Tablet and Pen Buttons – Get Rid of Them?

Tablets come with numerous and useful features. They are designed for graphics designing, digital painting and the like. This is why tablets often times come with pen which is perfect for graphics design but it is no real use in OSU. Buttons could be annoying and you would not want it to ruin your flow. These are just some of the main reasons as to why most OSU players disable buttons.

Hover or Drag in OSU?

This means, it is important that your pen come with textured plastic, silicon or rubber grip. The better the grip you have the better your OSU playing experience would be.

Wired vs Wireless Tablets

Though there are many good reasons to go for wireless tablets, in reality, they are not as fast as the wireless tablets. They often times experience latency and delays.
