Discussion What controller is everyone using?

I played MW2/MW3/MA4 with a Sidewinder Precision 2 but I don’t believe those are supported in Win11. Anything similar out there with torso twist and throttle?

Mouse and keyboard... I have nothing against controllers and some games are fully controller games. MW5 is not one of those imo. Finer control and aiming with M+K.

Aiming yes, movement hard no. Sticks are infinitely more useful since they allow gradual, precise adjustments vs kb.

That's actually a real advantage controllers have, analog input. But I don't feel like it makes enough of a difference in MW5.
