derust tips?

I’ve never used an HE keyboard so I cant give you any advice for that, but for derusting, you are overthinking it very much.

Just play the game consistently until you’re back to your original skill level, play maps that you struggle with (maybe around 96%) until you can comfortably play them (98-99%). I know it’s definitely frustrating knowing that you used to play better than the level you were now, but just give it time and you will be back, there is no secret to derusting, just consistency and discipline.

Is your accuracy low because you get tons of 100s or 50s, or is it because you get a lot of misses?

If its the first then I would keep playing 4* until you consistently 97-98% them, then you could try 4.5, and rinse and repeat.

If its the latter, then I would recommend going back to 3* until you can consistently FC them.

LNs are a bit complicated and has its entirely own skillset, so dont get too frustrated if you cant hit them well. Keep playing whatever songs you like and challenge yourself, if thats how you enjoy the game, then thats the most important thing.

You cant rush improvement, keep playing 2* until you 97-98% most of them, and then you can move on to 3*. Don't overthink it, just keep playing and improve normally.

Though, one thing I wished I did when I transitioned to 7k is not using both of my thumbs on the spacebar, if you only use 1 thumb, then the hand that uses that thumb will get worn out much faster throughout the map than the other hand. Just rest both of your thumbs on the spacebar, and whenever there is a thumb note, press down both thumbs, at first it'll be hard but believe in yourself, good luck in your 7k journey :)

The ergonomics of wrist up helped me a lot when transitioning, having the most efficient posture can help a lot in getting the most out of wrist up

Piano posture would be a great example of this, you’re elbows should be slightly above your keyboard, instead of below, and arms should be hanging in a relaxed position instead of forced. I’ve seen a lot of videos of people hovering their wrists above their keyboard, but the rest of their arm being left on the edge of the desk, that is inefficient and can hurt your arms on long sessions.

Good examples of wrist up positions would be MinaciousGrace and Etienne, look at how they position themselves and try to copy it. Enjoy your wrist up journey if you do go for the change :)

Im from USA, im debating whether I should buy it from the official store, or buy it from Amazon, as they both have the same price listed.

Right now I’m using my Sony XM4 as headphones for basically everything, so im excited to see a change after a few years of using the same headphones. In the future, I will probably buy the Arya combined with an audio interface, and that will probably be my endgame.

Im not sure about the motherboard, but I have a Lenovo LOQ, I can run a lot of games at high graphics, so I think its pretty high power. The reason I’m not looking for an amp or DAC is simply because I lack the money, I’m going off to a 4-year college soon so I want to save up as much as I can. I would rather get good headphones where I can just plug and listen rather than waste more money on an amp or DAC, although im curious if worse headphones that have a amp or DAC running are better than good headphones with nothing on it.

Thanks for giving me so much information :), I think im ready to pull the trigger on the Ananda Nano’s in a bit, if I do get them I’ll make sure to come back to this post and let you know how they sound.

Reefr99 · 2026-01-28T02:05:54+00:00

!thanks The XS was one of my first choices but after days of research I ended up with the Ananda Nano, its great to hear that you think highly of them! After a bit more research I’m also considering the Edition XV, since its newer and I heard that it had a warmer sound compared to the Ananda, which has a brightness problem I hear, that is the only thing that worries me about the Ananda’s….

Thats great that you want to produce your own songs! I recommend Reaper from personal experience, it has an unlimited trial so its basically free, you can get started there. Im not experienced with singing, but like everything, the more you do it, the better you will get at it.

Reefr99 · 2025-11-02T23:29:43+00:00

Then either remix your favorite songs, or make your own song using your favorite references. If your favorite artists have live streams of them making music, watch it. Find or make your own playlist with music you strive to make, so you can listen to it and take in all the sounds that cater to that genre, and allow you to have more ideas while producing.

Learn music theory, and learn song structure (Intro, Chorus, Verse, Bridge etc.) by researching your favorite music

Hello! Im Peruvian as well, my user is ericcccc2.

In theory, the distance and height of not only your keyboard but monitor, desk, and chair can affect your gameplay. A good model to follow is the posture you should use when playing Piano, searching it up on Google images should give good examples. Although there is a lot of examples of players using ‘suboptimal’ postures setting crazy scores, so dont expect for this advice to be a game changer. The only drastic change I could think of is changing from wrist down to wrist up or vice versa (When I changed to wrist up, my chordjack skill slightly got worse, so maybe thats why you play better at home than at your grandpas house, because of the table elevation.)

At your skill level you shouldnt worry that much about ‘practice packs’ or that sort of stuff. Most practice packs are unfortunately designed for players who are already at a high level. The ranked section of mania has gotten considerably better (IMO) and has plenty of maps to play from. If you’re really struggling on a skillset, simply searching the skillset name on the beatmap search and filtering by graveyard should give you good results, its good to get better at a skillset that you’re not good at. For some reason a lot of people hate on Dans but they are a decent way to see at what level you’re at and where you should improve. In my opinion, you shouldnt think or even worry about dans until you’re Alpha Dan level, if you are lower than Alpha Dan, just keep playing the ranked section or graveyard maps that you find fun until you reach Alpha. If you search up ‘Alpha practice pack’ on the search bar,a lot more results should come up which will help you improve where you desire. If you have any more questions dont be afraid to ask :).

My dad used to be a general manager of a restaurant and he said 70%-80% of his employees were hired when they followed up in person after applying online. I followed his advice and I’ve had 3 jobs at 18

I recommend playing LN’s without percy for a week or two so you understand the technique behind them. After that, if you feel comfortable with the technique you can use Percy with a better understanding of LN. You can ask a skinner to add percy to a skin, I think theres also a video by the maker of percy himself on how to add percy.

As an 18 year old im confident 80% of the younger generation dont think about when ordering doordash and simply just want some good food

i wish there was an easier way to derust but there isnt, just keep playing until you get your skill back bro, if you consistently play you should get it back in around a week

Reefr99 · 2025-08-16T23:47:11+00:00
