Answer to most mouse players in ultrabullet or bullet about keyboard players

Hello all, this post will answer most people's questions and complaints about keyboard and whether it's fair or not. I have seen lots of mouse players complaining about this, so I'm here to answer the most frequently asked questions about keyboard and keyboard players.

First of all, keyboard isn't a tool that only cheap people uses, it's simply an extra choice for people who prefer to use it. This is the same thing as using a phone or touchscreen, keyboard doesn't make playing ultrabullet/bullet easier. You still need to aim the mouse, drag it around and think about the position. While most people think that you don't have to drag the mouse back and forth, you still need one hand on the keyboard, which requires very adept keyboard skills and a very good sense of where the keys were. So to use keyboard, you need to know EXACTLY where every single key is in order to play fast. Otherwise, people like me can spend 2 minutes simply trying to figure out where the keys were. Many people probably still don't believe me, but now think about this. Why do people use different kind of phones and computers and laptops? The answer is simple, everybody prefer different kinds of systems because they're used to different kind of things. Most mouse players complain about keyboard players when they have absolutely no experience, but I can guarantee you that if you download keyboard, it might take you a few years for you to become as adept as the keyboard players you've faced in tournaments. (Try it if you don't believe me)

I've seen mouse players beat keyboard players when the keyboard was shut down and they would say that when the keyboard players don't have their keyboard, they can't beat me anymore. But again, those keyboard players aren't good at the mouse since they are not used to it, just like how some mouse players aren't used to the keyboard. So it would only make sense if you beat them while they aren't using their keyboard.

There are also some people complaining saying that keyboard can premove every single move and also move pieces that are faraway. To this, I have to ask, why are you complaining the keyboard players when the touchscreen and phone players can also do this? I can use two fingers and move through the phone very quickly and make premoves. If you think that people can't move their fingers super fast through the phone, then I can also tell you, people won't be able to move super fast through the keyboard either.

So that's all what I have to say. You're welcome to question me or if you disagree with anything that I have said. Thank you.

No bullet, No Kb controversies, I am totally agreed with you. (though I don't play bullet and never ultra) @CaptainBadAs

The multi-premove keyboard extension is an unfair advantage on a single premove site. Simple as that.

@ZwischenzugX11 I totally agree, but I think you've misunderstood keyboard extension. The keyboard extension don't have ANY kind of multipremove abilities, and whoever uses multipremove are probably banned already. Keyboard is simply inputting moves using the keyboard, there is no multipremove feature in this extension.

@DrZwischenzug Haven't I talked about how people say oooh keyboard is cheap and stuff? That's the most commonly complained thing that 99% of the mouse player says. And I've also talked about how people like me who never used the keyboard before tried it and think that it sucks. Again, those are all biased as you said, but that's exactly what it's for, it's for people who prefer to use it. Some people hate keyboard because they don't know how to use it, but I don't find it a reason that they complain about keyboard PLAYERS when they don't gain an advantage. They can complain about the keyboard saying it's too hard, but now when you think about it when they say that keyboard players are cheap and those people can't use the keyboard well, doesn't it mean that the keyboard players had trained a lot to play as fast as they do now?

I have do have a problem with that keyboard input.Although it is almost fine, it isn't.You guys don't need to click.Mouse players need to constantly click and keep their finger tips quick and agile.

While you cheap dudes just press a hotkey and move your mouse about like a maniac and the extension just plays the legal moves.

Online chess is best and fair when played with a mouse.It is accessible and compatible to the majority.Phone is fine, it doesn't give any additional speed.It all comes down to the talent of the player.But you cheap KB dudes, most of you with next to no talent just ruin it all with your cheap methods.Circling is just pathetic.

The only KB feature I'm fine with is the default one Lichess has where you type in moves.

@ZwischenzugX11 Again, as I have said, you need a hand on the keyboard to function moves. And while you complain about not having to click back and forth, why do you not complain about the mouse and say it's fine? How does keyboard boost your speed? If I can move my fingers fast enough, I can also play well on a touchscreen or iPad. That's exactly what everybody does, they don't know much about keyboard and they starts talking trash about it. How about you download a keyboard right now and try it to see if you can boost your rating? The fact is there for you to see yourself, it's nonsense to talk trash about something just because you don't use something.

PS: Read my first statement carefully and you would understand that I am NOT a KB player.

"How does keyboard boost your speed ?"

Cheap methods like Head banging and mouse circling.

And why add an extra element ? Why can't all just stay on common ground and play with a mouse/phone.

"If you can move your fingers fast enough"
Well, thats' talent. Not some bunch of dudes, most of them with next to no talent/skill with some cheap extension comin out and ruining Ultra for the majority .If you want a role model for Ultra then its' definitely Andrew Tang and if you didn't know, he is a mouse player.

"Cheap methods like Head banging and mouse circling."

Again, to do that, you need to know very well where every single key is, and when you are able to do that, you are also likely to circling around on your phone/iPad/touchscreen.

So you do think that you don't need talent to play keyboard huh? Again, download it and see for yourself. And once again, it's not as easy as you think, most mouse players don't even know keyboard and they don't know how to use it, and they still talk trash about it saying people don't need talent to play.
