ban keyboard!

The keyboard fight has been happening from the very day this extension was created

Well personally I don't think it's wrong despite common logic says it is

The reason it's fair is because it's just another input option

I have tried using kb and failed badly very badly

I am very bad at mouse too

But at touchscreen i am great so if i am using mouse but then use touchscreen and get a +50 advantage then i am not cheating would i be

It's just another input option and some people would prefer it and i think it's fine

The speed of your hands matter in ultrabullet and in case someone is good with kb(not everyone is) then they should feel free to use that advantage and get to the rating they deserve

#40 (this is a joke) If I'm playing a 1400 should I not use my brain?

Why ?😭

@PhonJati86 why why?

The assisted piece selection seems kinda sketchy in my opinion. In a way, the player is only putting in half the input.

You guys do realize there are many fast mouse players that get accused of being KB right?

By banning KB all you do is make it harder to achieve the same amount of speed that the select others have by mouse.
you essentially want to weaken the leader board of all decent players in place for people with exceptional mouse skills.

And this is all without even mention of lag connected players.

From a standpoint of Good Ultrabullet, removing KB doesn't make seance
It would only cleanse the site of strong, fast players with proper both hand dexterity

being u1500 bullet and 1300UB vs KB maybe feels different but I don't know that personally.

If Lichess Bans Kb I'd just not play on Lichess so abundantly anymore
and I'm even sure some very fast mouse players wouldn't play so much anymore
Because They can't farm KB who farms Lag they'll only get the lag.

This is just my ecological report of the UB wildlife.

This is a very very funny argument.
To sum up what you are saying, your argument is that banning KB would decrease the number of skilled ultra (or fast players in general) on the site.

It may definitely be true that banning KB will make most people be a bit slower (those who use KB at least). You however fail to consider one crucial factor. Using KB does not increase the skill cap, it decreases it!
Being incredibly fast with a mouse (like Andrew Tang) is magnitudes harder than being equally fast with KB. KB makes anyone remotely skilled at using KB be very high rated. Tang for example used to be so fast and good that he could play actual chess in ultra too, which is not the case with the top players today. It's a KB vs KB spam.

To me, ultra used to be an art of incredible speed and chess skills. Today, with the decreased skill cap which KB brought, it's a spam fest between one KB user against another.

I mean, kb makes you worst and you have no skills at all, spamming does moves that you even dont chose to do.
At the same time, if you bann kb, then mouse players wouldnt be overated. Having mouse skills it doesnt make you worst. It just makes you faster and better in a " cleaner way" than kb, in my opinion.

If we claim that skill cap = blitz rating then there are 84,627 blitz rated players over 2000
and if you're claiming that KB makes it easier to gain andrew tang speed then that just confirms my point

all of these 2000+ rated blitz players they'd be thrown out of leaderboard due to requirement of exceptional (peng) mouse skills
and that doesn't increase the skill cap that decreases it.

And lets be honest here even me the "spammer" vs a 1700 blitz player regardless of how fast he spams I can checkmate him due to my 1900 blitz strength,

but If I were to not have KB and he were to have proper mouse skills I would possibly lose.

I don't understand what I'm failing to see here.
Essentially you are confirming everything I had said prior.

@Whitedancingrockstar i disagree with the makes people faster sentiment

Not everyone becomes fast and to use it you need actual good skills with a keyboard and mouse at same time

For example i am not and many others
