@UltraMAN17 Stop posting topics like these. There's been ton of spam topics like these. Kb won't come back because it's unfair. I know you want Kb to be back but mods aren't planning to do that because it's cheating. Stop spamming by saying Unban Kb. This shows that you're a kid so enable kids mode if you're younger than 16. If you're older than 16, then please don't make this topic again. So mods, please close this topic. Your going to get chat-banned if you make topics like this. Nobody likes Kb and when Kb came, lot's of players closed their account, then when Kb was banned, many ultra-bullet players came back including Andrew Tang. I'm giving you a warning. If you post this topic again, I'll report you to the mods.
Lichess should release an official Keyboard-Moving with all the right restrictions.
PS. None gets 400+ points from KB even in very low ratings.
why dont u make a poll and let the players decide better? why decide few for many when with technology we have the chance to see what people really want ? personally i think its less competitive without keyboard. but ...its not gonna happend ..who wants a equal world ?huh

It's in lichess.org/account/preferences/game-behavior. The relevant setting is "Input moves using keyboard".
The keyboard extension is related to programmatic moves where users simply click on the board with the mouse and press keys linked to each piece to move them. At this rate, suppose both players use kb extension, the first one to reach 0:00.0000 loses, while the other player (opponent) will have something like 0:00.0001 time remaining. Even worse, you may end up drawing by the 50 (75) move rule, or the threefold (fivefold) repetition. At this rate, almost all ultrabullet games will end in a draw, especially at the top level. This way, the extension has severely denatured fast chess. Thus, ultrabullet and hyperbullet were effectively rendered games of chance rather than games of skill, as the element of skill was either lost, or significantly reduced to a very tiny fraction.

There are many other ways to multiple premoves, such as with your mouse or touchscreen. By banning these extensions, ultrabullet and hyperbullet became level-playing fields once again. This ban also restores (at least most of) the element of skill in ultrabullet and hyperbullet which was lost while the usage of the extension was rampant.

For more information, refer to: lichess.org/page/play-extensions and lichess.org/page/fair-play.
@BurraAbhishek We all get that you don't like it but by banning the keyboard extension as a whole, Lichess has simply removed the most innovated input method available on this planet.
This affects players in different ways, for example I feel as I've lost my hobby, now I have to play longer games and deal with way more cheaters. Also, I can only play a few games before my hands go numb from using a mouse, which I am not that proficient to start with.

It's obvious that many players don't like it and you can count me in them as far as the ending of games vs KB extension- In my profile there is a link of a post -against- KB which everyone can see.
Also, I must note that my rating is exactly the same as with KB and my best record was made without one. It really makes no difference. It comes down to Speed vs accuracy -
All in all, KB needs to be released by Lichess as a part of the interface with the simple restriction that would make everyone happy = "1 key stroke vs 1 move". Simple as that.-
