Controls: Mouse/keyboard vs controller?

[Offset Era]

I just wanted to see if anyone was playing on a mouse and keyboard with this game. Seen in other threads that the PC controls for mouse and keyboard aren't great but I'm assuming that you can reconfigure the key bindings. Question for those who have already played this game is whether or not the game would benefit from precise aiming using a mouse and keyboard or is it more of a lock on type thing? I played Avengers mostly with a controller because I didn't find that you needed to aim very often in that game but this looks more of a shooter than it does a brawler. Even if this game bombs in reviews I'm still looking forward to trying it out. I did enjoy Avengers quite a bit and there's just not enough PVE co-ops out there that I like.

In the game it's written multiple times that the devs strongly advice to play with a controller.
Playing with a Xbox Elite 2 controller, it plays very well with it, no aiming issue.
As you do a lot more extra stuff than aiming, playing with a controller feels smooth indeed.

So you can probably play the way you want.

I tried M&K and controller, by far the best experience is with conroller. I also thought that by having weapons, precise mouse aiming would make a difference, in the end it won't, the aiming assistance on the controller is good and the combat is more like a hack and slash. Furthermore, there are many different commands for each character and in m&k they are more complicated to execute.
