You made a mind/keyboard interface, but couldn't build one for your mouse?

I Lol'd. The mouse responds too slow, the keyboard responds rather swiftly to the command I give it via pressing keys. The only time I use a mouse is when I'm on turret.

You've gotta be dexterous as $#@! to get a better response time out of a keyboard than a mouse with something like this, damn.

Well if your on the main getting 24 kills with your keyboard...keep doing it because it's awesome.

For most players mouse is better. But since you're a pianist, it may be possible that keyboard is better.

Cool

Eventually you will plateau and not be able to improve any more due to the linearity of keyboard. Drones and bombers, and even possibly nans will be easy fodder. If someone like Brood, Nuke, Shiz, Sheff, Xeretov, Driz, etc. is after you, you will die because they will be juking all over the place. You would die anyways because they are uber, (except Nuke, who runs like a Frenchman) and you will not be able to hit them without fine control of your aim.

If it is working for you GREAT, but you will hit a point pretty soon where you stop getting better because of this. The mouse is very very weird at first, but once you get used to it the difference in precision makes a huge difference.

I actually think most of the above uber players use a JS, if that's any indication.

Recently bought one. It'll arrive in a few days. Then I'll use that. I've been meaning to get one anyway because I enjoy flight sim games, but I suppose it'll do for this. Thanks for giving me the initiative to get it XD

What sucks is when you have to go without a JS. That's when I learned to fly on a mouse. By the way, never try to fly on a touch pad!!

Touchpad isn't *that* bad.
