I’ve been a pc gamer all my life but controller has always easily been the superior choice. For first person shooters and strategy games I’ll go KBM sure, but for every other kind of game I’ll go controller when I can get away with it. It’s significantly more comfortable for me and I’m much more familiar with it.
This is actually a good question. I hope you get some replies from serious gamers.
I am not a serious gamer, but I’ve always preferred keyboards for FPS and RTS games. Years ago when I tried an FPS game for the first time on a console using a controller it was a disaster and took weeks to get used to.
That being said, normally console FPSes are designed to be much more-forgiving as to response time to account for the controller, and there’s typically some level of auto-aim. If you’re playing against other players, they’re going to be using analog sticks too.
I mean, don’t get me wrong, I’m with you on this, would rather have the mouse, just that I dunno if I’d call it a disaster. It’d be a disaster if people using mice/keyboards were competitively playing against people with analog sticks in an FPS.
On consoles, I use gamepad, usually with back buttons / paddles. Nothing interesting.
On my Mac Mini, I mostly play emulated games and point and click games.
For emulated games, mostly using gamepad, except for shmups, fighting games, and arcade MAME games, which I use my Hori Mini Fighting Stick
For point and click games, Civ, and OpenRA, I use a cheap Huion drawing tablet
I don’t play much FPS, but the last one I played was TimeWarpers (an idle FPS game), and I managed to use a trackball to play it comfortably
I switched from right hand mouse to left hand trackball (It’s Kensington Expert trackball, not really right or left handed) earlier this year, because my right hand was aching. I thought it was RSI, but now when I think about it, it might have been uric acid.
The mini fighting stick is quite ok, but it doesn’t work directly with my Mac. I have a Mayflash Magic-NS adapter that allows the OS / emulator to detect it.
I’m just using it for nostalgia, reminds me of playing old arcade games.
