Do people have success with KBM on rocket league?? I used it a bit when I first started many years ago, but I have used a controller exclusively for a long time. I could be wrong but IMO, you are severely limiting yourself if you play with KBM. This is one of the few games where a controller is far superior. There are probably a few pro players who play with KBM, but for most people controller is going to be the best.
