K/M is NOT superior to a controller (imo)

Keyboard and mouse allows for precision aiming. Using your thumb alone however slightly restricts your aiming (and you also have less space to move on an analogue stick). You may be more accustomed to using a controller but keyboard and mouse is significantly superior. If you dedicate some time to practising with keyboard and mouse (if you play Black Ops you could probably use Combat Simulator) then you'll see much better results once you're used to coordinating your movement on one hand and aiming on the other. I'd also argue that ergonomically a keyboard and mouse feels better (especially the keyboard), instead of clamping your hands around the controller and having a very confined space to work with they keyboard allows you to just rest your palm and the size of your "controller" is much larger.

I've mentioned it before, but I'm actually playing Black Ops online with an Xbox 360 controller and, not meaning to toot my own horn, I am doing quite well. Top 3 consistently without aim assist.. I personally feel way better gaming on the gamepad than keyboard and mouse. Everyone always says that a plus for PC gaming is the K/M combo, to which I say mmmmmkay... Thoughts?

Well a lot of people on these boards react badly when you mention gamepads. Like try asking if a upcoming PC game is going to have gamepad support and then watch the hateful responses like "Just use a KB and M retard Its better." or "If you want to use a gamepad go play with the little kids on consoles."

I like using gamepads for PC gaming on my flat screen while relaxing on my sofa and a lot of PC gamers on these forums act like I'm Satan because I do that.

I like controllers, but nothing beats a mouse for aiming.

1. I like the challenge of using a controller. Sure the mouse is more precise, but using a joystick is a whole different skill set. There is a sense of accomplishment when you are better than everyone else.

2. I don't like carpal tunnel. After years of KB/M my left hand is like a claw.

3. Most importantly I like chillin on my sofa with my feet kicked back playing on my flatscreen with surround sound--not something that is easily accomplished with a KB/M.

I like both, but both have their advantages.

this... i was a champion of kb/m for years, ever since team fortress classic... but ivefound, very recently, thatplaying with a gamepad on xbox live is a lot more fun. it feels more realistic, on pc im bascially just pointing and clicking.

Try play starcraft 2 on a controller 8)
me myself, I only play action games (games that don't require accuracy) on consoles.
I do play the occasional fps like resistance 2 n killzone 2, but that's cos their r2 n kz2.

hmmm..

Sigh....here goes: If you're just beginning to get into gaming with the KB/M, it's going to take you at least 1 to 3 years to fully master your controls. I'm not saying you won't be good w/ a KB/M in one year, but you'll be constantly improving.

Hence why plenty of people don't prefer KB/M...it's not something you'll pick up and master, for the lack of a better word. You'll need to customize, and see what's best for you on a KB/M combo.

The same goes for pc gamers and controllers. Many of us find it inconvenient to have to learn how to use a controller after years and years of pc gaming.

All I see is talk of better aiming with the mouse, how about all the advantages of the kb?

Here are the 360 controls. Cant jump and turn at the same time. Cant reload and turn at the same time. Cant crouch and turn at the same time. Cant switch weapons and turn at the same time. Cant switch to attachment and move at the same time. Cant activate killstreak and move at the same time. Cant pull out equipment and move at the same time. Cant lean.

A - Jump
X - Reload and Action Button
B - Crouch (Hold to go Prone)
Y - Switch weapons
Right Bumper - Letahl Grenade
Right Trigger - Fire Weapon
Left Bumper - Special Grenade
Left Trigger - Aim down scope
Start - Pause The Game
Back - Shows Score
Left D-Pad - Pulls out Undermounted Weapon
Right D-Pad - Activates Killstreak or special option in campaign.
Up D-Pad - Pulls out Equipment (ex. Claymore)

If you make a clone of yourself, and give him a controller - You can have fun a$$ raping him for a couple of hours, then your clone will probably want to switch over to a mouse and keyboard, and the playing field will be levelled.
