Going back to Keyboard and Mouse

This is proving to be extremely difficult!

I was an avid PC Gamer until the 360 came out many moons ago and I pretty much fully converted to console gaming, over the past few months I've got back into my PC's again.
I've been playing a lot of games with the 360 controller but have just recently reinstalled BF3 to play again, I don't want to be at a disadvantage on MP so I don't want to user the game pad but I'm like a baby trying to walk for the first time trying to use the keyboard

All the buttons (that are default may I add) seem so difficult to press and in uncomfortable positions, it's a nightmare!

Any tips or is is it just a case of getting my arse handed to me until I'm used to it again??

Could try a gameboard such as the Razer Nostromo that OcUK sells.

Its a ergonomic alternative to a traditional keyboard.

I've found the same thing lately. I moved my PC into the living room when my office became a nursery and got a 360 game pad. I now enjoy playing on the sofa or laying back on the floor. Having to use a mouse and keyboard in that situation is just awkward now.

Hahahahaha! I'm in the same boat kind of. I don't have a problem using the keyboard, but just sitting in front of a monitor is weird. I converted back to PC about a year ago. After spending years on the 360.

My worst problem is my screen, I have a 24" lcd crappy monitor then right next to it a 50" plasma... The plasma makes games look stunning but the latency lag means no keyboard and mouse so I like laying back on the bed playing on the 360 controller lol.

If I had a decent panel in my monitor I would probably play more at my desk.

I'd say take the time to customise your control scheme yourself how you feel comfortable then practice a lot.

I moved to pc gaming a year ago now and it took time to get used to it i cannot play fps to hard and my reaction time is slow compared to console but most other games im as good as ever.
