To add onto your point, a lot of games where mouse+keyboard isn’t the best set of inputs, neither is a controller. Things like flight games or racing games.
Exactly, honestly fighting games are the only genre I can think of where a controller is better than keyboard/mouse… maybe platformers?
Edit: again this is my personal opinion. I knew a guy back when lan parties were still a thing that would play shooters with a trackball and he would annihilate everyone. We all got our preferences :)
Yeah they don’t make them with mouse and keyboard in mind or even pcs at all despite elden ring launching on steam at the same time. First version of Elden ring you couldn’t two hand a weapon, not possible with the default key binding. Also first patch had the funniest item on it, something like “Fix to use the GPU”.
I actually bought a Logitech trackball mouse shortly after I got my PC. My grandpa used to use one and I thought it might have been good for some gaming, but it had been too long since I last used it so it didn’t feel right.

Souls like games are pretty much always far superior on controller imo over m+kb. M+kb just feels janky for me in souls likes

Rock Band drum kit is the only non-pleb way to play soulslikes
Yea I can see that -I suck so bad at souls games I tend not to play them much anymore

Controllers are definitely the best option for racing games.
nah, steering wheel is
I don’t know how playing something like redout 2, screamer or inertial drift would go on a wheel(they all use twin stick driving).
Sim racing is definitely a wheel, but arcade racers are mostly controller for me.
Redout is fun with a flightstick
If you like steering wheels more power to you, but I have no desire to play with one.
Jimmy Broadbent suddenly sits up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily
TBF I’m pretty sure Jimmy is always sweating
he’s outta line, but he’s right
I don’t know what that means.
