... it literally shaved off a portion of my pen from all the dragging, but it doesn't cripple me in any way, it's just aesthetically displeasing.tokaku wrote:

shortly after i posted this i started hovering, easier movements on harder songsenaporp wrote:
I drag but might start hovering or at least try, dont really wanna completely ruin my pen within just weeks of having it.
However dragging feels better imo, you get the "feedback" when touching the tablet, feels more natural to me.
Dude, nice! I'm usually a hover type of person and I wanted to try dragging. The screen protector thing helps me so much! Thanks for the tipBeatMaster007 wrote:
Ever since i got my hands on a tablet, i had been dragging. Of course, being aware of wear and tear, i purchased one of those iPad screen protection sheets and attached it to the top of the tablet. It makes for less scratches for the hardware itself and a more slippery surface to work / play on.
I have occasionally tried hovering, but my accuracy suffers when i do. There's also the issue of occasionally losing control or contact with the tablet by hovering too far over the surface, resulting in pen movements not being registered.
It's a preferential difference of reliable pinpoint accuracy vs freedom of movement and less force applied on pen when playing, though that varies with playstyle, tablet active area settings, and other things.
Mouse I have never heard of that brand of tablet.Hell wrote:
yeah i use a mouse where is that option
I guess I'm a retard then. DUDE NICE! But if you talk physics then wouldn't your aim be more stable while planted on a surface rather then in hovering in the air? But then again people only care about speed in this game nowadays anyway.thedamntrain wrote:
Only retards drag. It's pure physics. Drag=friction=!=speed.
This is why I drag now, instead of hover. I always switch to hover to do spinners, but otherwise I drag, as it makes me a ton more consistent.[ BJ ] wrote:

I have "respect" for anyone who can reach top 100 without spamming ezmode DT. You don't have to respect an osuretard as a person, there's nothing glorious about spending 5 years on this game, but I "respect" their skill. Not them as a person, do you comprehend?GoldenWolf wrote:

So much respect.
Can't tell me if you're trying to insult me or make yourself seem retarded by not understanding such simple logic. Then again if you manage to spend enough time here in 2 years to leave 1630 forum posts, you need to kill yourself.GoldenWolf wrote:

You're objectively stupid. You think the ONLY aspect to aiming well is how fast you can move from one point to another? Geez, I guess everyone should use a 1cmx1cm area and play at the lowest resolution possible.thedamntrain wrote:

Do you understand the difference between physically moving your pen and your cursor moving on the screen? How do you even end up in that conclusion, unless you have absolutely zero idea how tablet areas function.Rewben2 wrote:

Not to mention you're telling wolf to kill himself for having "a lot" of forum posts (like what the fuck) and you seem to solely "respect" someone on whether they can obtain a certain rank without using dt.Are you purposefully trying to make me repeat myself, or can you just not read?
You're cancer. Chemo please.That's a really poor choice of words to end your rant about licking somebody's ass on teh circlejerk forums, even if you don't understand what I'm talking about.
Yeah, having a smaller tablet area or having a lower resolution means less movement is required to get from one point to another. As far as aiming goes, this is what speed is, no?thedamntrain wrote:

You completely omitted the first part of my post, which is just a stupid, irrelevant attack. I was just stating that I think your standards of respecting someone was stupid, no misunderstanding.thedamntrain wrote:

You clearly have no idea what I'm talking about. How does having 0 friction as opposed to pushing your pen against the tablet amount in me saying you're better off playing with 1cm x 1cm area, since it reduces the amount of movement required to move between A and B? Friction increases the amount of work you do when moving your pen around, and if you claim anything else you're a fucking retard.Rewben2 wrote:

You said friction is bad because it isn't speed. You can essentially increase speed by lowering the tablet area. It's quite a dumb thing to point out because the idea of "aiming speed" is rather stupid, anyways. In almost every case, people don't have an issue with not being able to aim fast enough, it's about aiming precisely and reading maps properly.thedamntrain wrote:
