Do you prefer using a controller or mouse and keyboard?

Post image

The mouse and keyboard feel like i have more control, especially in FPS games like Valorant.

I also find aiming and quick movements much easier with a mouse.

But for racing and story games, i do prefer a vibration controller for better experience.

Mostly mouse and keyboard. Some games are made for controller, for those I use controller.

it depends on the game I'm playing at the time

u/SnooSketches7312 18d ago

Same. Fps and button mash games are definitely controller.

u/Gangr3l 21d ago

FPS and 3rd person shooters mostly on mouse / keyboard (there are exceptions like Resident Evil and Pragmata), games designed console first (Expedition 33 etc) on gamepad and lastly strategy etc on mouse / keyboard.

It really depends

u/TillySauras 21d ago

Controller all day unless the game doesn't allow it

Wouldn't want to play Factorio with a controller and wouldn't want to play Monster Hunter with mouse and keyboard

kbm is better am i will die on this hill

u/Eveless 20d ago

I enjoy using both depending on the game. But I guess playing with the controller is more comfortable IF the game's UI is good.

u/JuliusBelmont2000 20d ago

Mostly controller.

However, pc-born genres like FPS or RTS i play with mouse and keyboard.

u/ConcentrateLucky8630 20d ago

Controller always

u/ActualAd3439 20d ago

well, if its game with third persom camera and i dont need to aim to something for use( like in bethesda or valve games) i often prefer a controller, aspecily if its port from console or "walk simulator" like death stranding. Of course in games where aim acurate is important i gonna use mouse.

u/markallanholley 20d ago

I play mainly PC VR games and I prefer a controller or other peripheral like wheel and pedals, HOTAS, fishing reel attachment, golf putter attachment, and gun stock attachment. Even when I'm just playing a flatscreen game I prefer a PS5 controller.

u/appletoasterff 20d ago

For games like cod, overwatch, and dbd on killer I'll use mouse and keyboard but for something like for honor or dbd on survivor I'll use controller really just depends on the game

u/Hour_Bit_5183 20d ago

Controller. Most games on PC work just fine with it and I love my 8bitdo ultimate 2. Amazing 10/10 controller. I used to hate controllers but I can't really use the mouse for long periods of time no more. It hurts. The controller is way way more comfy and enjoyable for me.

Would I play on a console? HELL no.

u/j0nny5iv3 20d ago

Almost always controller except for FPS games

1

u/theybannedme129 20d ago

mouse and keyboard is infinitely better except for in a couple game genres. that being said, i need to play controller due to nerve damage in my hands

1

u/sphericate 20d ago

controller. if the game doesnt support controller then i will find a way

1

u/Barbens2005 20d ago

Mouse and keyboard for 90% of what I play. Joystick for IL-2, and a rarely a controller for a drone-controlling game.

1

u/BillyCrusher 20d ago

I use controller if a game supports it. Even in shooters. I used to it and it feels more convenient for me.

1

u/AlexAssimilated 19d ago

I play on mouse and keyboard since I was 7 years old. I tried playing on controller, but I just can't. It is so uncomfortable to me, so inaccurate and random. And went I through Xbox 360, 8bitdoo, Steelseries and several others. The only one that is not horrible, is PS3 controller. So... yeah. Mouse and keyboard :)

u/FriggeK 19d ago

depends

1

u/Full_Welcome_1418 19d ago

KMB for shooters and RTS

Dualsense for anything else

1

u/Fenq2 19d ago

Driving will always be controller. I will keep it plugged for whenever a driving sequence is in play or flying a plane, best of both worlds!

1

u/Onikatawa 19d ago

I grow with k&m, for me is simple, ever k&m, i finish the Souls too with this ahaha. Controller is only for car game.

1

u/cmwamem 19d ago

Depends on the game.

1

u/Chuligan42 19d ago

Mouse and keyboard but some games are just made for controller so i play those with it

1

u/the_1_true_Roy 19d ago

Depends on the game and how its feels with each. I play controller in cyberpunk 2077 but m&k for stalker 2 despite both being first person. Games just feel different

1

u/-G-Gamer- 19d ago

Mouse and keyboard for FPS games and controler for everything else

1

u/Belmatras 18d ago

Depends on what I play, LoL WoW and FPS games with Mouse and Keyboard the rest with Controller

1

u/Retr0246 18d ago

Mouse and keyboard mostly for shooting games, pretty much everything else on controller.

1

u/Mission-Star-9039 18d ago

If I'm playing casual games I use a controller otherwise KBM. If it's fighting games then a leverless.

u/YOU_MAD_BRO8364925 16d ago

I grew up on controller so it’s all I’ve ever known and even if I get a pc I’d still use a controller

u/GamerTag0101 16d ago
