How do you define proficiency?

Proficient as in they can play a game with an input device and not feel like they are wrestling with the controls at all.

If you stick a console only gamer with a keyboard and mouse, many of them are going to be fumbling to find the WASD keys and will be looking all over the place with the mouse, struggling to hit a target.

You take a mouse and keyboard only gamer and give them a controller, they're going to feel like they are driving a tank rather than controller a person and will also be struggling to aim until they adjust.

A person who has gotten accustomed to both control options will prefer one over the other and I think most will prefer KB/M.

I don't think the majority of the FPS gamers today have tried both control options to know what they prefer. They just use whatever they need to in order to play with their buddies.
