keyboard OR controller

Controller will provide a smoother experience. PC controls never fit well with Souls games

[BloodNog]

Controllers have always worked really well for these games, but if you start out on k/m you shouldn't have a problem. I've played with both and would choose controller by default.

Good. Good. Give in to your hatred.

kbm is really fun the ability to control camera with the mouse is awesome. it takes getting used to for sure but i played ds3 kbm as my first souls game, though i mainly use controller now. I might try ER with the keyboard, but the controls wont be exactly the same so you have to just find a layout that works for you

Milk and Cereal

In that order

I have a nice Corsair keyboard that serves me well. I just wish I could find a complimentary mouse. Problem is, I am a big guy. 6'3" with large hands, so most mouse devices become cramping devices for me. If anyone has some suggestions for those with large hands, I would be interested.

logitech G600 is an MMO mouse with 12 on the thumb side and an extra button for your ring finger.. so it's really wide and only about $30... the Logitech G502 has a better sensor on it, and is a reallt long and arched... also has two thumb buttons and two extra index finger buttons, all programmable. i have average hands and these are both kind of big to me.. but i use my pinky to grasp the other side of the mouse.

Controller works much better for movement in these games due to the analog movement.

Keyboard and mouse can be made workable, and can be superior for things like aiming ranged weapons. However, I recommend using a controller.

Yeah most other builds Id go controller all the way. Archery with those dumb little nubs sucks though.

Not a good idea to play this with a mouse and keyboard.

[Magiholic]

I still play controller. PC purists will tell you otherwise but this game requires it.

[Morton Koopa Jr.]

Whatever you usually use to play third person action games.

Controller has a lot of advantages over kb/m for a game like this imo.

lookup mouse glove

Not quite the right thing for me. I probably could engineer something like this though. I want it to be corded though, and that would becoming awkward being attached to me.

corsair m65 is good, im about your size(im 6'4 with large hands as well)

This looks good. Running with the G502 hero. I do want a few more additional programmable buttons. I like to set up attacks and skills on the mouse, and have three extra programmable keys on the current. I would like at least 5. Bright Memory:Infinite was a dream to play with the controls used in this manner.

I have not heard of this mouse, but my understanding, it is about the same size as the G502 hero. I am a fan of the MX Master that I use for my YouTube streaming computer, but it would not be optimal for gaming. My hands are a little longer than 9 and half inches, from wrist to middle finger tip. Being big runs in the family. One of my distant cousins was a wide receiver on the Cincinnati Bengals, Lol.

Generally I play a souls game with a controller. Might have tried at some point in the past with a keyboard and mouse and just never enjoyed it at the time.

[Sweden]

mouse and keyboard = easier bigger enemies because of more camera controll.
but it just dosent feel right for me i have to go with controller
