I used to think the same thing but they are using a mouse.
Faterson's right about upgrading your equipment to do better but you still have to get good with the new stuff because it presents a whole new set of challenges.The game is ever changing as it is in the beta stages and still growing.
Don't give up because you see those low scores,just make it a goal to see your name right there with them,and yes it's possible to start out as a hack and go to that level.
Best advice is don't rush yourself and let nature take it's course,progress naturally and you will always be where your supposed to be.
