Before anything else, I'm a 114k ranked player on osu! std that quit osu around a year ago and came back two months ago. I use my left hand to tap (Right hand dominant) and I use Sayodevice o3c with my buttons binded to (from left to right) LMB, G, H.

I have about 300 hours in this game, and I mainly use my middle/index fingers for any kind of tapping (with my index being the singletap finger). I have NEVER, EVER, played with my ring finger. However today, i was messing around on osu and decided i should try streaming with ring and index. Lo and behold, my streaming skills suddenly improved by a mile.

I'm not even exaggerating by a bit. Streaming has never been so unannoying and maybe even effortless.

I used to be able to stream 180bpm on middle/index before i quit for a bit. But now I struggle to even hit 160bpm streams. Then, I streamed with my ring/index and I could suddenly hit some 200bpm streams. I even FCed a stream map that i struggled to FC with middle/index. However I do think my middle/index can do way better in everything else that aren't streams (e.g. finger control).

Has anyone else experienced this? It is quite sad that the finger I've practised with for so long fall short to a finger that I barely ever use. I'm wondering about what I should do, should I keep going as I already am and try to get my middle finger to stream better? Or should I switch to ring/index? Or maybe I should be a hybrid three-buttoned clicker?
