Been playing mouse for 8 years. Just move the mouse in a way that it stays as upright as possible. I'm still not perfect at this so I have to re-adjust from time to time but I never found it to be a limiting factor for me. It's always something else that causes me to fail.
as a left handed person I thought if I bought a tablet it would feel like kinda weird since my left hand is used to press z and x so I thought its just best for me to stick to mouse ( I was also an fps gamer so im used to mouse )
Idk where you actually bought k2 for 16 dollars but I only bought it for 9 dollars (including shipping), and it kinna good choice for what keypad u can get under 10 dollars
Funny story i never really spend money for osu i had a tablet cause i actually DRAW and i stole rapid trigger pad from my brother (he doesn’t play osu anymore)
I have the motospeed k2, used it for a while. Tried all different kinds of switches, then I switched to touchscreen... So now I use it as an autoclicker switch for other games lol.
I've been a tablet player for the vast majority of my time in osu. However, as I've gotten into mapping I've vastly improved at mouse since its a lot of effort to unplug my mouse and plug in my tablet(I have 1 open usb slot)
As a slow improver who played at least 1 year with either and am now back on what i started (Mouse) For me its like this. On tablet my mechanics seemed sharper, but grip was always an issue. On Mouse, Its alot more comfortable and fun, no matter how hard it drifts.
Paying 40 for a keypad isn't that bad. Just think about how expensive most game these days are. And I think most osu players spend more time in this free game than in a 60$ story game.
Bought the Simpad v2 anniversary from aliexpress waited a month for 18 GBP. Good decision, the new analogue ones look pretty good. But, ain't changing anytime soon. I love the classy feeling.
