Just wondering about your PC - is it a potato as well?

/bad Portal joke.

Not necessary, I play all 3 with mouse and keyboard and never had any problems. You'll probably have to do some rebinding, but that shouldn't be an issue.

I have been playing with the keyboard for several years, everything is fine.
I heard that the gamepad is better for PVP, I don't know how true this is. I never focused on fighting people. Sometimes I kill, sometimes I get killed. Maybe with a gamepad you will become an invincible imba :)

I passed the 2 with a mouse and keyboard, but when trying with a controller it made me more comfortable, I already passed the saga only with a controller.

it's fine casually. it's meta in pvp

[hello, it's mee]

yeah, use mouse and keyboard. it's very good. a common complaint about this game is the controls are very clunky and dated, but playing mouse and keyboard and unlocked camera makes the gameplay amazing.

I play with just the keyboard just fine

Controller is the generally preferred method, but M/KB is perfectly fine. Did my first play through on PTDE with M/KB no problem. Only reason I haven't done it again is getting used to a game like this again with it over controller (in which you can thank me being conditioned to controller since Demons Souls).

DS:R has easely the best KB&M support out of any soulsgame on PC and a far cry from how bad it was with the original port. In terms of movement, KB&M actually has a huge advantage in these games, since you don't need the lock on, thanks to free camera controls via the mouse. In DS1, this is extra helpful, because you can only roll in cardinal directions, while locked on.

The only thing left, that could make it better, would be if you could have a separate key for rolling and sprinting. That may take some time getting used to.

I used to play with keyboard and mouse and it wasn't bad at all. Controller feels way better though imo
