Its not about the price, its the fact not everyone will have M&K

Sixaxis = better precision movement than Keyboard.
Mouse = better precision aim than Sixaxis.

In most modern games - but not all FPS games - on PC, using a mouse also allows you to pull near-instant 180 degree (or further) turns with the flick of a wrist.

Barring use of gaming mice with variable DPI settings, some of which (but not all) break DUST's turn speed cap and allow you to pull this same trick, there isn't a practical advantage to either controller choice that isn't balanced by a disadvantage.

Mouse is better for sniping, Sixaxis is better for CQC.

Both control schemes need a fair amount of work - in both customisability and in competent functionality.

I'm too old now, no longer play to compete so I don't need handicap. When I find time to play after days work I play to relax and have fun with my buddies. Otherwise I'd be on PC, playing Battlefield or Diablo.

And if your mouse is slow you might want to try another one or search the forums, and then stop the disinformation.

I am not going to replace a 120$ gaming mouse for another, if it has these specs on PC, if it doesnt have it on ps3 its because their support of it is crap.

200 inches per second max tracking speed

Until i get this response out of my mouse together with a smooth 60 FPS all day long, DS3 users don't need to worry about not being able to compete with these mouses.

I also think there is much to be said about controller responsiveness. This game feels like something ported from PC to a console, rather than a console game in terms of controller sensitivity. It is painfully obvious to anyone who plays as a sniper - you cannot make fine adjustments on the game pad - if you move right stick just a bit the reticle does not move at all; if you put a bit more pressure, it just jumps over your target. There is no effective fine tuning on a controller. Admittedly, this problem used to be a lot worse early in the Beta but it is still glaring. Poor controller responsiveness compounds the problem with K&M superiority.

I'm pretty sure you can pick up a K&M cheaper than a ps3 controller

K/M is here to stay, move on.

First off you assume im a child that has only played games on the PS3 and that's not true at all. I have been playing FPS games and other types of games since Atari when i was young. there is no excuse for not using a PS3 controller for PS3 game. We all have had to learn controllers from the NES,SNES,N64, Gensis, Xbox, Playstation, Wii, and Keyboard and Mouse while playing Doom and battlefield 1943. When i play over a friends house that owns a Xbox that I dont own, The last thing I do is scream this game sucks because I cant use my PS controller. Instead I slowly start to learn the Xbox controller, that to this day I still don't find comfortable but became pretty good at GTA 4 with it. I would never buy an Xbox on the logic that I wouldnt need to use the Xbox controller ever.

All I have seen from the forum over the months is that Eve players love to scream adapt , till they have to and that has only been the PS3 controller. That CCP ran in to fix faster than Menus, Spawning, Hit detection, or a purpose to play Dust without an Eve account.

The thing is, the PC market is marginal compared to the console market. Any game that is mutiplatform, look at the PC sales, they are always abysmal in comparison to PS3 and 360.

I dont mind Kb/M and AUR as long as there is a filter to search games without Kb/M and AUR.

and for the last time , its not about the price of Kb/M , some people dont like to play with Kb/M or dont have the space to set up a Kb/M place and its not fair to those people and last time i checked Dust514 is on PS3 wich is a CONSOLE and MOST of PS3 users use dualshock

with no filter to set for Kb/M and AUR matches Dust514 is doomed to fail

Everyone's PS3 came with USB ports, do with them what you will.

These threads are pointless.

Also youre bitching about being an EVE mini game IS BULL ****! seriously every one plays in the same giant sand box what could be cooler. EVE took over half a decade to be mostly player run, expect the same for dust, we are not a mini game we are in the growing pains where we are still trying to get the game self sustaining, and its gonna take a little bit.
