I've been playing osu for a few years now very casually, right now I play 5.0 - 6.0 star at around 94-96%, 6.1 - 6.5 around 90%, and recently I've been having some trouble with mouse acc after taking a break, any advice about the following would help! (I use claw grip)

- mouse driving into back of palm and making me miss bottom left notes

- weird "uncomfortable" kind of urge to lift mouse and move it while I play because it feels like I'm inaccurate, but when I force myself not to I play fine.

- jittery in the morning making it impossible to play, however when I'm tired I'm more accurate

anyone else have any of these problems?

Does your mouse have grips on the sides?
Squeeze it with your fingers slightly harder, that'll help the driving issue

Grip better, maybe pressure more
Hold your mouse comfortably, then focus on the game, not the mouse

Its not that my acc is going down as maps get harder, my acc went down on the same songs after a pretty long "break" (where I played on and off every couple days)

Problem with this is I'm left handed, only thing I use right hand for is mouse, and my tapping/finger dexterity with my right hand is abysmal.

Playing more and different kind of maps helps with consistency
Be consistent with your grip, develop muscle memory, sooner or later you can just focus on the game and not worry about your grip which might fuck up your aim

I'm the exact opposite of this. Right handed, use mouse left handed (don't ask why). Having played with both hands (tablet on my dominant hand), I can definitely tell you that aim is a lot more important (and harder to train), and tapping hand is relatively easy to switch and adapt to (most players tap with their non-dominant hand anyway).

Point is, get a tablet. It will help you. Especially since you don't need to worry about stuff like mouse drift.

This is due to mouse drift/stamina issues. To deal with drift you have to either:

1. Re position your mouse while you are playing or
2. Increase your range of motion by playing more flexibly

This uncomfortably could also just be your hand getting tired. I used to sometimes mistake tiredness for drift and I would re position but very quickly after I would feel uncomfortable again.

This just sounds like you are not warmed up, play some fun easy maps until you get into the flow of things and the jitteryness will go away.

Don't worry, it'll be easier than you expect to switch, probably. Hope it goes well for you! ;)
