Poll: mouse vs. controller

[bladester1]

my friend and i have been having this debate about which is better for many months, i personally think that the mouse is better b/c you have more accuracy, and such. so what do y'all think?

 

[PurpleRain]

I think this threads been done before if I'm not mistaken.

Anyway, to answer the question: Controller. That's only because I'm used to owning a console.

Also, spelling isn't that hard to do. Take a little time out and get your grammer right. Capital letters people.

Controller for FPS. Mouse for RTS. Thats my opinion anyways.

 

[Portoparty]

Mouse for pretty much everything except for flight sims, which you should buy a joy stick for.

Oh your so silly

Like Sennet said: Better for what?

Controller hands down for fighting games, as well as those played within the third person perspective.

Otherwise I need the range and accuracy of a mouse.

Well, the mouse is better for things that involve precision acts. But, controllers are for things like Mortal Kombat, or anything like fighting. First person shooters are way better with a mouse than with a controller.

I chose mouse, and then I thought of the wii controller and I want to take it back. Blast you polls!

 

[Necrohydra]

Given the stipulations of the poll - "other". I'm waiting for the virtual reality set-up that reads movement. Or one that reads my brainwaves.

..hey, you didn't say it had to exist yet!

As Purple said, controller because I'm used to it. Though, I don't mind using the mouse for FPS.

|I think it depends both on what game you're playing and what you're used to. I'm fairly sure that one of the reasons I traded Halo 3 after playing only 1.5 levels is that I found it very difficult to use the controller for an FPS.

That said, I completed both Bioshock, The Darkness and Condemned 2 with a controller, so there may be less in that than I thought.

keyboard + Mouse is better definitely for FPS and RTS
For starters the xbox controller waste 6 fingers which makes reaction times slower.
and my thumbs are short and stubby so i have to shift my hand to reach the top buttons.
Controllers are only work in adventure and fighting games.

 

[Markness]

I choose controller, but only because Keyboard are geared towards right-handers and to play properly I either have to cross over my arms or change all the controls.

 

[Erana]

I can never do any FPSing with a mouse. Perhaps its because I always have my mouse on an extremely high sensitivity...

 

[aussiesniper]

I'm mostly an FPS player. mouse and keyboard above all else!

 

[MindBullets]

Mouse wins hands down for FPS and RTS. Most other games tend not to need the accuracy.

 

[disposable157]

Keyboard/mouse for FPS/RTS/RPG
Joypad for sims/fighting games
Wiimote for sports/driving games.

I used to play most of my games on PC (especially shooters) so I became really good at using the mouse. As time went on, I went to mainly MMO/TBS/RTS on the comp, so my killing skill decreased but I could still work it. THEN everyone in the world started playing Halo 2...then Halo 3...and CoD4, so now I'm stuck using a controller, even when I jump on Steam for TF2. Such a shame
