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.

    The only time I’ve really (objectively) rooted for keyboard over a controller is in Splinter Cell 1, 2, 3, and 4 because those games all tie movement-speed to the mousewheel and that it just seems so natural to have controllable movementspeed.

    But those games are like what… nearing 20 years old? Most PC games are bonedead simple to the point where they could just as easily be beaten with a controller and a clever GUI menu layout

    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.
