Audiosurf: Mouse or Keyboard?

Do you prefer to use the mouse or the keyboard for you audiosurfing?

Or even both if you enjoy the double car ones!

Personally I prefer the mouse, because I find the keyboard difficult to use. Although, with the mouse I sometimes struggle to get the blocks in the middle lane.

Mouse all the way.

Keyboard is easier at the start, but when the game speeds up, the mouse allows much quicker direction changes.

What Bom said. My little strategy is to look ahead (sort of like RL Driving) and let the Eye/Hand take over.

I look far ahead, and use my peripheral vision for the blocks right in front of me, it works pretty damn well.

Mouse all the way, with mouse you can ride in between the lanes hitting the side of blocks and just generally staying more mobile, I can't stand using the keys.

Thats good in vegas, not so good in Mono.

mono is for lazy people. In any case, it's clear that mouse is the way to go... the simple task of getting across the screen to the other side is difficult with keys.

Press "S" or "D" and come back to me afterwards.

Yea I play keyboard. I've tried both and S and D are faster for me. And this is someone who cranks mouse sensitivity in most FPS'

I just hate that S/D are "spring-loaded", I can't get used to that. I like to use them on those pesky blocks that hide in front/behind of greys -- though I just spread the fins if possible.
