People who like kbm will never understand why people who like controllers don't like kbm and vice versa. I think it's to do with the way their minds work or something.
I myself can see how kbm is the best for use with games like EvE Online that are somewhat abstracted by the presence of a computer interface interpreting everything for you and performing all the flight controls as if you had a crew and all you were doing was issuing orders. But put me in the position of actually controlling something, as in direct input, and I will go for a controller every time. The analog sensitivity with a controller is just superior. The only thing kbm has over a controller is that the mouse is much more accurate for aiming. If there was some facility to aim using some form of positional control (like a mouse) with a controller, even this drawback would be eliminated. |

I'm just worried that in a sea of kb-m players I would get smoked by them if I tried to use a controller. Well if it helps, yes, you would get smoked by kbm players if you try to use a controller. Word of advice to anyone planning to use a controller for nova... Don't
In the old days, I used to play Doom on PC and would use a kbm setup for that. I remember it worked fairly well, and the best part about it was the mouse for aiming. The worst part about it was the digital nature of the movement control - it was go or stop, nothing in between. I guess if you are used to just running or sprinting everywhere, then that's going to be the same with a controller anyway, but if you want fine control over such things, a controller will still be better.
The main issue would be how do you use a controller AND a mouse at the same time? I would think you could only use the left side of the controller (like the PS Move Navigator) and use the mouse for everything the right side of the controller did.
It was obvious some people in Dust were using kbm - their accuracy was just freaky. I could easily see how a mouse would make things so much better than a joystick for aiming. You could get close to that sort of accuracy with a joystick but it's never going to be the point-and-click accuracy of a mouse. |

There is no doubt that they'd be more accurate. Once you were used to the digital nature of the movement controls so that didn't detract, the point-and-click use of a mouse for aiming must be better. |
