keyboard and mouse is far superior. Why would anyone want 2 use a 360 controller for a FPS?

I don't, but I wouldn't mind for single player games at night when I want to flop side ways on my chair.

Why play clunky and slow when you can aim easier with keyboard and mouse?

Doesn't the PS3 support keyboard and mouse for browsing (Well I have no clue actually just asking)?

It would be sweet if they let you use them for FPS gaming if they did...

The only people who use a 360 controller for a PC FPS are people who haven't given enough time to learn how to use a mouse and keyboard for an FPS.

I saw an ad on xfire saying "play WoW on a 360 controller"...what in the world would posses somebody to attempt to play like that? Same goes for FPS, why would you pick 360 conroller over KB/M when you are on a PC, doesn't make much sense.

KB/M > controller. Although the 360 controller is excellent. The best controller I have ever used.

Give me a keyboard and mouse any day over a 360 controller for PC games, especialy FPS. The lack of precision with a console controller in FPSes the the main reason I buy the PC versions of games when they are available. I'll only buy a console version if it isn't available on PC.

before i got into pc gaming(which was about 4-5 years ago) i was all about console shooters , but now if i try to play perfect dark zero or any other console fps, i just can't see how i was ever able to play them. i can never go back to the game pad, and i won't!

I would usea controller for FPS, but if I wanted to intentionally gimp myself I would play with my feet.

No way man, joysticks made you a lot slower them a person playng with keyboard and mouse...

BTW I don't like FPS on consoles because the slow paced controls... So I would never use one to play FPS on my pc...

Actually it was much worse than that... using a controller for GTA makes just as much sense as shooting yourself in the foot before running a marathon

I really like my 360 controller, though not for FPS's. Its nice to be able to lay back on your chair and be able to play. I cant lay back and use KnM
