I think that if we can talk about this like adults.... (I hope)..... then we can solve the Controller vs Mouse & Keyboard thing once and for all....

I have played every game system since the N64. Handheld, console, computer, I have done it all. I have even played the atari and other joystick games. I worked at GameStop before as well.. So if there is one thing I know... it is how gaming works.

Okay, right now I play Call of Duty, Dust, Assassins Creed, Dynasty Warrior, Guild Wars 2, League of Legends, Dota 2, World of Warplanes, and one or 2 others here and there. So I play PC and PS3 right now during the weekend or off time. I use a controller on every one of those game EXCEPT League of legends and Dota 2. I PERSONALLY like to use a controller on most game, because I feel better playing with it. I have had people in GW2 kick me out of parties and stuff for using one just because they think KB/M is soooo much better. Well let me tell you something. I can live stream any time of the day me going into player vs player and destroy the other team and come out on top of mine. 1. because I know the game and 2. because I am playing the way I feel is the best FOR ME.

I tried a controller in LoL and dota, but those games are way way way better with KB/M simply because of the way it is set up. Now on GW2 I do use KB/M for certain aspects of the game based on mechanics and so on and so forth. If you are a TRUE GAMER, you would use what is best for you and welcome the chance to see other people try something that you have not seen before, because they thought of doing it and it is what helps them as a player. Who knows.... maybe if you TRIED the other options out there FOR A BIT, you may like it.

SO! the real answer to the debate is.... SHUT THE HELL UP AND LET PEOPLE PLAY HOW THEY WANT! Just because it does not work for you does NOT mean it is how the rest of the world works.

Well said. Been watching for someone to mention "trackball"

This may be possible, but again my not be due to Software limitations of the PS3. I cannot think of any PS3 game that allows movement input via D-Pad. Also, while this would eliminate the disparity in the ability to strafe, it (correct me if I am wrong) would do nothing to bring the turn speeds in line with eachother.
