Bullet chess is it worth trying to get better at?

I kinda just play as im drifting off to sleep. I view it as Garbage, because you can be up 10 points and loss with 0.2 seconds. Lost many in this way.

yes, because of the time. I lost easily 20 games were I was plus 10, because I couldn't drag my mouse within .20 of a second and lose the game I was dominant in. Then comes the rage tilt followed by losing in legitimate time controls like rapid.

Yeah but I only play bullet on my computer because it’s much easier with a mouse. Also just be ready to move before your turn and you’ll get faster and better at it. Make sure you have the premove setting enabled as it’s handy for some moves

I tried bullet once or twice I think. I didn't care for it. It needs a special skill set that I don't have.

If you find it fun and engaging, then by all means, continue playing and improving.
