Depends on the game…

Shooters, keyboard + mouse.

Driving games, flight simulator, etc… controller.

Depends entirely on the game.

Definitely. Usually keyboardand mouse, but sometimes I get the controller out. Rarely, but for something like Gang Beasts or Broforce I will.

100% depends on the game. Something that needs motion accuracy, like a shooter, I want keyboard and mouse. Acceleration control, like racing games, I go with a controller.

Controller since I am mainly a console gamer and it's easier for me

Depends on the game. Third-person action games and retro titles I prefer to play with a controller. RTS are M/KB all the way. Everything else I try a bit of both to see what scheme feels best.

Havent seen a good RTS recently, if ever I get an urge to do RTS i always go back to games that were released years ago.

The Age of Empires Definitive Editions are great. Same gameplay as the original releases, but some substantial QoL improvements, new civilizations and units, and ongoing balance patching.

Maybe ill try that out. Was thinking of going back to RTS again.

I was in an RTS depression, I'm very picky and these are my main 4.

Red Alert Series Age of Kings Halo Wars 2

And my favorite of all time:

Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2.

Literally anything that’s not an fps gets the controller

Europa universalis too?

Violet_Gardner_Art t1_j6kdpwe wrote

Personally, I wouldn’t play it because it’s not the type of game I’m generally interested in but I ceed the point. I doubt that would be fun to play with a controller.

I don't know, maybe it could end up like the guy who finished dark souls with a guitar hero guitar

Sycokinetic t1_j6kdj93 wrote

Usually KB+M, but something like a third of my games are better with a controller.

DogePerformance t1_j6kgegs wrote

Anything shooter is keyboard for sure.

I have HOTAS for flight games

I used a controller for Mutant Football League and Road Rash or whatever the newer version is called

Learn how to set up configs with Steam Input/input mapper or choice and use a controller for everything

2

Zerthax t1_j6lal33 wrote

Definitely varies by genre, but I'd say generally the Steam controller

2

DireGuineaPig t1_j6lw5zt wrote

Keyboard and mouse. Even for games which would probably suit a controller better.

Depends a lot on the game, but I lean toward controller most if the time because I came from a laptop

throwyouaway185 t1_j6kgev6 wrote

Controller. Grew up on consoles mostly so the keyboard feels odd

1

Rizenstrom t1_j6kn7v5 wrote

Controller, exclusively, and I don't really play online games so I'm not too concerned about the disadvantage. Only thing I really got into for a bit was Halo where a controller actually has the edge.

Controller. I don't know how one plays a video game with a keyboard.

Can't wait to see you play Uplink with a controller.

ScaricoOleoso t1_j6mbjr4 wrote

You'll have to find me first (runs out of the room while spinning 360 degrees, which is easy because I'm using a controller)!

Sleepykitti t1_j6m59p4 wrote

think of it as a digital controller with 104 buttons lol

Always game dependent for me

Driving, sports, wrestling games and 2d fighters: controller. Everything else: keyboard and mouse

1

Sleepykitti t1_j6m50pa wrote

Keyboard for most games but sometimes I pull out a flight stick + throttle or a fight stick for the genres that kinda need their own dedicated controller. I'd probably get a racing wheel if I ever got into those.

RogueTommy t1_j6m9073 wrote

For me it's very game based. For most I will use K&M but for the Souls series, two 2d platformers(speedrunners and RoR) and some basic racing games I will use controller. Now I also have a wheel for certain more "realistic" racing games and things like ATS as well as looking to set up a flight sim rig though probably early next year after I buy a house.

Kbm for FPS except Destiny 2, gamepad for everything else.

Most RTS and CRPG are kbm only by design, so no choice there.

Would love to see Sony try and combine their vr controller with like a mmo mouse.

Depends on the game. Rocket league? Controller. Sim? Wheel and pedals. Shooter? Keyboard and mouse... Or the Wii zapper
