    This is the correct answer. I use a controller on console because I have to. There are very few game genres (imho) where a controller is superior to a mouse.

      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 :)

          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.
