   @Varyag As a lifelong fighting games player, I totally understand the feeling of having a single genre that simply feels wrong if not played with its specific controller. I build my own #arcadestick/#fightstick a decade ago and have used it since.

   Logically I understand that KB/M is more optimal for shooters, but I never fully learned to touch-type and don't trust myself to press the right key in a tense situation, compared to 2.5 decades of learning controller/gamepad button placement

     @NaClKnight@mstdn.games might seem weird for someone who mostly plays FPS and RTS games, but for almost any other genre of game, I'll pull out my XBox controller. Basically for anything that doesn't require the use or precision of a mouse. But yeah, that also means that my gaming time is pretty evenly split between the two input methods.
     And then there's my simracing steering wheel, that I won't go without on my driving games like Assetto Corsa, Automobilista 2 or Truck Simulator.
