Noticed no difference in the launch version with a mouse, pleased to see it being worked on though, CQC using any weapon is awful, I've taken to holding the mouse still and strafing until the guy is in the crosshairs which is nuts for a modern shooter.

No, that does not keep both ends happy. Because it forces competitive console gamers to try to learn or re-arrange their living room to use KB/M. You'd **** off a majority of the skilled players that way. Without limits, players would have to use kb/m to be the best they can be.

So I got fed up with a guy nailing me with 100% accuracy using a Railgun today.. Watched the way the gun moved, knew it was a KBM..

I'm a DS3 user, but as I said I was fed up. So, I grabbed my KB/M and plugged it in to give it a go..

I have to say, it was not what I was expecting. Precise aiming is there, but it's so.. Unresponsive.. Quick spins of the mouse take have a delay before they take traction(and they don't even get far), but the tiniest twitch of my hand caused my aim to shift around. And don't even get me started on the key bindings.. What a headache.. I actually found myself reaching for the DS3 when I needed to do fittings, because I the bindings weren't clear, and the radial menu to outfit a suit was poor at beast.

Conclusion: *Both* of Dust's control systems need dire help. What a shame :(

Stop. Adjusting. The. Controls. Mouse and keyboard work just fine, DO NOT alter how they work. Just don't.

I think you just proved my point: Whenever CCP tinkers with the controls, it's a kick to the nuts for casual players, regardless if it made the game better of worse, because regular and mandatory re-learning hits the casuals hard.

And the HC players who can be identified from ragequits and childish metaphors will not be satisfied anyway. So, the options are either to stop kicking the casuals and have HCs whining or continue kicking the casuals and have HCs still whining.

Couple of other points:
-the rotary menu is now completely broken. It used to be that the diagonal options were hard to pick; now all options are next to impossible to reach. Takes more than 20 tries on average to get *any* option selected. This means the equipment in assault suits is so hard to use, I'm nowadays fitting only items that can be activated by other means than circular menu there.
-lefthanders are still in disadvantage. How hard can it be to toss in another set of bindings, as you have a system for switching between them already in place?

These UX bugs make it hard or impossible for some people to use some crucial features. They *should* have higher priority than fine-tuning features that already work in general. (and no, people saying that "the mouse responds differently than in game X" does not count as "not working". For what I've seen, people were well able to shoot and hit each other even with Uprising 1.3)

Your aiming assits system is actually really great so far CCP.

Remember, this game is on a console and supposed to be directed at console gamers, keep this in mind when listening to the 2% of your playerbase who use keyboards and mice. Don't let these rabid few modify you metrics.
