The only reason why I'd use a controller on PC is if it was pretty much needed, like DMC4 or something. As for shooters, M and KB hands down

Exactly. In other words, PC ports of console games. Like Tomb Raider, Gears of War, etc. I can't stand even trying to use kb/m controls for console games like those. Or any SF/fighting type game either. It's ridiculous.

Offhand I'd say there are too many older PC games that either don't have pad support, or poor support to make the claim that the PC is a game pad standardized environment when it clearly isn't.

The only PC game pad I use is a 360 controller which doesn't work with most PC games, hence the extreme lack of PC gaming that I do with a pad. It was a novelty to play Crysis with a 360 pad once, to see how it would control on a console, but that was the last time I bothered.

But for the vast majority of non or poor pad supported games, it's just easier to use a keyboard anyway if that was the way the game was originally designed to be played.
