    I personally prefer the keyboard&mouse for everything. The main advantage being that your hands won’t emit a liter of sweat when playing

    The only downside is that you need a desk for them

    Keyboard doesn’t suck that much for driving but it’s way worse for precision movement for platformers and top-down action games. And obviously “twin stick shooters”.

    Solution is those MMO joystick controllers that have a bunch of buttons and a joystick for your thumb. I’ve always wanted one but I know from my Steam controller experience that setting it up for each game individually is a total pain.

      The problem with keyboard driving in most setups is that the turning is either on or off. So you can’t make smooth movement. You have to do that tapping shit to keep the car straight. Also the accelerator is either 0 or 100.

      On control with analog and trigger have different levels of sensitivity allowing for granular controls.

      I know that now a days there are some keyboard switches that have this, but it’s far from the standard.

        Yeah I played the hell out of games like Need For Speed Hot Pursuit and Porsche Unleashed on keyboard, and I don’t miss the tapping. Analog sticks aren’t perfect but they’re so much better than on/off keys IMO.

        Analog switches have gotten downright affordable on keyboards these days, for what it’s worth. I saw one for $70 the other day. I’ll try and find a link if anyone is interested.

      You can just do that? Even if you were speedrunning you could probably switch from KB to pad or viceversa in the time the animation completes

      This is pretty much why I went full netrunner with a side of tech sniper. No need for twitch reaction when the game is effectively slow motion in combat.

        Honestly doesn’t matter the build, by mid game you’re gonna be tough enough to handle some aiming imperfection. Late game you’re practically a God.

      The wheel is downright dogshit at shooting, though.

      I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that they’re complaining bc a lot of games have both.

    I always thought Halo CE for PC did it right, but I once offended a lot of BF2 players with that idea. BF2 had terrible driving though.
