Tablet Mapping

Tablet mapping is the first thing you must provide attention to as Osu comes with high sensitivity configuration just like any other game. Moreover, you must configure on the tablet specific app the area that you often use on your tablet. Keep in mind that each and every tablet’s manufacturer have their own app for customizing their tablet’s performance without using in-game options. This is a good thing as this would mean that you will be able to adjust the settings according to what you think is suitable without having to access your tablet specific in game options. 

Through tablet mapping you will be able to determine which area of the tablet you use. This means the smaller the the tablet mapping that you use, the smaller the area it would cover on your screen.  Some would like to use a full area of the tablet while playing, this would mean that most players would then increase their sensitivity. 

Osu Resolution and In-game Options

Once you get your tablet, you will have the essential options that re configured on your tablet app. Moreover, there are also some game-related options as well which you should check and take into consideration. 

The recommended resolution for Osu game is about 1600×900 at windowed mode. This recommendation provides you better performance and though this might seem to be advanced, it ensures that the ratio and resolution would provide you the best and the most accurate gameplay and best performance. 

If you wish to have another option, then our other recommendation would be 1920×1080 borderless. With this one, you would be able to see the notes better. 

Standard Configuration for Osu!

• Ensure that you have sensitivity x1. It is better that you configure your tablet cursor movement, we suggest that you put the sensitivity at its native level. Also, keep in mind that you will have to ensure that your tablet’s drivers must be up to date. 
• Turn the raw input on. This option is the one that is assigned with your mouse/tablet’s performance.  Hence, it is a must and highly recommended for you to turn this on especially during your game sessions for best performance. 
• Turn the Os TabletPC support OFF. If this option is left on, you could get a disadvantage when playing your game. The reason behind this is because the tablet click could pass through the overlay into Osu! This could lead to bad accuracy and performance. 

If you are new in playing Osu! Then we highly recommend the provided configurations until you are ready to explore your gameplay.
