Kane99 Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 When it comes to gaming, we're either using a controller or a mouse and keyboard. I have gamed mostly on consoles for the majority of my life, but since I got my first gaming PC built, I haven't really looked back. Well, I still use controllers on PC. But I found I use keyboard more often than I used to and have been considering switching to mouse and keyboard more often. But, have you ever had a hard time going back to a controller once you use a mouse and keyboard exclusively for a while? I feel like I would never stop using controllers for some games, but I'm starting to realize that maybe some games are best with a mouse and keyboard. First person shooters are probably best with a mouse and keyboard, and I think I'm finally going to make that change. Anyway, if you ever go back to using a controller, do you ever find it hard going back to playing that way? Or do you usually get used to it again faily quickly?

Boblee Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I believe that it goes both ways with what you started with and moved up to later. From console controllers to mouse and keyboard vice versa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 Personally, I don't really have any issues with transversing between them as I adapt very quickly to anyone that I switch to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I really don't think I can play efficiently with the keyboard via role-playing games, unless around motorcycle GP games or any other easy video games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most PC gamers would always tell you that it's far more better in control to play most games using mouse and keyboard unlike controllers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same thing with those who are more used to playing on PlayStation or Xbox consoles. They find it very hard to adjust to playing with keyboard and mouse.

That's their own selection, as for me, anything isn't played using a controller isn't going to be enjoyable. That's why I don't get to enjoy gaming with smart phone.

I never get in touch with that before, I have no experience playing video games with a keyboard nor a mouse via PC. Even when I played with my cousin's PC back in the days.

Darth Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Makes sense I guess since that is the new system that you have become accustomed to. As a long time console gamer, I always struggle a bit to play Valorant on my laptop. It just feels a bit too weird to control movement with your keyboard whilst shooting using a mouse.

Yeah, it's something that keeps happening to me when I was adjusting to playing with PC keyboard and mouse, after have used console controllers for ages.

Change is always essential, when I see reasons for it, I'll definitely try it out since is part of the key component of a PC, I'll simply use it too via gaming.

I actually find it that averagely easy to adapt and adjust from one gaming platform to another. Yeah, I played on consoles more but I have given more time to PC as well.
