Sure you guys can both do it. The first time I used C-S to kill Cybertwit I did
it with the keyboard. Just use setup to reconfigure your keyboards so that you
can do strafe left or right with a single push of a single key. Forget that
alt arrow stuff that's no good. Then just practice with the new layout for a
while. It will feel very alien at the beginning and you will continually screw
up and kill yourself but as time passes you will get better and better and it
will become second nature. Once you've accomplished that, good old Cyberbung
is as good as dead.
I have subsequently switched to keyboard and mouse as it aims more accurately
and you can spin around in a nanosecond but the keyboard setup definitely
works.
