I peaked at 1700 rapid, but am sitting at 1850 bullet. I played both quite a bit so not sure why I am higher in bullet.

Bullet is about moving fast, but it is still chess at the same time. That is why I am sticking with longer time controls to get better at chess first, before trying to get fast.

I agree bullet is moving fast, however when at 17/18 hundred it is not only moving fast. If you only premoved a move with out caring what it is, you could likely get to 1400 but not much farther. I have played bullet games with 95+ accuracy against people doing similar accuracy. At 1200 many people are higher in bullet because its just going fast, but at around 1800 it switches i have played many people rated 2200 in 10 min in 1800 rated 1s games. Even ran into a CM the other day.
Depends on the player ig

I heard such strong opinion that if you play bullet on mobile - it’s really big disadvantage versus player on computer. Mouse, speed is better.

if we talk about bullet the issue is that mouse works faster in comparison with 1-2 fingers. It’s not about size of the board.

somehow my bullet rating is higher than my rapid. i think it's because it only takes max 2 mins for your rating to change

It does not work like this
Bullet is usually always higher than rapid at higher levels

Rapid: https://www.chess.com/a/39MFkq4GNjuE6
In rapid i had accuracy and in bullet i had accuracy.
Your opponent loses on time in bullet.
My bullet is high because I haven’t played bullet.
It’s still 1,200.

Like others said before; the more time you have, the better the quality of your moves = less mistakes = higher chance to win.
Don’t worry about bullet and rapid ratings. Ratings for these time controls are unreliable—I would even go so far as to call them meaningless. If you want to know how strong a chessplayer you are, play OTB tournaments with slow time controls. The rating system was developed for classical chess.

Probably True, but I prefer playing on touch screen personally, I think that i "mouse slip" less. But I'm just one person, did beat a few titled players on touch screen though.

Mouse slip happens rarely. Delay in moves - each single move.
Ill try to get better at bullet
That is up to the player, but if that player is somewhat serious about improving at chess long-term: then it is usually better to stay away from bullet. At the very least, until they really build up their pattern recognition and chess ability for longer time controls. I recommend games at least 10 min. and maybe even 20 or 30 min if your schedule allows it.
Under these conditions, you'll have a little more time to think, calculate, come up with better moves and so on.
The best speed chess players have a massive advantage over a newer player because they can move super fast and accurately in their "autopilot" because they know so many patterns, have opening theory usually memorized and are great at converting theoretical advantages efficiently such as Queen + King vs King checkmate. It is up to you, but I highly recommend working on chess.com rapid rating before embarking on blitz or bullet if possible. A blitz or bullet game here or there might be okay, but one thing you want to avoid is making that your default and conditioning yourself to move very fast - this is a weakness if you can't adapt to longer time controls and slow down effectively.
Thanks 4 the advice
