I've played against keyboarders before, they were always a joke. Most keyboarders can't even hit a good mouse player.
Obviously if the rest of you hadn't played much FPS games, a veteran keyboarder would beat you. If however you had any experience at all, he just wouldn't be able to turn fast enough or aim accurately enough to beat a mouse player. That's why console FPS games all have auto aiming to assist them.
If you were all veteran mouse players and he still beat you, he was cheating, using a bot to aim for him.
Still, I used to play Quake 2 CTF competitively in tournaments. There was a guy one time who was clearly a keyboard player. He couldn't move very fast, never 'strafe jumped' for speed, turned slowly etc, grappled like a complete noob. But somehow he had a 75% railgun accuracy. We still ran circles around him and were able to kill him faster than his auto-aim bot could hit us. His bot only auto-aimed at anyone who was on his screen, so he still needed to turn fast enough to keep us in his view, and just couldn't.
He later admitted to using the bot and was baffled at how we still slaughtered his team. The score was something like 15-2. He said he used the bot to "even the odds" because everyone was just so much better.
