After looking at everyone complimenting Staiain's keyboard for being absolutely amazing and improving their accuracy, I've come to realize that it might be my keyboard after all. When I'm playing songs, I go exactly along with the beat. I take off my headphones to make sure, when I think that I'm being inaccurate. I thought all these years that it was just me, and while I'm certain that my accuracy still isn't phenomenal and it will take me a lot of practice to AAA harder songs, I think most of the random goods that I'm getting is due to a combination of not being able to steadily stay at 60+ FPS (because my computer) and my keyboard being a cheap laptop keyboard. This thing has served me well in terms of speed, since it requires almost no effort to press any of the keys. Even non-FFR, I've noticed that my WPM is about 20 words faster than on any other keyboard, though it could just be because I've worn this one in so, so much.

I plan on building a new computer soon, and with that, I think I should get a brown switch keyboard.
