where did i mention console fan boy? also notice the question mark after the "not big pc gamer..." question?

like i said, legit question.

"maybe he wants to play in his couch? maybe he wants to try it for vehicles? maybe he wants to try it for fun?"

maybe thats why i asked?

well, gazz. maybe you should have responded to his questions in a more timid way instead of jumping on the "i-know-best" high horse. pisses me off.

gazzthompson · 12-10-2009, 02:02 PM

i asked him why he would use a controller over a keyboard and mouse?

he also asked "dose it work well?" and i answered him to what i believe is the correct answer in which mouse and keyboard is alot better, more keys and higher precision and speed. its not elitist when the only practical use for a controller i can see is for planes, in which case get a joystick. Also high horse ? im a avid console gamer as well. but what ever , i dont care anymore.

I find driving with a controller is a good way to change your poise when playing for extended periods, stops you getting WASD hand. Sit back and let the thumb do the hard work for a change.

Calm down.
I'm good using a mouse and keyboard or a controller, I just think the control feels more fluid to play with.
Thanks for the advice

lol, realized that this might just work with a guitar hero guitar from Ps3 (usb) !! but maybe more like gunning operations or something simple to do : )

Yes, it would as long as the inputs are recognized by windows. But 4 buttons and a switch won't get you very far.

I've dabbled with my old Thrustmaster Firestorm Dual power (basically a ps2 controller in layout with some extra triggers) in combination with Pinnacle game profiler and it works pretty well. It's pretty fun to fly choppers and drive vehicles with it and can control infantry pretty well.

Takes a while to get the buttons right and tweak sensitivity, but once you got it down it's pretty neat.

I'm, glad I made this thread, seems like it got a few people using controllers on pr.

I've got a Saitek controller and I used it once for PR, and I found it was a pain. There isn't enough buttons to program for what you do with a kb and mouse, and looking with a controller is slower than using a mouse. I'd say forget using a controller and just deal with the kb and mouse.
