The debate over whether a pc controller is better than a mouse and keyboard will probably go on forever. Clearly, we’re big believers in controller games. The reason is very simple.
It’s more comfortable
Simply put, everything about the controller is ergonomically designed to give you easy access where you need it. No need to contort your hand or the rest of your body into awkward shapes to reach the button you need. Because the button is exactly where you would expect it to be.
More convenient
Whether it’s at your desk, in your living room, or in a friend’s living room, the pc controller will accompany you with minimal fuss. You can easily carry your controller with you at all times, even when you’re not traveling.
It facilitates greater immersion in gaming
Comfort and convenience are great benefits on their own, but there’s an indirect benefit that they offer–immersion. When you can’t seem to find the keys to hit, have to take a break every so often to give your wrists and neck a break, or have to move your keyboard out of your lap to answer the door, then you’re not as immersed in the gaming experience as you could, and would probably like to be.

PC Games That Play Better With a Controller
The keyboard and mouse configuration works well for many PC games, but using the controller is intuitive in certain genres such as sports games, racing titles, and fighter jets. Both control schemes have their strengths and weaknesses depending on the play style you play. First-person shooters and real-time strategies are mostly good when played with a keyboard and mouse, but other genres can be a little more unpredictable.
