In the past the KB/M put you at a huge advantage because you can spam a/d to strafe faster than a DS3 could, making KB/M players impossible to kill in CQC.

And no, it is not possible with the controller.

The problem with the KB/M has nothing at all to do with the game and AA. It's the fact that there's a huge physical disparity between the two.

Using a mouse requires far less muscle movements and provides much more accurate precision simply based on the way you can physically move the device. You are controlling the X and Y axis on a single fluid movement of your arm and wrist. A DS3 has to use two thumbs tilting in separate directions to achieve what a flick of the wrist can.

To do an easy example to prove this point : Draw a circle in the air using your gun. While both can be easily accomplished on either input device, it's obvious to anyone with minuscule intelligence to notice that the person with the Mouse not only drew a much better circle (in terms of attempting to draw a perfect circle), he achieved it much faster. I know this to be fact, for my 10 year old nephew had no issues answering the question when i asked him which looked more like a circle. Then proceeded to let him do it, and acquire the exact same results. Just to drive the point, i asked him which was easier to do it with. "The mouse of course!"

Point number 2 : If the KB/M / DS3 are truly balanced and there is absolutely no difference between them, then why did CCP implement "limitations" on the KB/M to "simulate the DS3" so that there is "no unfair advantage" in their competitive enviroment? Then proceed for 2 years to try and "attempt a fair balance between the two inputs"? Strange, if they are already balanced why all the stress and frustration of failing miserably to achieve balance between the two? And why hasn't there been any other console FPS to try and achieve this balance? Why have some reviewers on Dust made the statement that CCP is the first company to try and create a balance between the Controller and the KB/M?

Point number 3 : I challenge you to find any FPS game currently released that has a community that is debating on if KB/M / DS3 are balanced or not. I'll help you ; they don't exist. There isn't a single other FPS game where KB/M users claim absolute balance between two obviously imbalanced forms of controlling input. This is the only community that has repeated the same bulshit about KB/M they actually started to believe it.

It's honestly quite interesting to see how so many people are choosing to ignore what is common logic in the gaming world.

GÇ£Naturally, support for these devices means that different players in the same match might be using different controllers. Our matchmaking system allows us to support all of these input devices without disrupting the balance of the game GÇô youGÇÖll be matched against players who perform at your skill level, regardless of what controller you (or they) choose to use. The system maintains a separate ranking for each input device, so players should feel free to experiment with each one.GÇ¥
