For precise inputs keyboards are really good, stuff like tactical shooters, a lot of custom fighting game controllers are basically just paired down keyboards too.
Keyboards are pretty fucking cool, analog sticks are easy to use and good if you need the 360 degree movement, but otherwise keyboards all the way.
You're misinterpreting my point. We can make a device with precise inputs that isn't a flat slab of buttons, we just haven't yet. This is not a gamepad vs. KBM argument.
that's a hitbox, you're talking about a hitbox
which is just a slab with less buttons on it
As you mentioned, it's still a slab, that is only good for a few genres of games. Basically, a flat controller without the analog sticks, which is opposite of ergonomic, and you don't use that with a mouse.
