No, not for him

This, of course, greatly depends on what type of games you play.

I am curious, though, what games need a controller in your opinion. Because I'm wondering if I've played them. A lot of folks seem to insist on using a controller for games like Assassin's Creed, Sleeping Dogs, Grand Theft Auto, Arkham Games, etc., but they are all perfectly natural on mouse and keyboard to me.

I have played a variety of games, and the only ones that felt "off" to me where fighting games -- because I used to play mortal kombat, street fighter, etc. on NES and SNES when I was 5-6 years old, so playing them on keyboard felt unnatural to me at first. But once I remapped a couple of keys, I was right at home. I don't really play fighting games anymore though. I've been nearly an exclusive PC gamer for over 20 years, except for a couple of years playing a lot of N64.

Now, a while back I did install a pirated copy of Dark Souls PTDE, and when I saw the keyboard mapping I was pretty taken aback (I was also drunk when I installed it). I never got around to playing it before reinstalling windows.
