Every time someone brings up a controller vs mouse and keyboard, most of if not all comments will push towards the OP to “switch to mouse and keyboard” because “it’s better!”

In my eyes, the person is already accustomed to controller, they’re used to the sensitivity, and if not it’s a quick change.

If they’re going to get used to mouse and keyboard they need to:

  • find a reasonable mouse

  • find a reasonable mousepad for their situation

  • find out if they’re a wrist aimer or an arm aimer

  • make sure their windows mouse sensitivity is set to 6/11 for some reason otherwise everything else will be messed up

  • find their “optimal sensitivity” many of which tutorials are (subjectively) hard to find (the good ones)

I’m both a controller and mouse and keyboard user but I find it easier to aim with a controller. It feels natural.

    What are games built more on strategy/ tactics vs accuracy? (Ideally that you can single player)

      Arguably any game where “prefiring” is a thing. Rainbow Six: Siege is primarily about not getting shot by someone you didn’t see and not running into an angle someone’s holding.

      But Siege is still a game where a noob with an aimbot might ace a team of experts. The near-instant lethality in that game is what allows the second-stupidest kind of aim duel, where you can get the drop on someone, spray bullets around them, and still die when they slooowly turn around and nail you with one shot. (The absolute stupidest kind is where you can land all your shots and they still turn around and kill you first. Lookin’ at you, The Division.)
