I'll tell you my getup even though I know when you picture it you will all laugh, lol! Cuz I know I look like a complete loser when I'm playin...
So...I bring my highback PC desk chair into the living room about 4 feet from the 50" plasma (lol)...then big pillow on my lap...on top of that a big cutting board that houses my keyboard, mouse pad and mouse..cell phone...house phone...and maybe a c***tail. It's wide enough that both my elbows are on the cutting board...left hand I have the controller right hand mouse....oh and don't forget the air traffic controller style headphones...LOL! I've got jump at L3 and push to talk on L2. Primary fire left mouse, secondary fire right mouse and translocater/hover board is mouse 3 (mouse wheel push). I knew this conversation would go down this road as it always does...the mouse support on UT3 is "ok" at best...when I go play UT3 on PC or QL or some other PC FPS it takes me multiple sessions to get back to aiming normal again. I think mouse is maybe a little bit of an advantage to people that use the mouse in other games but you really have to practice at it to get good with it...which is the same with a controller....idk...some of the best PS3 players (and also players with the best aim mind you) are controller players...so I don't think it's a matter of one being that much better than the other it's just putting in the time to own with whichever you like best that's all. Controller v mouse on a PC is an easy call....controller vs mouse on a console depends on the user. |

I bought one (V2) back in May specifically for COD but I tried it on UT3... I couldn't get to grips with the thing at all. I spent roughly 4 hours with a ton of different settings on 3 games and threw in the towel. On Ut3 I couldn't get it anywhere near my mouse/pad combo set up, even though it had better sensitivity settings! I sent it back for a refund the next day, considering it was £60. However... this is just my own preference! If I had the time and patience to learn how to use it then it probably be a great controller! I play UT3 with an MX518 and a standard controller, that combo works perfectly for me. I remember when I first got the 518 and thought, sh1t, I'm never going to get used to this, now it fits like a glove and all other mice feel inferior... I know a few people who play with the FragFX and they are excellent, so it goes to show it does work... it's just whether or not you want to put the time in to get used to another controller. |

I just cleaned this thread. There's no reason why every time someone asks about kb/m it should turn into a flame war. Everyone has their own opinion and no one is going to change their mind about it so unless you have something useful to add to help the OP then leave it alone.

Ok here is the comparison. I'm not a PC FPS player who has been at this for 8 years like Deadaim. UT3 is the first game i really dedicated myself to get skilled with the Keyboard and mouse. Now from playing UT2K4 at a friends house this what i know.
On the PS3 you have the option to either use a controller or KBM, or fragFX if you have one. I've never used a FragFX so i will not comment on it in my comparison. Controller: The Pro's - The Controller is VERY responsive on UT3 for PS3. Epic Games did a great job incoprating the controller to UT3. They utilized it extremely well and it feels like there is literally no input lag what so ever. You press a button, it responds instantly. With analog sticks you can turn indefinately. Unlike the mouse, you have to pick it up then set down again on mouse pad if you keep turning in on direction (which can prove fatal because when you lift your mouse your crosshair is stagnant. But, if you have extremely high sensitivity. This won't be as big of a problem. BUT, it can still be difficult at times. Because when you run out of mouse pad you are forced to lift the mouse. Which as i said, can get you killed). Keep in mind this when using a DUALSHOCK 3. The Sixaxis is not as responsive, on any game. Con's - It more difficult to traverse and most players use the movement of their body to aim, which can make it more difficult to evade enemy fire. Because your aim and body movement are not completely seperate when using a controller. When using vehicle's it can be difficult to move and shoot with accuracy. Depending on your vehicle controls (relative, mixed, or direct). Keyboard and Mouse: Pro's - Much, much easier to traverse your crosshair when aiming. Certain thing's such as shock combo's. shafting, and flick shots can be easier to achive with a mouse. When controlling vehicles, if your settings are on Direct. Your movement and Aim are both totally seperate. So for instance i can dodge are scoprion self-destruct and then nail the noob with a skymine all at the same time with ease. Con's - There is some serious input lag/delay with the mouse and keyboard. And it is not nearly as responsive as a controller. For example, sometimes when you click left/right click or hit a key to select a specific weapon or change to translocator. Your command will either be delayed or fail to occur all together. Which cna get you killed easily. Also, the support for KBM is piss poor compared to PC installments. Your ability to hotkey is extremely limited. And there are critical keys your not allowed to use to hotkey with which sucks a**. Also if you have a crappy mouse with low DPI it can make hitscan weapons a nightmare to use if you lack the experience. I use a MX518 with mouse smoothing turned off and with my sensitivity set to 5 with my DPI all the way up. I use a Razer - Exact-X mouse pad. So my gear is good so when i aim with my mouse it is more responsive and accurate according to the movement of my hand. So to summarize this in a simple analogy. The Controller is like driving an Automatic. You don't have to worry about shifting gears, burning clutch or f***ing up your transmission. It is easier to drive with and is more relaxing to use. The KBM is like driving a Standard/Stick shift. If you much more control their. But the extreme's are much greater. You can suck alot more than a controller player. But if you master it, you can become a more precise driver. But if you lose your train of throught and lose focus you can serious f*** up bad. But there is more potiential there then the controller. So this is speaking from experience. Disagress all you want, but this is really the way it is. |

That's actually the first thing a PC player told me I was doing when I showed him my last vid.
Do you like it? I've been recommended it before - on PC version I currently use the stock mouse which came with my system, probably not too much quality there. Also do you think a mousepad is required even if you have a smooth surface? I doubt I'll go off the mousepad a lot.. I used about 3.2 inches for a 360 degree turn. With this other USB mouse I once got for free it seemed easy to play but the game felt bad.. I'm not sure if it was the game or the mouse but it seemed real choppy (maybe because of the low fps on ps3?). The only reason for me not to practice mouse is that it'll mess up my PC aim. Nice breakdown btw. |

Skiller I sent you a PM.
I wiped your comments (and the comments of others) because they are simply not at all productive to the conversation and on top of that are only encouraging more arguments that we all know no one will budge on so give it a rest....and I'm not just saying that to you or the people that don't like kb/m...I'm saying it to EVERYONE...having a normal civil debate is one thing but constantly trying to talk down to the other person gets old....and again...I'm not just talking to you I'm talking to everyone behaving that way. |
