Trying to use mouse and keyboard instead of controller

[chronikCupCakez]

Just want to say sorry in advance to my teammates. Trying to get used to the controls for mouse and keyboard and I feel like such a sweat, I don't know how you guys do it. The reason for the change is I feel like controller users are at a disadvantage in combat and the accuracy for long distance abilities and attacks on controller is bad and I'm over it. I've never been a mouse and keyboard gamer, so this is going to be challenging to me. Stepping out of my comfort zone on this one...

"Feel like a sweat"? No, that is the feeling of superiority. Bask in its greatness. You've arisen from console pleb and emerged a true warrior of the master race. But seriously, controller is fine on some games, but ones that require aiming/fast turning, not a chance haha.

M+K is superior to controller in every way.

You can modality controllers highly recommend

I was using controller too for most of my game time until i realized the mouse aiming is def needed for escaping. It would be difficult to quickly aim on high sensitivity on controller. I made the switch and had to get used to the controls but now have a better experience on m&k

In a similar way, I must apologize to my future teammates because my cordless mouse has been flashing red sometimes lately. It signals the coming of the match where the battery dies on me and... can't teleport so I will steer blindly into some hole or water while I go get a new battery. I don't like wasting batteries, you see, so I don't want to change it before I absolutely have to. By the time I throw the keyboard that I balance between my knee and the armrest, and the slow servos of the electric recliner (they saved money by installing weak and slow mechanisms you see) on the couch lets me get up, put on my house shoes (we live in a dirty apartment complex for people with dogs, you see, though I am allergic to dogs and we don't have any pets, and maintenance people come sometimes and it's just too much of a hassle to clean up after them every time so instead we wear shoes inside the house as you can no doubt understand, although we would want to go shoe-less in a house with a clean floor if it were up to us and while living here is only a temporary measure, it makes everything worse), go to the washing machine closet (that's where we keep the new batteries, you see, as everything is very crowded in this temporary set-up), dig in the battery box for a AA (did you know there were B batteries as well? They went the way of the dodo, and the polar bear, and humans... oh wait t.m.i. you're not supposed to know that yet forget that last part) and hurry back to sit down, grab the keyboard at at awkward angle careful not to spill my water and lift it (it is heavy and unwieldy you see) to then balance it carefully on my knee and the armrest, figure out how to open the mouse (it happens so infrequently that I have to learn how to do it each time you see) which is made more difficult by the unfortunate fact that it's all black and you can't tell what part is what or when one starts and another begins, dig the battery out with a fingernail trying not to bend said fingernail, putting the new one in, shutting the little cap thing, desperately move it around to see whether it works, and THEN looking at the screen to see what's going on... well, I won't be a very productive teammate during that time, which is coming as sure as the flooding of New York City (which is why they don't renovate the subway system, you see) or Venice (though its real name is Venezia you see, and the reason for that one is the corruption levels of the Italian government) and yet I cannot bring myself to change it before hand. Sitting here, writing this because there's nothing else to do while I wait for geo to queue up, I realize that I should bring a spare battery and keep it nearby to reduce the scrambling time. This has been a very helpful post. But it will still suck, so sorry in advance to my team.

Update 1: After waiting for him like 15 minutes, geo suddenly comes back and starts a game *without* me. Yeah. That's obviously not the hero Breakers needs, but the hero Breakers deserves! Wedding gift downgraded to gift card in a fancy off-white envelope.

Thank you for your wise, informative, heartfelt feedback Dalek.

Genuine honesty in the Breakers community? It couldn't be, no way. Good on ya bro, hope you're able to attune to M&K in time.
