How much of a disadvantage is playing with a controller on pc for pvp?

I can’t get use to using a mouse I’m much more comfortable using a controller, is there aim assist for controllers and does it make up for not using a keyboard and mouse? Or should I just stick to doing my pvping on the Xbox?

  • 0 it’s actually probably an advantage..... you get a soft aim bot

    If you want to be truly competetive on PC pvp, you have to learn MnKB. There's a reason PC FPS esports players don't use controllers. The speed and accuracy mouse movement allows is objectively superior to sticks, and so the ceiling of potential things you can achieve with practise is also multiple times higher. If you stick to a controller, you're handicapping yourself when you start going against MnKB folks who have already made that potential into a personal reality. You'll probably manage against folks under your own skill bracket, but you'll start losing against those in your own who you would've otherwise been even with using MnKB yourself after becoming proficient with it. Learning an input device from the begining is a painful process. Most likely weeks of dedicated practise and at the start you'll be losing more than winning, even fights you know you would've possibly won on a controller. But it's worth it in the long run if you want to perform optimally on PC platform. Of course if you enjoy a controller enviroment or don't want to be competetive on PC, sticking to what you like is the way to go.

      For your sanity, I'd stick to XBox. I've managed to get a few Rumble podium finisher medals with controller on PC (even a couple of wins), but for Survival and other highly competitive modes, I generally stick to PS4. The mouse doesn't bother me so much as getting finger tied on the keyboard, so I also prefer controller.
