Controller > Mouse & Keyboard

[Joeycentral]

Hot take, but I think controller is the way to go. I remember how good my aim was back during Halo 3 when I played that game on the controller when it was on the 360. Fast forward to today, my aim is dog water and I finally realize why: I am using mouse and keyboard and not a controller. I never understood why people say mouse is superior when it seems like controller is the way to go.

Is there a reason for this popular take?

I'd say that theres no competition between mouse and keyboard vs. a a controller. MKB allows for much more precise movements, just to bring into perspective on the analog of the controller you are using a single thumb whereas with the mouse you have multiple fingers, hand, wrist and arm working together to create the fine movements that increase accuracy in a way your thumb will never be able to do.

To compensate for this Controllers usually add some extension of aim assist to allow for easier aiming. (Some games like Apex Legends push this a lot).

But lets be honest here, in the end of the day we are not Professional gamers, just pick the one input method you are most comfortable with and enjoy.

This is what I heard and is why I decided to try MKB. But to be honest, I feel like my aim sucks with it. IDK if you need a special aiming mouse to aim well or what, but maybe its a hardware issue I have?

This is just a skill issue. you are missing because you cannot aim you need the auto aim to hit targets where as those who can play with keyboard mouse are head shotting you constantly.

Which makes no sense because the same pros with amazing aim-botting aim are the same guys who make video content shaming people using software to equalize that skill and the messed up part is those people get 100 year bans.

here is you some practice bud. click here ( )

On PC the game appears to have borderline/actually 0 aim assist on controller. There’s settings for it but at least for me they have no impact.

If that’s also the case for you then controller will be a severe disadvantage unless you’re just personally more comfortable with it.

That's not you being good, that's you aim assist being good.

most amazing aim-botting aim pros use high DPI at very low low low sensitivity.
you're also comparing yourself with people who have 20+ hours in aimlabs and
play videogames professionally.

now this game, this squirlley wiggly game. You're going to miss people. you are going to miss dog. What is your average accuracy would you say among your games?

people are so unpredictable because they don't want hit in the face with a 2' shard of Hel magic.
Also I wouldn't exactly call the aiming in this game premium software.
its a little wonky maybe check out a couple videos. but it seems like hits land when you aim to the right more than they do when you're just off to the left. if that makes any sense.

This ain't COD, auto aim is pretty weak here, Mouse and Key dominate this game.

Reminder: most games, including this one, do not ave aim assist in Ranked modes.

You can't beat someone on M&K using a controller if you are playing a ranged character.
Controller is good and some times better for Bruishers, Strategies and Vanguards. For Range it is no no.

I feel aim assist is needed for this game. Otherwise casuals will leave and only good players will remain.

Tell that to all the sniper duels I've been winning in GTA 5 for years.
I do occasionally get my ass handed to me, but I win a lot more than I lose.

Just gotta tune that sensitivity and deadzones to suit you and your controller.

Aim Assist is straight up broken on PC and doesn't work for most, and it doesn't exist in Ranked even for console players.
