Despite being analogue, mouse steering doesn't give you a lot of consistency. Pumping your glide up and down isn't as quick with a mouse, even at high sensitivities. Gliding and flipping into a horizontal wallride position is a bit trickier with a mouse for the same reasons. Correcting mistakes with mouse steering is also quite slow versus keyboard and analogue stick movement. Mouse steering is still a good option for gliding, but you can get pretty good results with keyboard gliding once you're used to it.

In air control is set to a static stat, raising or lowering mouse sensitivity does nothing. Low sensitivity is the only way to stabilize a glide with a mouse, as it is more consistent, and also the direction of the camera will dictate how the glide starts- so keeping it somewhat behind the bike is key.

As for flipping, its a matter of running out of mouse pad, and thats why I still use control, shift, and direction keys for flipping into and leaving the glide. Mouse is only better for the stabilization part, and at that for long glides especially, it truly is way better.

And in that sense I agree with you. Steering in air, flipping into a wall ride etc is of course better on keyboard. I'm really only arguing about the glide mechanic, I switch to keyboard controls as soon as I want to seriously alter the glide.
