Keyboard+Mouse or Controller/Paddle for FPS?

[BiscuitSlash]

I almost always use controller if given the choice. I only resort to keyboard and mouse if the game really calls for it, such as FPS games (TF2 and MM8BDM for example) or other random examples such as Surgeon Simulator.

Games like Goat Simulator are good either way, so I use a controller there. For Mark of the Ninja I use keyboard and the laptops touch pad thing for some reason.

Using a controller when a mouse and keyboard are available is like ordering a well-done steak at an expensive restaurant then coating the whole thing in ketchup.

You just fucking don't.

Debatable. There's a handful of games like that where a controller is preferable.

While it isn't the greatest example, the PC version of DmC5 can be played with a mouse and keyboard.

I haven't tried it myself, but playing a Kamiya-inspired hack and slash without a controller sounds awful.

if its an FPS I will most likely use the mouse and keyboard, same with MOBAs and MMOs which really can't be played with controllers. In most other situations I'd try to take the controller option. I don't like the idea of play Sonic adventure or Dust with a keyboard. The only other genre I can think of where I wouldn't care about using a gamepad or not would be a turn based RPG unless its something like Paper Mario. However most of my emulators have my input for my gamepad already put in so I'd usually use that instead, less of a preference and more of a convenience.
