Gamepad or mouse + keyboard

[Poncherello]

Which is the better controller for this game? Gamepad or mouse + keyboard?

[barzai]

I vastly prefer controller--I'm pleased EA/Bioware restored the embedded controller support in ME1/ME2, which previously required a mod to activate--but of course others may have different opinions.

FWIW the games were originally released for the XBox and the code for ME1 for the PC was a direct port of the XBox version--hence the latent controller support. So there's that.

ME1 is basically a run & gun shooter so Mouse+keyboard is allways better for this.

ME2+3 is more like a cover shooter. If you play a weapon focused class/build Mouse+Keyboard is better. If you do not shoot so much and rely more on your skills a controller is perhaps more convenient and comfortable.

Anytime shooting is involved I go with the mouse. I find keyboards both bulky and awkward to use while gaming, so I go with a gameboard (G13).

[Apollyon]

Mouse and keyboard is vastly superior to controller.

[Veritas]

both are fine, use what you're comfortable with.

This ain’t call of duty. Controller always

I used to be a console gamer, but since I became a pc gamer, I'm no longer comfortable playing anything other than platformer or racing games with controllers.
