controller or keyboard for pc gaming

[the game]

Do you guys use the keyboard or a controller for PC gaming? For me it depends on the game. But I go back and forth.

Depends on the game.

FPS games? definitely KBM. Some games are better played with a controller.

[Lex Icon]

KBM... though since i bought a console recently i can sort of see the benefit of using a controller for certain games.

[Onikaroshi]

Platformers, RPGs, etc I Play with a controller

Any fine motor skill games (FPS, TPS) or things like RTS I play with m/kb


If WoW supported controller as well as FFXIV, I'd play that with controller too :P the addon is great, but it's not quite the same.

No shit. It's ALWAYS depends on the game. For everyone. That's a weird question to ask in the first place.

Playing fightings, driving games, platformers and 3rd person action (depends) games on a keyboard is the same as playing RTS and shooters on a gamepad.

[Arrashi]

Both. There are games i can't imagine playing with controller, but also some that are utter masochism with keyboard.

[Lurker1]

Both imho!

[Nasuuna]

kbm for anything except dark souls

[Wilian]

It of course depends on the game. Picking and choosing the best options is one of the defining aspects of PC gaming.

If it can't be played with kb/m its not getting installed on my pc. Simple as that

That's some strange hate, and you're missing out on some decent games that play like ass with a kb/m.

I use both, but mouse and keyboard for the vast majority of games, even those where controller would likely be better. But for games like DS, I still prefer controller.

Managed just fine with dark souls 1, 2 and 3 and other games with ass kb/m controllers.

[Lanrefni]

Kb/m for most games,360 controller for JRPG's though.

[endersblade]

KB+M for games like FPS, Pillars of Eternity/Divinity: Original Sin, RTS, X-COM style

Controller for action-style games like Dark Souls, Neir, Diablo 3, Kingdoms of Amalur, Gothic, Monster Hunter

[Craaazyyy]

KBM for most games, controller for some, like FIFA etc.

[ChampionChains]

I bought Moonlighter on Steam a while back. First game I've ever bought a controller for. Games like that just feel better on a controller. Probably gonna pick up Chrono Trigger on Steam and use the controller for it as well. But 99% of the time, I'll pick a keyboard and mouse every time.

[nekobaka]

Driving, fighting, and side scrollers games will be controller. I tried steam controller for XCom and just could not do it. Ended up making a lot of miss clicks that it was not worth the learning curve. Tried it with some other shooter games and no go. Needs feedback, a change of texture, and click force change would help with it not feeling cheap.

What? Literally no serious gamer will say anything but "it depends on the game". Weird question.
