osu! What area should you use? | Tablet Beginners Part 2: Choosing your area

[@Tonehhosu]

When I was recording this I had a really bad throat lol, but I decided to push this video out anyway ^^ I kept saying length to width when I actually meant width to height, which is a lot better to say. Also the outro proportions are terrible, I thought youtube would allow me to place the elements in better places but I just can't apparently lol.

I wonder how small Miraie's area is

[@andybuscus383]

When I first started playing with tablet at about 300k rank, I used a small active area. After about 50k, I decided that I wanted to make it bigger, because I was already pretty bad at jumps, and the small area didn't really help with that. I also really death gripped my pen to be able to control it better. (I also switched from drag to hover somewhere in that time.) Like any sensible person would do, instead of making the area a bit bigger, I just went FULL AREA. That didn't last long. After that, I made the area a bit smaller, but still rather large for me. Still felt too big, so I made it a bit smaller again, but still much bigger than my original active area, and that's what I use now. I don't really death grip my pen anymore, and I'm a lot better at jumps than I used to be, but I'm still a bit behind in aim compared to my fellow 30k players. Gonna be doing some aim training in the coming weeks, and hopefully, I will be able to be more consistent with my aim.

I switched a week ago and I fully adapted from mouse to tablet in like an hour. All you need to do is to translate your mouse dpi to tablet area through some trial and error. At first you will need to hold the pen closer to the tip so the movement is guided closer to that of a mouse. Once you get used to it, you can climb the grip a little higher. Also, don’t try to hover, unless you are a weirdo that can hover with a mouse. My only problem is that I can’t quickly readjust if my pen slips even a little. I still need to find a grip that’s fully stable.

[@reesespiecesorthoselifesav3668]

this was incredibly helpful!! if any of yall are thinking of switching from mouse to tablet and you're ready to drop money on one (or already have one, hi fellow digital artists) then MAKE THE SWITCH!! i've been playing with tablet for a few days after only using mouse and not only is it easier to aim its also easier on your wrists. but of course, you can still get high level with mouse, too!!

In my opinion the best way to figure out your perfect tablet area is by drawin on a sheet of paper while pretending to play a map and adjust the play area by what you have drawn

I feel that the perfect area is when you can hit everything and don't get tired, both small and large gaps, and try 16:9 aspect ratios first. I'm trying to find a good area for myself rn, this really helps

I use... uh... a 25x30mm area. Yeah my area ratio is 0.833, yeah it's taller than it is wide. Idk what to say It used to be smaller though, and I am working on making the area larger because while I can play just fine when I'm calm, when the slightest bit of nerves come to me or a bit too much exhaustion in my aim hand and I shake so much I can't FC But I do like this aspect ratio Edit: Wow times have changee for me. I now use forced aspect ratio and 160mm width. Fixed aspect ratio helps me read since I can literally feel if my aim is at the right angle just from the movement of my hand, while before I couldn't do that, it was purely visual. Also my shake due to nerves is so bad that anything other than a very large area kills my aim
