Ultra Bullet should be prolonged to 1/2 minutes + 0 seconds.

> @Akbar2thegreat I don't say that fast chess is just for fun. So I don't think that I am a hypocrit. I began to play UltraBullet in order to get a rating there, but of course not such an abysmal bad rating below Elo 1100. When UltraBullet remains at 1/4 minutes and 0 seconds only, I see absolutely no chance to improve there.
I am talking about general Public and not to specific to someone.
They are hypocrite.
And ultra bullet isn’t about improving it's just about speed, lag, bandwidth, etc. And ultra isn't even chess.

Why would lichess change the rules for you?
Most bullet players are happy with the format.
I don't have a gaming mouse. I use a cheap one, and I can make 60-70 moves. Occasionally, I win on time. Occasionally, I lose on time.
That's part of the game.

You can also lose a classical game on time. Whatever the format, you have to manage your time accordingly.

@LexDev and @Cedur216 : Your mentioned 'Hyper Bullet' is unfortunately no extra mod here on Lichess. On Lichess 1/2 minutes + 0 seconds is Bullet. And naturally I use to play Bullet with the highest available inkrement of 4 seconds, because my chances to finish my games normally are best then.

Hello @Grumpymantooth. I see in your profile that you haven't played any Ultra Bullet games with your current account on Lichess. So how can you say then that you can make 60 - 70 moves in 15 seconds? it's impossible to manage your time accordingly in only 15 seconds for the whole game.

He refers to his 1+0 games.

Hyperbullet is no specific category due to simplicity reasons. Merging it with ultra will cause too much polarity between hyper and ultra, since the former is double as much time as the latter. You could think there should be like 10 different categories to reflect all the different worlds of online chess (blitz wihout increment, blitz with increment etc) but this is not practical, obviously enough.

@philodendron68 premoves,premoves,premoves. Always give unexpected checks.Premove e4 pawn be ready with next move. Click speed test, a good score will be 30 clicks in 5 secs (6 cps). Listen to your favourite song or music. Always works for my level! (1300)

Buy a gaming mouse or use a phone. Problem solved ;)

Hello @KDMFan I think that with a smartphone Ultra Bullet is even worse playable than on a pc. And that means: No chance at all with a smartphone.

.. but if you play bullet always with 4 seconds increment you don't get a realistic bullet rating in the first place- you don't meet the bullet players that don't play +4. In blitz at 5+0 you have 300 seconds, give a game 50 moves you already got 200 seconds in bullet 0+4- and you won't get flagged. It's closer to blitz than to 1+0.

Explore the time scales. Just play hyper bullet exclusively for a while. And then 1+0. And then 2+1, and watch your rating. I mean, that might bridge the abyss to your abysmal ultra rating :) Then you know. And can switch back to +4 (which, who knows, may well be the most attractive way to play chess). Or you won't and it's just that your feeling that you lose all ultra hitting a mouse barrier was correct, and you can invest :)

I mean maybe you get a taste for playing faster bullet and still find your hardware fails you at a certain frequency.. and then you buy like Speedy Gonzales.
