I messed up my hand so I relate to you on this issue. It was really bad at first but I eventually got used to it. This was really good to hear that somebody else has this kind of issue.
Normally I play PVE for Destiny, so keyboard was generally the way to go due to my thinking being, "ooohhhh controller is for pvp!!!!1!" but after New Territory got released I started playing PvP and I realized that it didn't really matter what you used
I use KBM + Controller so whenever I have to use my Xbox or PS5 for any game, I can easily fit back into it and enjoy my time instead of struggling with certain controls. For me personally KBM is a lot easier to handle and a lot less weird to feel and use. Controller grips just don't fit into my hand correctly, so keyboard is my way to go! :D
I switched over to controller from KBM a few years back just to have a “relaxed” gaming experience after a long day of work and for some unknown reason, I never played on KBM again. Maybe because all of the games I play has controller support and I can just lean back and game comfortably. Who knows next time I might use a dance mat to play Elden Ring just for something different!
I have found myself experiencing the opposite surprisingly. I used to primarily play games with a controller but as time passed and i started using keyboard and mouse i noticed a much easier feel of control over small movements which help me a lot.
Started on controller, switched to mnk and recently switched back. Paddles on controller have made a world of different. I feel more relaxed playing and can do almost anything I would have on mnk with the right adjustments.
Back whenever Last Word got it's massive PC nerf, I tried swapping over to controller due to what I heard about it's capabilities with sniping, and I fell in love as a PvP player with it since then. Both input devices have their merits! I actively do PvE to keep my keyboard and mouse skills up, while also doing PvP on controller to ensure neither get rusty! It's been good to train both input options.
AA on controller much better for snipes and certain weapons but if you want a more movement based gameplay then kbm would probably be better for flicks and generally being able to make close up shots a lot easier. Shotties in particular as a lot easier to flick left on someone close
I used to play competitive COD on controller and play scrims and I was actually doing well and at some point played in some lobbies with pros but then when school picked up I stopped playing completely and my friends were all PC players so I switched and never looked back. When I tried to go back to controller for some random scrims one day I was complete trash so now I can only play Elden ring and mortal kombat and play everything else with a MNK. Maybe if I practice long enough I can get it back but sadly I am probably washed. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
I've been replaying Hades recently (the first one, before 2 came around) and realized that i actually swap input methods for different weapons. Apparently it's "cursed", both inputs are fine, but people tend to stick with a single one. For Destiny thou, i use keyboard and mouse exclusively
I usually play single player games with controller, meanwhile use MK for FPS, but I play destiny with controller, because I started from the first chapter on xbox 360 and now for 10+ years I have more confidence with the gamepad rather than MK of course
As a player with a good spread between both input methods I would definitely agree with the inability to properly track close up targets. As for having better game sense, I really feel like a controller gets me dialed into the game more. It just feels more fluid especially at those perfect mid range engagements. I will always prefer that ability to snap with my mouse though :) Hope that hand heals!
i had to start using my controller cause my mouse is a little busted and i cant afford a new one right now, and ive actually been enjoying it quite a bit. leaning back in my chair and playing in a more relaxed way has been super nice
I switch between the two! I don’t know if I am “better” with one though. It is just different. Pros and cons with both. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity and your thoughts on input style!
I'd say that controller can make engagements much easier at mid to long range over mouse and keyboard. But to me I feel like I have no control over a close up fight because it takes way too long to look around. Another thing that makes me think that controller is kinda worse aswell is sliding and jumping, having to take my thumb off the stick to slide or jump is so annoying and means I can't aim as easily.
I like the idea of playing on opposite input of choice, just to hone your abilities and work on different aspects on the game. Work on positioning, engagement distance, ability usage. Get in the mindset of improving and getting better. Might very much try controller myself.
this is the second video ive seen today that can be summerised as "i used a controller and had more fun on a videogame" and for the record i use both imputs on destiny. controllers make games feel more casual imo because your focusing less on imputs and more on the game, the AA takes away alot of stress as its so forgiving.
I wouldn’t say more fun. I just think crucible was easier because of the crutch aim assist. Every other part of the game was miserable since I couldn’t play the way I’m used to
@paragon5186 so you're not happy that AA made the game easy, but hated that it was easier? So, by my understanding, you enjoy it more when you have to put more effort in for the same result. I really don't understand controller rants
@@wayne7135 Crucible was easier when using automatics and burst weapons. everything else was harder. Aim assist works its intended for controller player. its not a rant, there were strengths there were weaknesses. i dont like how strong the AA was but i understand the need for it. Once my hand is healed i will be switching back full time to M&K
I have always liked M&K for the freedom of movement and being able to map the keys to whatever i want; i have big hands so having the keys spaced out feels more comfortable considering the amount of actions we can perform. Maybe i would switch to controller if we get a gamemode focused on vehicle combat someday (be it tanks or spaceships) just because there would be less inputs to worry about and vehicle movement feels more intuitive with a stick for me (i might have over 8000 hours of need for speed and ace combat playtime, all on controller).
For me it really just depends on the day and what activity. I play on PC and will often switch from mnk to controller if I feel like it. Nothing inherently wrong with either.
Been a controller player for life i also had my left hand injured And it was wrapped up in a cast and then a brace for 5 months a while back and that forced me to adapt now i feel like i play even better on controller because of that but i always wonder if im holding myself back by not trying to switch to M&K maybe one day 😂
I have tried using a controller with Destiny 2 but i just can't have fun because of how slow i turn vs being able to quickly do a 180 with a mouse, plus i prefer having the ability to have custom keybinds.
I've been a controller player all my life and i love playing on controller however I've played few games with mouse and keyboard (not compatitive games) and for me mouse and keyboard are better the movement and the freedom you get playing on mouse and keyboard is something you can't get using the controller
I use only MnK for Destiny simply because I have never owned Playstation or Xbox. The first time I got controller in my hands actually was when SEGA launched Yakuza 0 in steam. I thought I ought to play it on controller so I just bought one for my PC. I cherish this experience :) Completely agree with superior aim assist in Destiny though. When I watch my fav Destiny streamer he is rolling over crucible lobbies on controller, but his results on PC are not so glorious :D
Used to always play controller even when i switched to pc but destiny is the only game i switched to M&K on it just feels 10 times better especially with how many key kinds there are it makes it alot easier.
I play certain games with kbm and others with controller. I definitely think it depends on preference but for me i have an easier time playing with controller on most games but there are some others that I have an easier time playing with on kbm. Ultimately I prefer controller in the end but i don't mind playing with kbm either.
“The aliens actually made controllers to use up their asses. You know? Jamie pull up that one video of that alien sticking the Nintendo 64 middle prong into his rectum”
Personally I like controller better cuz there is fewer buttons and you don't have to remember them but in keyboard there was much buttons for different things I had to keep going back to settings to remember but in mouse and keyboard the look sensitivity is really good but I used controller so much when I use mouse and keyboard it's not that hard but pretty hard for me
I play mouse and keyboard for shooters because of the way it feels, I can't do controller for shooters because most of the time I just can't snap around to aim fast enough compared to mouse. I've never tried controller with destiny, but I have a friend who plays controller and does well.
Used controller all my life and can't afford a pc always found it fun and consistent but I think M and K has an advantage though mechanical skill definitely
easier controls/layout as in I feel like I have to grip a controller like a mad man in a fps to get some sort of good use out of it and that's just not for me
I have been a keyboard & mouse player ever since I was 6 years old. I grew up using that input and using a controller instead just feels wrong to me I even completed games like Elden Ring and Monster Hunter World on mouse & keyboard even though people recommend against using that lol
I play games on a nicer than average laptop that I bought for hobbyist coding. The first game I bought for pc was monster hunter world, which didn't work well with the normal mouse I had, so I looked for and bought a not normal mouse. The mouse I have has 3 main buttons instead of the usual 2 (pointer, middle, ring), 5 spine buttons instead of the usual 1(scroll wheel), and 12 buttons on the side instead of the usual 0. Currently for shooters (like destiny) I have weapon swaps on the spine buttons, crouch/slide on my ring finger, and abilities on the side buttons. I like having my left hand only doing movement and my right hand doing everything else. I have played some controller but never really liked it. Even with the AA I prefer the feel of KBM, its much more click clacky
I like the idea of mnk but im not a computer person. series x.after work i just want to lay down and fall asleep in orbit or while in transit to a crucible match.

Does the question only apply to Destiny or any games in general? Also, i hope you have a speedy recovery, brother.
Really just give me any controller vs keyboard comparison and why you think it would be better or not
I usually just stick to controller. Haven't had the chance to really use mnk in a while
My left hand is a bit messed up so I used a controller until 2018. Got an MMO mouse that helps with the mobility issues and I've been on MnK since.
i just dont vibe with having 20+ buttones i feel that i would hit the wrong one
Used to always play controller even when i switched to pc but destiny is the only game i switched to M&K on it just feels 10 times better especially with how many key kinds there are it makes it alot easier.
I like controller better, mainly cause I play on the Xbox, cause it feels easier to use than a M&K and I’m not sure why but gunplay feels smoother.
I play certain games with kbm and others with controller. I definitely think it depends on preference but for me i have an easier time playing with controller on most games but there are some others that I have an easier time playing with on kbm. Ultimately I prefer controller in the end but i don't mind playing with kbm either.
Always used a controller as i cant afford a pc but ive always found it fun but i definitely think that MnK had an advantage throigh mechanical skill
Joe Rogan from your president videos would probably disagree and persuade you to stay on mouse and keyboard because of some dumb reason.

I swap between both depending on how I feel. But I mainly I play on controller.

I cannot wrap my head around controller, I play mouse and keyboard since I heavily prefer the camera control and in my opinion easier controls/layout

I play with controler, because i only have a pc to play the last year, and more than 10 years of using a controller its hard to change hah.
Im mnk there for I go brrr

I normally play wiht mnk but for sidearms i do think they are better with a controller
I'm a controller player because Ive been playing on Playstation since D1 came out. I've been a console gamer for 18 years. I can't afford a PC
if i get a pc sponsor you will be the first to get one
@@paragon5186 Really? You serious?
Im a mouse and keyboard player ive never gotten into controler ive always prefered MaK for the freedome of movement it offers
the skill ceiling is higher
I love using pulse rifles with my controller, aim assist is just so satisfying compared to mouse and keyboard, ps4 controller is THE GOAT 🤩
I’ve played on mouse and keyboard my whole life, I personally just can’t play on controller, it just dosent work in my head
I never got Lightfall until the PS+ freebie, so if I'm ever doing Lightfall content it's obviously on controller. Otherwise, M&K all the way
I like the idea of mnk but im not a computer person. series x.after work i just want to lay down and fall asleep in orbit or while in transit to a crucible match.
