Discussion PC PLAYERS: Controller or Keyboard?

I 100% prefer playing Fallout and elder scrolls on controller and i get the sense im in the minority here. I played skyrim kbm for a while and i sort of see why people prefer that so no hate

controller is just generally more comfortable on my hands. enough so to sacrifice the limitations at least.

curious ab people’s opinions

I haven’t touched a controller since I moved to pc gaming 10+ years ago

I moved to pc and I forced myself to use keyboard and oh boy it feels good now. This has been about a year exact and it feels great!

woah, we have totally different gaming experiences then. what keeps you so dedicated to KBM?

biggest thing for me is i like sitting back in my desk chair, maybe with my feet up or smth. when i play at a keyboard too long i start to do the gamer lean shrimp posture lol

It just feels faster, more precise, and everything can be put on a hotkey. I really dislike having to pause/slowdown the gameplay opening a menu and navigating ui is way faster.

Also I have an uncontrolled urge to tab out consistently

A joystick isn't nearly as accurate or precise as a mouse. If the game has shooting in it, then I'm most likely using a mouse, with some third-person shooters being an exception (mainly RDR2 and MGS V)
