Depends entirely on the game, for example first person shooters are undeniably better with keyboard and mouse, but generally controllers are better for racing games and platformers.
Agreed, first person shooters, MMORPG, keyboard and mouse all the wayQuote:

Games Controllers for shooting anything are utter dross.
I personally use the controller where possible,
I don't play shooters and never play online multiplayer, so the performance or response issue is irrelevant to my gaming.
But it's that long since I used a keyboard and mouse for gaming, I just find it very difficult.
Well I bought a joypad for...... err..... something......
Oh, might have been that DOA game.
A friend of mine cosplays as Mai Shiruanianinuinininiuioiaiou-thingummy and I had no idea who she was, so I got the game to have a play.
That, or it was when Origin gave away a car racing game On The House...
Yeah, summat like that.
Keyboard + Mouse
But i use the steelseries merc stealth. Which for me feels way more comfortable than the usual wsad/arrow keys.

And then there are a few games where using my USB NES controller works better :)
Horses for courses an all that
I picked up Payday 2 on ps4 the other day since I played it loads on PC and I find it nigh on unplayable with the pad, but nobody's gonna use a mouse for FIFA or NFS.
FPS - keyboard and mouse
Beat em ups - has to be a controller
Since Borderlands 2 I use a controller for everything except the older GOG Games that are keyboard and Mouse only. Started this as I noticed my hands were starting to really hurt after playing for about an hour with keyboard and mouse so started out with a controller and now it is used for virtually everything.
I feel that only first person shooters really benefit from keyboard and mouse now, open world games, racing and so on are so much better with a pad.
Depends on the game, sometimes use both.
For instance Batman, use mouse and keyboard for movement etc but pick up the controller for when using the car.
Honestly I prefer the bongos
edit: KB&M is just fine for everything other than racing and potentially 3d platforming, I also prefer playing fighters with controller despite it technically being worse
For FPS and most things, KB/Mouse all the way! It's impossible to play an FPS without max auto-aim on a controller, period. Too slow, too imprecise.
I love my controllers for casual gaming. Anything that isn't FPS or that requires high precision.
Keyboard and Mouse since I can't get on with controllers,but maybe I do need to try to get used to them at the rate things are going with the PC! ;)
Utter brilliance!!Quote:

I've tried two or three pads but, cannot get on with them, partly because they don't seem to be designed for people with big hands (10 inch span). Now if they were offered in different sizes, like my Evoluent mouse, I might get on better with pads.
QOTW?
That's not a question, it's a joke.
KBM - it's a way of life!
For driving or flying I prefer controller, but anything else keyboard and mouse
Other than the Dark Souls franchise, keyboard & mouse.
Gamepads, due to their limitations, have removed a lot of the challenge we used to get in games. There is a reason why auto-aim and gamepads go hand in hand.
Both. FPS, MMOs, RPGs Strategy gimme a KB/M. Racing games, Platformers and Sports gimme a controller.
Joypad master race
Can't play fps game very well witch joystick
Keyboard and mouse is the ancient way
Keyboard & Mouse for me.
Mouse and keyboard for strategy games at least for me.
Keyboard & mouse.
come on now .. we have pc's so it's kb&m
only consoles should have a controller. it's for the lesser people that cant pat there head and rub there tummy
I now use my Steam controller as a wireless mouse when I'm watching stuff in bed, other than that, mouse and keyboard all the way!
I use to be a hardcore pc gamer would swear by the keyboard and mouse for all games. but then I had a house fire and lost all my pc stuff :( so I picked up a ps3 and now that I have a gaming pc ones more I use controller for almost all games ..I picked up a steam controller and I really like it for a lot of games but aiming in a FPS is so hard with it :(
Keyboard and mouse for pretty much everything, although for the odd game or two I\'ll use a controller purely because it just works better for the gameplay. I prefer to use keyboard and mouse though.
Keyboard and mouse.
I do the same with GTA V :)Quote:

But as others have said already, it depends entirely on the game itself, some work better with a keyboard/mouse (all first/third-person shooters for the most part IMHO) whilst many other games work better with a controller (for example, a game like little nightmares would be horrible without a controller, same for any sort of driving game.)
I just stopped gaming. Problem solved. :)
But really, I think for what I played in the past, keyboard and mouse are better. But now that much of my gaming time consists of playing alongside my kids, for the likes of LEGO games, platformers and various other games I play on the HTPC, a wireless controller is much more comfortable.
I still play adventure games and hidden object adventures, and these normally don't work with a controller, but I mostly play them on mobile, where touch is the interface.
I only play single player PC games with keyboard and mouse.
Keyboard & Mouse 100%
RTS, FPS, Strategy etc - Keyboard and Mouse
Console ports, 3rd person, adventure etc - Gamepad (Normally XBox controller)
Racing - Wheel
Horses for courses :)
All my gaming is practically Xbox, so joypad is my option. Though when I game on PC I still use the joypad. I've played a little FPS with KBM but I find it so twitchy, and really difficult to get into.
Naturally something like Total War is KBM only.
I wouldn't say one is better than the other, just what is right for you as an individual. All those saying KBM is the only way and that joypads are rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbish, etc, need to chill the F out and stop giving others a hard time. We're here for joy of gaming.
I've tried and tried to get on with a Joypad, I just can't! It's Kbd/Mouse for me, certainly for shooters anyway.
I'll use a wheel for driving games, which I play rarely, and on the even rarer occaision when I might wanna have 5 mins on a platform game, I might pick up the Joypad.
I use the Hotas a lot for Elite Dangerous.
I wish I could get on with a Joypad, as I'd love to play Rocket League, but it's not gonna happen lol.
