KB/M left-right strafing:

1. Press A - instantly 100% speed strafe left
2. Press D - instantly 100% speed strafe right
Commentary: It is impossible to make the keys do less than 100% instant movement speed. They are digital - you move 100% or don't move. So you can - in fact, it is hard not to - achieve instant change from 100% left to 100% right by alternating A and D.

DS3 left-right strafing:

1. Push left on DS3 stick - instantly there is something like 5% movement left.
2. Then it is 10%, then 20%, then 30%, as you move the stick further left.
3. You only reach 100% movement left speed with the stick at (I believe) 95% to the left.
4. Push right on DS3 stick - you first go through 90%, 80%, 70% LEFT (i.e. the opposite of what you want...) as you move the stick from it's 95% left position.
5. Eventually you reach the central (neutral) position, then 5%, 10%, etc movement right.
6. You only reach 100% movement right speed with the stick at (I believe) 95% to the right.
Commentary: It is impossible to make the DS3 do more than 5% (approx) instant movement speed. It is analogue - you cannot help but 5%, then 10%, etc as the stick slides across. So you cannot achieve instant change from 100% left to 100% right by alternating left and right; the biggest instant change you can achieve from 100% left is to go to something like 90% left (the wrong direction).

Hmmm. Sounds like you're implying that it takes you more than 0.2 seconds to sweep the left stick from full left to full right. That must be one huge sweep ark. What do you have for a left d-stick, an ape hanger?

Ah well, if you want to go there... You admit that I have 4+ years more experience than you playing PC FPS. I also have arcade experience going back to 1974 and console gaming going back to 1977.

I understand the misguided point you're trying to make. I say it's misguided as I have actually tested this in game to see that I can get the same strafe results with both controller and keyboard. If you can't get the same results, train your left thumb. The advantage, if any, is negligible. It's like saying that if someone's arm is .001 millimeters longer than your's then they have a undeniable advantage in reach height. The difference is actually so small as to be unnoticeable.

It won't give you the edge you think it will and you'll loose the auto-aim edge the controller gives you. But you're more than welcome to join the keyboard/mouse community.

How many times are you gunna throw that out there like it means something?

Congrats you were playing games in the 90s and own a pc you are in the exclusive club of just about everybody.

Take away DS3s momentum and make them twitch left and right at 100%, problem solved, but wait that would mess with controller users aim that they've gained after months of not having their control scheme tweaked with every Fing patch, lets just tweak the KB and mouse a bit more, they won't mind getting bent over a little bit more.

Well I'm sure there are many gamers on here with the same amount of experience you have, and there are those with more. In the end, waving your e-peen means nothing as no-one but you cares.
