Controller or KB&M?

[Volunteer]

Is playing survivor harder with keyboard and mouse or controller. Doesn't the latter make 360's easy and when running the killer can be seen by 'looking over a shoulder'? I feel really encumbered by kb&m it makes juking very cumbersome and difficult!

Thoughts?

Keyboard and mouse are way easier to use in this game. Controller... You might aswell go and play on console.

Survivor can be played either way. Killer, I would not suggest using controller.

But which makes learning to juke a bit easier. C or KBM? Being able to see something behind yourself would make dodging the killer less difficult -- isnt that the advantage of a controller?

I reck kids on controller. But killer, nope, keyboard and mouse. Before people judge me, dbd is my first pc game, also multiple keys is a no no to my hands, i just cant do it.

Depends on what you term "juking"... if you are referring to doing 360s and running around pallets "juking".. Then .. well not sure if controller will help you much with that anyways... or if you are trying to actively lose the killer by breaking LOS.

Moving the camera around as a survivor is way easier with the mouse then the controller, but depends on how used to using a controller you are.

Watching what the killer is doing, while running is plain simpler to coordinate with mouse and keyboard then the controller. But that is for me. Maybe not for you.

lmao use your mouse to turn the camera behind you

I am only asking about the comparison when playing survivor. Seems to me controller gives the edge in juking. I have never got used to a controller so I feel that kbm is second best ...

Interesting, thanks. I shall practice that when running well away from the killer! :)

Defo. But there are times when da killer is very good at tracking! :)

I wouldn't know what it's like to play this game with K&M and Controller has certainly done me well for both sides.

the killers who can track are usually good enough to not get 360d anyways. same as waiting out dead hard

I honestly don't think it matters. This game isn't CS where you need to be super precise. I believe killers have a sort of "lock on" when they swing, even on PC, so accuracy is not required. The only point where a mouse would be better is with Huntress because she has a projectile, but she's bugged on console too so that's a factor.

I will say I believe that survivors can do more with a controller than a mouse/kb. An analog stick is infinitely better for movement than WASD. Sure you can't press 2 directions at once, but you can change the speed of your walk or move in directions that is not the 8 cardinal directions. I also think 360's a pretty easy with a controller because you just kinda rotate the left stick while moving the camera left and right. On a KB, IDK just seems like it would be difficult to press WASD with the proper timing.
