  • Beatmania controller: stub + dull wording
  • Dance pad
  • Drum controller
  • Graphics tablet
  • Keyboard: stub + extremely short
  • Mouse: stub + almost solely about mouse-related osu! options, which is odd
  • Touch device
  • Wiimote -- do we need it? looks like it only exists because of mention in osu! options
  • index page

i'm not sure we need stubs for all of these, i mean they're not osu terms or anything. wouldn't one article be better?

for exotic devices, sure, but I imagine that for keyboards, mice, and tablets it's possible to produce something decent that would pass as a separate piece of text

Tbh I wonder, wouldn't it be good to just delete Beatmania controller, Dance pad, Drum controller and Wiimote.
Nobody uses those anyways so I think it makes more sense to just have mouse, keyboard, keypad, tablet and touchscreen.
After all we can't make a page for every obscure input device that is out there.

I thought the whole wii thing was specifically for the wii's tatacon. maybe I'm getting that horribly mixed up. but anyway yeah per walavouchey and ticclick's comments above, I think it'd be best that only the very standard input types (kb, mouse, tablet, maybe touchscreen) get an article with whatever can be said about them, and then leave the uncommon ones to just a short mention in the index page, if relevant at all.

Honestly I think getting rid of the useless ones is a better idea in general. They aren't used and I imagine that especially new players will visit input-device to see what they can use/ what is viable and just having half of the options be some random stuff will help nobody. And again, if we keep them in won't we have to make other articles for other imput devices as well?
We have to draw a line when it comes to what we will and will not have and I think it should be drawn after the 4 input methods that are actually used, namely mouse, tablet, keyboard/ keypad and touchscreen.

All the input devices you mention have code in the game to support them. This is why we list them.

Since it's supported in-code, this is due diligence to document them properly IMHO. It's not really a matter if they're esoteric or niche if they're officially supported.
