Every time someone brings up a controller vs mouse and keyboard, most of if not all comments will push towards the OP to “switch to mouse and keyboard” because “it’s better!”

In my eyes, the person is already accustomed to controller, they’re used to the sensitivity, and if not it’s a quick change.

If they’re going to get used to mouse and keyboard they need to:

  • find a reasonable mouse

  • find a reasonable mousepad for their situation

  • find out if they’re a wrist aimer or an arm aimer

  • make sure their windows mouse sensitivity is set to 6/11 for some reason otherwise everything else will be messed up

  • find their “optimal sensitivity” many of which tutorials are (subjectively) hard to find (the good ones)

I’m both a controller and mouse and keyboard user but I find it easier to aim with a controller. It feels natural.

    There sometimes is a gyroscope aim that allows for better precision without the assist. Still aiming with a gamepad is pain, just a bit less if everything is set up perfectly (which is rarely the case)

      I love gyro aiming. Comfort and accuracy, plenty accurate enough for single player and coop games.

      Yeah the only time I tried that was with Zelda:OoT on the 3DS I think. It worked pretty well if I remember correctly.
