You are applying the term computer to literally, you are assuming a computer is like the one sat in your back room, this is a marketing ploy.

A computer is merely an assortment of hardware and software, capable of repeating a task consistently many times.

The keyboard and mouse is actually a rather new invention, it was invented only 30-40 years ago. Yet "computers" have been around much longer. The first home computer cost -ú100 it didn't have a screen a keyboard or a mouse, just a seriesmof switches. So really a keyboard is just a simulation of switches!

So I am petioning for CCP to accept a 5+ù5 wall of switches as valid input as well!!

And you have yet to actually answer my question, all you have done is tell me that kb/m should be accepted because its a computer, that isn't sufficent!

The Mouse was invented in 1952 ( over 60 years ago ) Source

The keyboard is even older 1870 ( over 140 years ago ) Source

You are going to have to pay me soon for all this free teaching .....

The computer, keyboard and mouse development are connected with each other, one won't exist without the other. All the technology we have to day is based in that 3 inventions. The DS3 one day will be absolute by something else, but Keyboards and Mouse will always exist in one form or another.

Resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.

Sorry.... i been watching to much Star Trek recently .....

Lol, actually evidence suggests that the computer industry is falling, moore's law won't apply soon because the kb/m and apple are slowing us down, we are on the precipice of new input method, if moores law is to continue!!

But I see the point your trying to make, so Ill try and rephrase the question, if the keyboard and mouse was the other way with the controller, (so controller becomes input method for even home computers) why would we allow raw input of the kb/m then?

I don't think we are that far away from using our fingers to control movement, and voice commands to activate functions. That will be Computer control in the absolute form. Maybe even use our Brain as a controller. ( yes, our brain could potentially do that, with the right technology ). Of course.. when that happens we won't have to worry about "Devices".

I just going to ignore you time travel paradox. What we have is what we have. The what IF things was different paradox, is irrelevant.

so your effectively ignoring the whole argument we just had?
Pigeon . Chessboard

Fine.... Raw Input is how the mouse suppose to work without filters. A bit like a car without power steering, is not necessarily an advantage. I guess the same rules applies to the Analog stick. I can't see why Raw Input in the mouse will be such a big problem.. most people will rather have mouse filters anyway. ( Mouse Smoothing , Acceleration, Dead zone ... and so on. )

Raw Input is more a user preference.. a bit like Power Steering for a Racing Driver.

The reason you emulate the kb/m on a console game, is to limit the physical advantages, the kb/m is a technologically superior input system. Emulation turns into a preference, at most you should expect custom binding, something I would like on the controller as well!!

Hell yes ... a mouse without some type of deadzone is very hard to control, even things like acceleration, or smoothing helps to make the mouse extremely accurate. Remove all that filters, and most people will find the mouse a paint in the ass to use. If anything Raw Input will make the mouse more of a challenge to use.
