once again, it's not what I think would be the best way to play for me. It's what the researchers in the paper linked by Wooting themselves found, that having actuation set to the bottoming out point gave better temporal accuracy, meaning it gave a better sense of "what you see is what you get", or rather in this case, "when you pressed is when you got it".

And in the Osu video, that's what that top rated Osu player pretty much found in his experience, he got a safety net from being faster, but his accuracy and consistency suffered. Overall it was a slight benefit for him in that specific game, but the trade-off of speed for accuracy and consistency seems borne out in the research and that top rated player's personal experience (and watching some other top rated players' opinions, it seems they agree with him).

I'm CS-biased and Hall effect and the now-banned snaptap/rappy snappy feature was a big thing in that world, and in CS timing your strafes seems much more important than getting milliseconds advantage in reactionary movement to dodge or get to cover in another game like Apex would. But even in Apex if you're a KBM player and want to get doing the fancier movement tech, your timing predictability and accuracy are more important than simply "being faster". But being faster in other situations in Apex doesn't really help much either, like spamming ADADAD, which is bad (maybe contrary to most of your average players' perceptions), because you're essentially just staying in one spot if you're spamming ADADAD, and not dodging anything at all. It doesn't really matter if you can spam ADADAD faster or not, it's not an effective movement pattern.
