This game is over 10 years old. And many people have been playing it that long. You shouldn't need to download mods and enhance your input device to extreme levels to compete.
This game's beautiful roping engine is a totally different experience to anything else. It's all about the practice and the training over a long period of time.
It's not about the input device. As long as it's comfortable and usable. That's all the enhancement required imo.

I agree with the download mods, but I do not agree with the input device. Some people play games for fun, other want to be able to play 100% of their capabilities. And there is nothing wrong with it, I am not telling my clan mates to buy a better kb when they fail so much, it's their decision. Many people would be better with different keyboards, there is a reason why people buy new keyboards, to get better. If some want to relay on unreliable keyboards, they can I won't throw stones in their way but I don't want to blame my keyboard for my failure. In your viewpoint (enhancing keyboard shouldn't be necessary) everyone that has a keylock shouldn't feel the need to remap to a more comfortable solution. And what is any different than a keylock and an unreliable space bar?
For me personally a reliable keyboard means more creativity since my actions are performed exactly at the time I pressed the key, I don't feel the need to calculate the way it takes from my brain to the keyboard is a way to measure skill. If at all it means that you got used to the delay you have, which is easily removable.
It's like people that got used to a 100ms Ping in Ego Shooter, I can't see people moaning about people that have a very fast connection that they are being lame. If you want less delay. Just do it! If you feel like your okay with the delay you have, fine so be it. But don't force others to be okay with it when it's technically possible to reduce the lag/delay without alternating the game engine at all. In the case of Internet lag: Get a better Internet connection, in the case of tap delay: get a better keyboard or sit down and think of a solution.
