Playstation 3 Software & Firmware \ Sixaxis VS. KB + Mouse - Your preferences.

Well as far as I know Unreal Tournament 3 saw the debut of the KB + mouse compatibility on the PS3 so I now pose the question, - which controls do you prefer when playing FPSs, keyboard + mouse or the sixaxis?

Personally, I prefer the sixaxis over KB+mouse as I appreciate the simplicity of the control schemes and I also find that characters and vehicles are more easily maneuvered and actions have a more fluid motion when using a controller. Heck, I even prefer aiming with analog sticks over the mouse; it might take a bit of getting used to but with a little practice it’ll become second nature plus it also helps to set the sensitivity of the sticks to a level that you’re comfortable with, so for me it’s usually a few clicks over medium or even mid-high sometimes.

Anyways, that’s enough about me, now I’d like to know what your preferences are and why.

Anyone that can beat me in a game where i use kb and mouse then good luck to you. It also depends on the game type. FPS's kb and mouse will always win but for fighting games ps3 controller will win. I only play FPS's on my pc just because of the mouse and KB

Yeah I forgot about racing games; the sixaxis really does the job with that one, even better than the steering wheels that are available for gamers.

Heh, we're on the same page. Well, I mean I don't hate the KB+Mouse but yeah I certainly prefer the sixaxis for games.

KB+M for fps will always be the way, it is a lot more accurate. but for driving games, well any other games i don't like using the keyboard. hopefully all fps games coming to ps3 from now on will support KB+M. i still play using sticks but prefer the other

I remember watching a show on channel 10 one night, “Cybershack” I think it’s called and the hosts we’re at the finals for some gaming tournament and one of the games was Halo – the finals, which had a player playing on the xbox 360 with a controller of course against a player playing Halo on the PC, needless to say the Xbox guy won, giving us “controller guys” a proud moment. I know some people will think I’m making this up but I assure you I’m not, and I’m currently trying to locate an article to back up what I had just mentioned, although it was fairly long ago, maybe last year or even late 2006 so I might not even find one but I’ll keep looking.

Sixaxis controller all the way for me, grown up using controllers and was never too fond of the Keyboard + Mouse combination, although i am getting used to it, i will always prefer controllers more.

Nope, COD4 doesn't have KB+Mouse support, but it's an excellent game, definitely worth buying.
