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.
Having fun IS the goal, but the discussion here is about controller vs KB/M for FPS games. Yes of course you can have fun with both, but let’s not pretend that controllers are as good as KB/M in shooter games because it’s just not true. They are slower, not as precise and require aiming assistance in order to compete with KB/M in multiplayer games.
It’s as good, more good for op, if the goal is to have fun, not be the best.
An ops free to use whichever they like. No judgment. But in the multiplayer cross-play setting, without aim assist they’re going to be at a disadvantage. That’s all
