k/m for typing and messing on pc...CONTROLLER for gaming and anything game related...End of discussion and end of argument for ever...So please no more of these threads ever..Thanks
[QUOTE="Vaan7"]People who say KB/M obviously haven't tried or even held the dualshock or a 360 controller : (foxhound_fox
And people who prefer a gamepad to a M/KB for shooters obviously have never tried it either. Both have their place. Saying exclusively either way is silly.
I do just fine with both. I can clean house on COD4 and others with a controler. But I was cleaning house years ago with M/KB setup on Unreal trounament (the originals), quake3, Return to caslte wolfenstein...etc

So you are saying that you would actually prefer to play a RTS with a gamepad when you could have access to a mouse and keyboard? The M/KB combo for shooters is a more accurate and well-balanced set of controls, you have the accuracy of the mouse combined with the large selection of bind-able keys of the keyboard giving the player the most freedom and best accuracy.
After playing Prime 3 with the Wiimote combo I wouldn't want console shooters to use dual-analogue control again if it could be avoided, the IR sensor gives consoles the ability to rival PC accuracy.
I never claimed that the KB/M was a all-around "exclusively" superior control device, if you had noticed my earlier post, I pointed out that it is only superior for certain types of games while it lacks for others like platformers, fighters and action games.

All I said was both types of control schemes have their place :|
Keyboard and mouse for first person shooters and real-time strategies,controller for everything else.I don't mind using a controller for a first-person shooter,but it feels much better with a keyboard and mouse.Not so much for real-time strategies,though...

And that "saying exclusively either way is silly." :| Neither control scheme is universally superior. How could anyone really disagree? So I guess I do'nt see what you're getting at. Feel free to elaborate.

I guess I had thought your original point was that I was claiming that KB/M was "exclusively" superior. At least that is what your wording lead me to believe.
