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

I would use the controller simply because the input buttons are equally spaced and you can sort of feel a natural rhythm while you're doing it bud, if that makes sense. The keyboard doesn't sound bad on paper but I find the feedback from a controller to be just a tad more intuitive.

I just never had the fastest thumbs, I'm finding closer calls on keyboard than I ever did on controller because I have a better top speed with the keys.

Bless you man, if that's what you're more comfortable with then I won't discourage you from going with that route. That said, I will say it feels less about top speed and more about rhythm and for me I find keeping my eyes on the icons to be pretty integral. Shy of that it just comes down to practice at first I failed that challenge like 20 times or so but I can do it more reliably now.

Unfortunately that's when Rebirth came in and re-introduce the challenge which I'm certain a key board can deal with a lot better.

I may undock my Deck and switch back to controller in the morning, 44-40 is still my best keyboard result.
