I was just wondering if using the Sixaxis would be a disadantage to you while playing online. Do you think that eventually i'll have to go to a store and buy a cheap keyboard/mouse when the gae comes out? or do u think ill be okay with the sixaxis?

Quite simply - the mouse and keyboard will always be superior to a game controller. Let's see you turn 180 degrees in less than 1 second with a game pad.

So yes - the Mouse and Keyboard will be superior to the sixaxis or any other controller.

K+M will always be superior to a controller, but the deciding factor will be the player's skill and experience. The best players at K+M will almost win every time over the best controller players.

Get the fragFX thing, or a real mouse/keyboard (not a touchpad). The fragFX (wireless) is $60, the wired is $50. It might be $70 and $60 though.

A wireless keyboard....dunno how much those go for.

Anyway, if you're using a controller, you can find a lobby which is controller only. Each lobby says "controller only", "both", and "keyboard and mouse only".

By separating games where people use KB+M or only Controller, you can find the right room for your skills. But I would have to agree that Keyboard and mouse is superior.

Well - not exactly, there are manuevers you can do with a mouse and keyboard that aren't physically possible with a game pad. Like I said - NO gamepad is capable of 180 degree turn in less than one second. As all PC players know this is a manuveur easily mastered and gives a HUGE advantage to someone with a keyboard and mouse. And that's just one manuever a gamepad is not physically capable of.

I am happy to see that Epic is going to seperate the lobby's for gamepad players and MS/KBD players. That's the only way this would work - otherwise all of the gamepad players would quit playing too soon as it would be a complete slaughter and be utterly frustrating for them.

No it won't be a disadvantage, because I remember Rein saying that players using a keyboard and mouse won't be able to play against people playing with a controller.
