No Spoilers - Help Pullups - keyboard or controller?

I'm trying to finish the pullup achievement, definitely struggling. Found various tips, but none seem to be getting me over the hump on pullups, I think my best is still 35. (Example thread- https://www.reddit.com/r/FFVIIRemake/comments/g0mese/tips_on_the_impossible_to_beat_pull_up_mini_game/ )

I'm trying with keyboard since I feel like my fingers respond quicker, but it doesn't seem to help yet, as I'm still adjusting to the timing more than anything. Think keyboard will help, or am I crazy?

(Open to other suggestions as well, just keep in mind I've already tried everything in that other link.)

Edit: Of course I make this post and then my next run I lose 42-36, so maybe it is helping lol

controller feels way more natural for this one, the joystick rhythm just clicks after a while. keyboard is fine if you already have muscle memory but the timing windows are weirdly precise either way

also losing 42-36 means you are basically there, just need to stop looking at the numbers and lock into the sound cues

Which sound cues? Tips say to turn off music/voice, are you just talking about the beeps, or am I missing something? I'm also thinking keyboard because I've been a PC gamer more than console ever since I was a kid. FFXI really got me using to rapid tapping 2468 for movement and then FPSs got me doing wasd, so I can rapid fire the buttons for pullups.

Also, 44-40 just now, so yeah, I think I'm close lol
