100% depends on the game. Something that needs motion accuracy, like a shooter, I want keyboard and mouse. Acceleration control, like racing games, I go with a controller.

Depends on the game…
Shooters, keyboard + mouse.
Driving games, flight simulator, etc… controller.

Depends on the game. Third-person action games and retro titles I prefer to play with a controller. RTS are M/KB all the way. Everything else I try a bit of both to see what scheme feels best.

Depends a lot on the game, but I lean toward controller most if the time because I came from a laptop

Literally anything that’s not an fps gets the controller

Depends entirely on the game.

Europa universalis too?

Havent seen a good RTS recently, if ever I get an urge to do RTS i always go back to games that were released years ago.

The Age of Empires Definitive Editions are great. Same gameplay as the original releases, but some substantial QoL improvements, new civilizations and units, and ongoing balance patching.
Greensssss t1_j6kd513 wrote
Maybe ill try that out. Was thinking of going back to RTS again.

Usually KB+M, but something like a third of my games are better with a controller.

Personally, I wouldn’t play it because it’s not the type of game I’m generally interested in but I ceed the point. I doubt that would be fun to play with a controller.

Always keyboard

Anything shooter is keyboard for sure.
I have HOTAS for flight games
I used a controller for Mutant Football League and Road Rash or whatever the newer version is called

Controller. Grew up on consoles mostly so the keyboard feels odd

Company of Heroes 3 releases next month.

I don't know, maybe it could end up like the guy who finished dark souls with a guitar hero guitar

Controller, exclusively, and I don't really play online games so I'm not too concerned about the disadvantage. Only thing I really got into for a bit was Halo where a controller actually has the edge.

K&M.

Controller. I don't know how one plays a video game with a keyboard.
comcphee t1_j6ks64d wrote
Definitely. Usually keyboardand mouse, but sometimes I get the controller out. Rarely, but for something like Gang Beasts or Broforce I will.

Learn how to set up configs with Steam Input/input mapper or choice and use a controller for everything

Can't wait to see you play Uplink with a controller.

I have started AoE4 recently and its fun

Always game dependent for me
Zerthax t1_j6lal33 wrote
Definitely varies by genre, but I'd say generally the Steam controller

Driving, sports, wrestling games and 2d fighters: controller. Everything else: keyboard and mouse
DireGuineaPig t1_j6lw5zt wrote
Keyboard and mouse. Even for games which would probably suit a controller better.

Keyboard for most games but sometimes I pull out a flight stick + throttle or a fight stick for the genres that kinda need their own dedicated controller. I'd probably get a racing wheel if I ever got into those.
Sleepykitti t1_j6m59p4 wrote
think of it as a digital controller with 104 buttons lol
RogueTommy t1_j6m9073 wrote
For me it's very game based. For most I will use K&M but for the Souls series, two 2d platformers(speedrunners and RoR) and some basic racing games I will use controller. Now I also have a wheel for certain more "realistic" racing games and things like ATS as well as looking to set up a flight sim rig though probably early next year after I buy a house.

You'll have to find me first (runs out of the room while spinning 360 degrees, which is easy because I'm using a controller)!
the_npc_man t1_j6mlzzq wrote
Kbm for FPS except Destiny 2, gamepad for everything else.
Most RTS and CRPG are kbm only by design, so no choice there.

I was in an RTS depression, I'm very picky and these are my main 4.
Red Alert Series Age of Kings Halo Wars 2
And my favorite of all time:
Lord of the Rings: Battle for Middle Earth 2.

Would love to see Sony try and combine their vr controller with like a mmo mouse.

Depends on the game. Rocket league? Controller. Sim? Wheel and pedals. Shooter? Keyboard and mouse... Or the Wii zapper

Controller since I am mainly a console gamer and it's easier for me
