[Ready Player One] Why isn't anyone playing with a mouse and keyboard? They would absolutely destroy everybody else who uses a VR headset.

*who uses a VR headset and haptic gloves/bodysuit, as some people kindly corrected me. Moving a mouse a few inches would be much quicker than moving your whole body.

I believe in the book it's implied if not stated that to play the Oasis a player has to be using a VR setup. The complexity and quality of the VR setups vary, but it seems everyone uses them. This is also probably due to the variety of activities needed to be preformed in the Oasis, like driving, sword play, or even acting out a scene. Plus, the better quality VR setups give more nuanced tactile feedback so you would be missing out on the deep immersion.
