Ultra Bullet Device & Connection Setup

How are you playing bullet, ultra, hyper, or straight - what's your set up? How are some of you SO FAST?!?

I use an iPhone with WiFi
Well, it usually isn't about the setup, you just have to think fast and then play fast.
Also premoves are key when playing bullet.

I prefer to play on a computer with mouse, but I am also fast on mobile.
Also yes, I use WiFi :)
OF course you premove - the question is, how many premoves can fit in a second? I'm telling you - it's all over the map! People must have T1 or high end, super-fast connections with low pings. My ping is 4ms on mobile. I think touch screen mobile is faster than mouse, no?
Touch screen is not faster than a mouse no. There is no comparison to the speed and accuracy of a PC mouse. It really is a must if you want to perform at your highest level.
This is good information, thank you. I used to play bullet on ICC back in the day - and then with a keyboard and mouse, I was fast as anyone (if not good, lol). But now the phone seems faster - will try the mouse again. I feel like touch screen is faster - but maybe not.
Different people have different preferences, so whaterver device you use, master the techniques of it! Good luck!
