Sleepy Shadow L.O.T.I.S. 54	Posted - 2013.09.02 14:22:00 - [1] - Quote Panther Alpha wrote: With a Keyboard and mouse you using practically you full upper torso... both hands, all you fingers, both of you arms, shoulders, and neck... you brain have to work twice as hard to coordinate all the fingers in BOTH of you hands, constantly none stop. With the DS3 you using 4 fingers .... that is all....most of the "Hard Work " is done for you... without even thinking about it. So it is "Logical", that the DS3 will eventually make you brain lazy.. compared to the busy mental activity that you have with the KB/M. It's Elementary, My Dear Watson.... What kind of creepy console players have you met? I have no idea how I could be using a controller if I didnGÇÖt use my upper torso, both hands, all my fingers, both my arms, shoulders and my neck. Do you think we lie down placidly on our sides using four fingers to somehow move the controller? What? How? Maybe some people have these awesome controllers that hold them upright and move their hands for them, but I sure donGÇÖt have one. I use six fingers to move and whatnot (thumbs on sticks/buttons, index fingers L1/R1, middle fingers L2/R2) and the other four are actually holding the controller in my hands. If I let go of those, the controller has this funny habit of falling from my hands. And what comes to KB/M and controller debate, the mouse will always be superior as your hand-eye coordination is better than your thumb-eye coordination. It is easier to follow a target using your entire hand instead of just your thumb. My problem is not with the mouse, I can aim that perfectly fine, my problem is with the keyboard. I donGÇÖt find it comfortable and I donGÇÖt have anywhere I could actually put it while I play, nor the mouse for that matter. I have desk that is on the other side of the room and for me to use it I would have to change everything around. But thatGÇÖs not the biggest issue; my biggest issue is that I have no interest in playing at a desk. I play console games to sit on my couch comfortably, not at a desk where I already have to spend most of my day (working at an office). When I come home I want none of that.
