    I remember my friend bringing over his Xbox and playing Halo for the first time. I was constantly looking down at the ground while he was pistol sniping me across the map. Figured it out eventually.

      A mouse? For shooters?!?

      I definitely still played Quake with keyboard only and having it automatically look up or down on ramps.

      I think during playing Jedi Knight I started using the mouse and having the revolutionary idea of using the numpad for movement and the surrounding keys for important Force powers. Because that was so much better than using the arrow keys.

      No idea when I switched to WASD.

        I came up on pads for everything, and still do it for stuff like the Arkhams, Silksong, and various forms of platformer, but FPS? Once you’ve mouse aimed, the joypad just feels clunky.

        Seeing people play something like Assassin’s Creed on mouse and keyboard is just wild.
