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.

    I disagree. Playing for fun would mean using a controller. Playing for fun would mean using a mouse and keyboard. Playing for fun is NOT finding out if you use your wrist or arm to aim. Playing for fun is NOT finding optimal sensitivity. That’s for competition.

    He’s comparing how he plays for fun with how others play for competition.

      No they aren’t, nothing in the ops post suggests that. It’s entirely about how they play for fun and find the whole setup for playing for competition a pain and just want to play for fun

        I mean, the way they describe getting used to using a mouse seems to imply that they think anyone who suggests using a m+k combo would only do it to optimize gameplay.

        I do think people are misinterpreting the post, but I think that’s in no small part due to the OPs antagonistic attitude towards the subject. I think they felt attacked before they ever posted, and are responding as such.

        Their case is that using a controller over a m+k is acceptable. A reasonable stance to take, and one most would find no fault with. Their argument, on the other hand, is that switching to mouse and keyboard is something done only for competitive reasons. Which is definitely something people find fault with.
