Usb controller vs. keyboard and mouse!

[cwblanch]

Hi,

What's your preference? I've never once used a usb controller on a pc, but I see a lot of people use it, and enjoy it. Whats the preferences for it?

Mouse and keyboard does seem to be faster, but the controller seems more intuitive, but I've played a lot of Xbox and am still getting started on pc gaming so I don't have much input.

Thanks!

I use a gamepad because I've been playing consoles for years and it just feels more natural to me when I game on PC.

It depends on the game. If it's an FPS like TF2 or even Portal, keyboard and mouse work fine. But if you're playing like a platformer (2D or 3D), or using any emulators, a controller is pretty much necessary. It really just depends on the game, but it's always good to have both available and use what fits best.
