Just realized I was wrong about keyboard and mouse for years

Used to swear by a controller for everything, even first-person shooters on my rig. Then 6 months ago my buddy handed me a cheap old Logitech G203 and made me try one match of Apex. Felt completely stupid for avoiding it so long... aiming just clicks different when you're not fighting thumbsticks. Anybody else stubbornly stick with a controller way longer than they should have?

Holding a thumbstick makes you slow down and move through space differently though, doesn't it? Plenty of pros still run controller on Apex and hang just fine. Call of Duty's aim assist is basically legal cheating on a pad, you can track through walls in some games. Plus your fingers never cramp up from clawing a keyboard, and you can lean back in your chair instead of hunched over a desk. Mouse might be more precise on paper but real fights are about positioning and gamesense anyway.

Swapped to controller for Apex after years on mouse and keyboard (hand cramps were killing me, literally could not play more than an hour without pain). Took a solid month to stop feeling like a potato but once the movement clicked, I actually started winning more fights because I wasn't fighting my own chair setup anymore.
