Anyone opt for game controller on pc over mouse + KB?

Dunno when, but at some point I just got sick of mouse and keyboard. Just doesnt feel right any more since getting consoles. Sure aiming isn't quite as accurate/fast, but that doesn't really bother me.

Was very happy to discover that HL2 supports game pad, which never thought it did, so playing through that gain. and really enjoying it.

Just a pity wouldn't be able to use it for MP, as just wouldn't be able to compete against M+KB players.

And then ther are new games like BC2 which don't even support the gamepad, hence playing it on PS3.

It's just so nice being able to play on sofa using gamepad.

Anyone else prefer gamepad over M+KB?

How many people take the time to get used to the controller for shooters though?

I was a long-time pc exlusive gamer, until just over 2 years ago when I got a 360, and then later a PS3.

In the beginning I sucked with a contoller too, but persevered and now would say I am pretty damn good with it. And I have come to enjoy sitting back to play games rather than sitting closer to the screen.

Mouse and Keyboard just feels so mechanical to me.
