  The video even concludes with that point. He was still 10-20% more accurate with a keyboard and mouse than either controller. But I thought his point about the controller being more intuitive and versatile for movement than a keyboard was interesting.

    Others had the same thought long ago which is why for example Razer has “gaming keypads” with analog input for movement:

      The thumb pad/joystick is not analog, it’s a standard directional pad when you pop the joystick off. I use it for four extra buttons (usually menu buttons)

      That said, been using hand keyboards forEVER (Tartarus 2, Orbweaver chroma, Orbweaver, Nostromo, and some belkin one that’s basically the Nostromo) and they’re AMAZING.

        I could have been fooled ! Know of any one of those that sports an analog stick ?

        The Razer website says something about analog inputs using light sensors.🤷

    I wonder how much default exposure plays in.

    As in, the default computer experience is m kb. So you have tons of passive practice, just doing normal computer stuff.

    So the fairest comparison would require impossible things, like raising someone to use a controller like this an equal amount to m+kb, over the same developmental years, etc

  Is that why every Apex player switched from mouse to controller?

    Controller adds aim assist in most games?

    Why do controller players get aim assist?

    Aim assist is a feature designed to compensate for the inherent challenges of aiming with a controller compared to a mouse and keyboard.

      Ever since cross play became ubiquitous, the aim assist has been increasing and increasing. I was playing BF 1 on my Steam Deck and thought I accidentally did speed and coke, I was playing so well! Then I remembered I play mouse + keyboard normally.

        Yeah, the aim assist is getting stupid. I returned to The Finals when the new season released and the game had defaulted to cross play on. For the first few days I thought I had completely forgotten how to shoot, I couldn’t win a fight even if my life depended on it. It felt like everyone was laser-beaming and my guns had recoil. Eventually I noticed a spectator cam where aim assist was obvious and I understood I have cross play on. Turned it off and I instantly went from bottom of the scoreboard to being at least decent.

        From now on cross play always stays off. I don’t have the time to get my aim to a level where I could compete with aim assist.

      Apex’s aim assist is laser aimbot. It’s insane.

      Yes, as far as I know
