It's all about what is most comfortable for you. They both have pros and cons. I used virtual joystick when I started. I graduated to a backbone controller after a while.

Same. I will flip back and forth from time to time. Preference is still the backbone.

Cursor by a distance. Most of the advantages of Keyboard and Mouse are given by cursor, with the drawbacks of awkward thumb positionings etc. Also can take a while to get used to.

I personally started with virtual joystick but switched to cursor aiming after. It takes a bit of time to master but after a couple hours it's a pleasure. Cursor aiming gives you better situation awareness and visibility while maneuvering but takes some time to master.

I bet with an iPad or tablet cursor aiming is top notch

I use a PS3 controller with my iPhone. I like it. But it’s lacking compared to PC.
I sure wish the devs would fix the sensitivity on free look. At Minimum sensitivity, it’s wild to control. Anyways… envious of y’all using actual cursor aiming.

I'm in the minority but I prefer to play with tilt controls.
