For those PC gamers: do you mostly use keyboard and mouse or a controller?

Looking at getting into PC gaming.

For games like CS:GO or other FPS's can you use a controller?

Also wanted to play DAY-Z and games like that as well.

You can use a controller.

You may get rekt by snipers who have played on kb/m for decades.

Do whatever is most comftorable and fun

Someone will have to comment in cs:go specifics

It depends on the game. For FPS, RTS, and most RPGs, I use mouse and keyboard. For sports games, racing games, action games, and action RPGs, I use a gamepad (PS3 controller).

I do know people who swear by playing PC FPS games with an xbox 360 controller. Can't say whether or not they play a lot of multiplayer though.

99.9% Keyboard and mouse. Fighting games, I use a controller.

Can't imagine using a controller in a PC FPS against other players.

just get used to the kb/mouse now. When I first started playing FPS on pc I didnt think I would like or be able to adjust to kb/mouse.

I got comfortable with it after about 3 days. and now I literally cant stand playing FPS unless I'm using kb/mouse

Actually I do use a controller when playing campaign on farcry games when I want to relax and mess around. If there is a really hard sequence, I may pull out the kb/mouse b/c its so superior

Just use the keyboard and mouse. It's way more effective.

like everyone else has said, prepare to be bent over if you are using a controller in a game like counter strike.

Mostly KB/M....however, I recently started playing Skyrim with a controller to try it out.

It's amazing.

It has reinvigorated me in that game. Sword and board just feels so natural that it should be a requirement to use a controller with it.

Learn to use a KB/M otherwise you will get wrecked badly.

For me it depends on the game. Controllers are more intuitive for me, but mouse & keyboard give much faster reaction times. For something like PVE in DCUO I like to use a controller, for PVP a mouse/keyboard works better.

Marvel Heroes has no support for controllers so it's strictly keyboard (as are most MMO's).

KB/m all day.

Except when I decide to play on my big screen I used a wireless 360 controller
