How do you play games on your PC, do you use controllers, or do you like using a keyboard and a mouse? Well, even though I have a controller, I like playing games with a keyboard and a mouse. While the controller gives you better accuracy, there are limited options on controllers. Where as keyboards and mouse have multiple options.

I tried some games on my Xbox with keyboard and mouse but such a big learning curve I get frustrated and go back to controller, I do enjoy using the kbnm on rts games on my Xbox though

I much prefer the ergonomics of a controller over a mouse and keyboard. Besides RTS games where controllers are normally impractical.

Yeah even in the newest AOE with controller use being a thought, I still find kbnm easier and more efficient on it!

I have always been a PC gamer with a keyboard and mouse for such a long time and I use that more so than a controller then again depends on what you play and end up doing. Whatever I end up doing I pick based on that, so it's 50/50 what I use but then again it's been years since I last used a controller since I only do MSFS and so I use my flight gear a lot of times with my keyboard and mouse that I never feed it cheese :p

It varies by game for me. Idk why people make it a big deal that you can only use one or the other.

It depends on the game I am playing as to whether I use a keyboard and mouse or a controller. For First-person shooter games and any other kind of shooting games, I tend to prefer a controller and for point-and-click games, it has to be a keyboard and mouse.
