I’m one of few who dislikes k&m pc gaming. Controller all the way! You’ll have no problems ay all. Rock and stone!

Play how you want. I may groan internally if you don’t spam ping mushrooms or gold.

Play how you like, my friend.

I actually use both. I’m on a Steam Deck and prefer being docked and using a mouse and keyboard for shooters, but… I did learn the gyro controller for when I’m handheld, and it’s not too bad! The game doesn’t have a built in shooting range, but Haz 1 (the lowest difficulty) served that purpose for me pretty well when learning the controller aiming.

Have fun, and rock and stone!

I never tested it since i am a PC player for my whole life. But if you feel more comfortable that way: go ahead. This game is about having fun, not about being the most skilled dwarf in the Galaxy.

It’s highly dependent on the player and the build. I played so much Xbox as a teen that my aim is often better on controller than with keyboard and mouse.

But also, some weapons and classes don’t need much active aim. You can build a load out that “compensates” for the stuff you’re not good at. Something I really like about DRG is that there are very few builds that are strictly better than the others; I regularly play with a medium size group and I am almost exclusively a scout, with only one loadout that I use, but the way that I play varies a lot depending on who I play with. One friend’s engineer is extremely dynamic, and great at clutch revives in awkward places. If a different friend is the engineer, then they play much more “traditionally” and have their turrets set up to defend an area, then move onwards.

A lot of the fun variety in this game comes from people finding the way that’s easiest and most fun for them. Definitely don’t worry about using the controller. I’ve tried switching to keyboard and mouse a fe times and honestly, I really miss being able to switch weapons with the d pad. It’s chill, glad to have you along, miner.

Why not of it’s more comfortable for you? The game and most of the players I encountered are chill af. Just relax and enjoy the game!

Engie with a Fat Boy doesn’t require you to be accurate.

Just saying.😉

I only play the game with controller. Works pretty well! The only class that is a little klunky to play is scout but it is still do-able.

Yeah go with controller I find movement to be a lot better there

I used to play KBM on PC until I got my steam deck, and now play exclusively with the built-in controller. It took some getting used to, and I can’t hit the top tier accuracy I had on Mouse, but it’s more than good enough for even the high difficulties. Being a co-op rather than a competitive means you don’t have to worry about an opponent with a mouse advantage

I use kb and mouse for most games on my pc, but for deep rock I actually prefer to plug in my Xbox controller.

Glad I learnt it on controller too, cause now I’m travelling, and I can play it on my phone with Xbox cloud gaming & controller

It will be entirely fine. DRG offers dificultys for everyone from Haz 1 to 5 , even beyond that with mods in both directions. and 99% of the DRG community is super Nice so dont worry about that use the server browser and just evade the few Elitist which limit their Lobby to certain levels join the ones with chill names which are most.
