Depends on the game. Strategy games, simulations, and shooters work well on KB&M. Driving, action games, and fighting games work well on controller. Some games like GTA 5 and Ghost Recon Wildlands I use both. KB&M for running around on foot and shooting, controller for driving/flying.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

100% didnt think about strategy games and the "both tactic" seems to be a good idea
What a narrow view. Totally depends on the game for me, I'm not playing a racing game or a platformer on mouse and keyboard, and I'm not playing a shooter or MMO with a controller. Also, show me how good you are at World of Warcraft or StarCraft with a controller, lol.
Speaking of MMOs on a controller. FF14 actually has some solid controller support. There’s a lot of people that have completed the more difficult raids only using a controller.
Valid argument, i guess i kinda focused on the games i play and not on what others might like
If only my thumb didn’t hurt after using a controller… sorry, I cannot agree with you :(
Depends on the game I think. Some games hurt my index finger if I try to play on m&k. It’s all about having a good economy of motion, regardless of the control method
Go to your next media store and try different controller sizes and joystick layouts, i personaly find my wrists to hurt very much after using a keyboard, but i can understand for some hands how it can hurt to use a controller, i have large hands.
Disagree. Keyboard is much more precise, and quick to react. Like, in Hollow Knight, if you have to change direction, it's much quicker to stop pressing right and start pressing left than move the stick to the other side
Ive actually spwcifically for 2d games read that they are unplayabke on kb, btw theres a d-pad
You don't have a finger dedicated to each button on the d-pad tbf. It's still considerably slower, but I would prefer a controller for most 2D games in general.
Same, i guess i take comfort over quickness
Keyboard isn't great for shooters but the mouse is essential so I put up with it.
I believe in PC masterrace but i really hate keyboards for gaming
Couch keyboard gaming sucks
I agree
Thank god for software like antimicrox
