Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers.

    Mouse and keyboard has never felt right for most games for me.

      Seeing people play something like Assassin’s Creed on mouse and keyboard is just wild.

      It’s better for FPS games and worse for action games.

        Don’t forget about RTS, MMO and some CRPG.

            I don’t know about that, I wouldn’t want to play a fighting game with standard keyboard. An ergonomic keyboard could work though. FIn any case from what I’ve seen those guys either play with a gamepad or an arcade stick.

      I came up on pads for everything, and still do it for stuff like the Arkhams, Silksong, and various forms of platformer, but FPS? Once you’ve mouse aimed, the joypad just feels clunky.
