Controllers are so much better for gaming then KB & M, its much more comfortable and the only reason to play with KB is for competitive players.

    Depends on the game. Strategy games, simulations, and shooters work well on KB&M. Driving, action games, and fighting games work well on controller. Some games like GTA 5 and Ghost Recon Wildlands I use both. KB&M for running around on foot and shooting, controller for driving/flying.

    If only my thumb didn’t hurt after using a controller… sorry, I cannot agree with you :(

    What a narrow view. Totally depends on the game for me, I’m not playing a racing game or a platformer on mouse and keyboard, and I’m not playing a shooter or MMO with a controller. Also, show me how good you are at World of Warcraft or StarCraft with a controller, lol.

      Speaking of MMOs on a controller. FF14 actually has some solid controller support. There’s a lot of people that have completed the more difficult raids only using a controller.

    Disagree. Keyboard is much more precise, and quick to react. Like, in Hollow Knight, if you have to change direction, it’s much quicker to stop pressing right and start pressing left than move the stick to the other side

        You don’t have a finger dedicated to each button on the d-pad tbf. It’s still considerably slower, but I would prefer a controller for most 2D games in general.
