I don't play FPS but I've been playing Fable on PC and I HATE keyboard controls but I love aiming with the mouse. It's so precise but keyboard is so lame to walk and such and it clearly wasn't made for gaming.

 

I've never played Fable on the PC so I can't really agree/disagree with what you said.

 

However, how about the bolded becomes 'certain types of games'?

 

 

I've also played other games with the keyboard and I always hated it. I guess I'm just too used to controllers. I dunno it feels more precise than arrows plus it's more comfortable. Keyboard controls feels either too stiff or just over do it (turn too much in the case of Fable). The only game I think keyboard is better for, is Sims, and you mostly use the mouse in this game.

Like I said, I don't play with FPS but I can't imagine how it's any different.

 

I'm comfortable with a controller and keyboard and going back and forth doesn't bother me at all (though not having a mouse is an annoyance in console FPS games). Maybe it's a matter of people are imtimidated with the keyboard as a game input device? Perhaps that could be the case, but the game I played most on our old Windows 98 PC was Freespace and Flight Simulator 98, which use practically all the buttons so I got used to it pretty quickly. That's not even counting Half-Life, which I recieved soon after.
