Honestly... screw kb&m. This is a console game. You can't have both on one system.
You're method is superior to controllers in every aspect, its scientifically been proven for the last 30 years. That's why controllers have consoles to play on and kb&m had their PCs...
If you seriously want equality, it can never happen. You can only be gimped to being worse than a controller, or made to be better. The differences between the to platforms are too great to make equal. And kb&m has more advantages over controller, so how do you make it equal?
By giving controllers insane Aim Assist? They already tried that... people didn't like it. Back in Beta, all I used was kb&m on DUST because it was still superior to controller. To be able to land EVERY shot from an SMG from 50m away can kill anyone. It was easy mode, especially since the controller is whack to use in DUST.
In my experience, the lack of precision in the controls in the number 1 reason people quit this game. |

You know, when PS1 and N64 consoles cae out back in the day, it was finally a console that could support long time PC games. Such as DOOM, Quake, etc.
Games like Need for Speed were built exclusively for Consoles. So the debate started, can we have cross platform games?
The answer, was of course. You can have Need for Speed on PC, you can Have DOOM on your N64. Then the debate came up for DOOM to be able to use KB&M on the Nintendo 64. Back then, Nintendo simply said they weren't going to bother making something that third party controllers could used on, they already had enough lose in business from that.
Then, the next generation consoles had something amazing, they could do what PC people had been doing for a decade prior, and that was online play. Enter Call of Duty multiplayer, and Counterstrike...
It was determined by every video game publication ever made that KB&M was superior. For 2 very simple, yet large, reasons.
1. Ergonomics- You used more muscle and precision using the KB&M. You're entire forearm has better movement and control than one of your thumbs or fingers. Your point on the screen could line up with your mind's eye better with KB&M. A good example of this is, try to draw 5 circles with a mouse using a paint program. different sizes. Now, try to do it with the a analog stick. That's why Kontrol Freaks, those analog extenders, work better, because they increase your movement range & to better be like a mouse. A mouse is said to be the equivalent of 20 Kontrol Freak add-ons. And why top gamers in the world of FPS use what is called the "Claw" grip on there controller.(look up what that is)
2. Speed control- A controller is set at a specific speed for movement. You can adjust the sensitivity, but its finite. You set it to 10, you move it left, it will go 10 speed every time. With a mouse, you can control how fast you move the mouse, and how far you move it. You can also change direction camera better (because in actualality, in FPS, you're moving the camera, not the character... kind of like rotating the Earth to suit your POV. Think how racing games have the car in the middle of the screen at all times) by pressing keys, than moving the analog stick.
The list as to why KB&M and superior has been noted. Sure, there are few exceptions on a game-by-game basis. But KB&M is better. A mouse is a better tool. This why you are reading this forum using a mouse to scroll with, and not a controller. So, consoles made games for controllers and PCs for KB&M. Consoles got aim assist to compensate for the lack of precision KB&M has so games wouldn't be total clusterf*cks. So, when you try to mix them, like DUST has... it creates a problem.
So, should KB&M be a viable platform on DUST 514? Sure, if you get rid of controllers too. The reason KB&M can even be used on a PS3 is because of the browser (again, a mouse being better to work with than an analog stick). And, because of the USB port being a more efficient design for manufacturing and devices.
You can't have KB&M and Controller on the same platform and expect them to be equal, 100% impossible.
