New to KB and Mouse Gaming on Mac

[BattleBabe1]

Hello everyone,

I played PC games way back in the day, the good old point and clock games. Haven't been a computer gamer in years and need some advice for games.

I play on a Mac. Please don't comment if you only want to hate on me for that. I am currently playing Valheim with controller but want to play games that would use the same type of mechanics that would get me practices so I can play V with a keyboard and mouse.

Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

TIA

That war with mac and microsoft and linux is over many years ago, its more like you bought it, you have to live with it and find groups or curators or other forum where mac specific is the news room for you ( and many games is made to all 3 system, so that war died there.

And as gamers do we real care on what system, its more like you hope game is made for your system.

I'm sure many user feel like there is a issue, and what prevent you have 3 pc with all system, so no, thats your problem. whatever issue you might have with a game with that OS.

if you did not know this old system has got a cult gear today, c64 and amiga even.

yes, we all fall for mine is better then yours in the old days, but pc keep change so how will you compare anything.
that was old dayc with c64 and spactrum, today i dont care, i even love schooldaze from spectrum before a c64 game was made or was it to amiga. so you see it don't matter anymore.

You need more to figreout where is my game i like and do they make it to my system. or do i need a pc with that OS. or learn to live it, you cant play it on your system, or dont have game requirements.

Thank you buy you are missing the point of my question. I was looking for suggestions for games that are run like Valheim but would ease me in to play with a keyboard and mouse, a less hectic games that would give me practice.

I struggle with keyboard and mouse so far and am just looking for some helpful game suggestions that are Mac compatible as that is my computer and I love my Mac’s and won’t be changing!

I understand where you're coming from but beware most people here are PC players and will be extremely biased.

I personally am primarily a Windows PC gamer. I don't use Mac computers not because I hate Apple, but because Mac systems aren't designed with gaming in mind. I do think they have Mac desktop towers called Mac Pro that has a dedicated GPU but it's more designed for productivity workloads instead of gaming.

First of all, normally I would ask someone the specs of their system to figure out if it can run a game/program. So if you have a description or model of your Mac system that would be helpful.

Second, here is link to Steams MacOS compatible titles: https://store.steampowered.com/macos

Third, as far as I know Apple includes or sells those very low profile keyboards and mice peripherals, I just visualize that you're using something similar so if you are, I'd say those aren't ideal. If you're serious about trying to game with mouse and keyboard and want to do it ergonomically and comfortably, I suggest investing in a gaming mechanical keyboard and a gaming mice with dpi adjustment options.

here is a link to Apple's online store under accessories showing they list some gaming peripherals from Corsair if you scroll down:

Any FPS is good training grounds for KBM play. Doom (the one from 2016) is an easy pick. Also Prodeus & Turbo Overkill.

Also, anything entirely mouse-driven. Take Any RTS (my personal recommendation would be the C&C anniversary remaster).

Puzzle games, the ones where you do have to solve complex tasks, would be helpful as well. SpaceChem springs to mind, heavy use of mouse.

Grand strategy & City Builders tend to have complex interfaces best (if not only) navigated with the mouse. One of the Anno titles or Civilization would be an easy pick if you like the genre.


... or you forego all of this and play directly the game you want to play, namely that V. If by "V" you eam "V Rising", you can play it with a gamepad. It's not like you NEED a mouse for certain videogames. I've been PC gaming for over 2 decades now and I always keep a gamepad handy for games I can just as well play with one as they don't lose a thing (unlike FPS' which heavily do) when played with one. V Risikg looks like one of those games that don't.

Maybe you shold look at steam categories to find game, so many point and click is there.
and you need a mac user input, many here are not mac users, its not that simple what is made for mac , untill you set steam to do that. ( just like i did with windows. )
