Focusing on PC gamers, I’m curious about your top choice when playing: mouse/keyboard or controller? I tend to prefer controllers since they’re more comfortable, but I rely on keyboards and mice for fast-paced games like CS:GO where precision matters. What’s your preference? Also, what devices do you use—have you tried the Coolermaster Devastator KB/M or a standard Xbox 360 controller?

I rely on my keyboard and mouse for most games. I own a Corsair K70 with red switches and blue back lighting, plus a Corsair M65 RGB. For titles such as Assassins Creed, Shadow of Mordor, Watch_Dogs, and GTA 5, I prefer using an Xbox 360 controller because those games perform better with them.

Varies by game. Generally uses mouse/keyboard, but controllers work well for racing.

I say it varies by game. For FPS I'd use mouse/keyboard, RTS/MOBAs with mouse/keyboard or HOTAS for Star Citizen/Elite Dangerous, controllers work well for most, and fightstick is great for button-heavy titles.

Click buttons with force! Use thumb gestures for quick actions!

Mouse and Keyboard 100%. If the Game doesn't support it or it's just a terrible mess from inexperienced people, I completely avoid it.

It really depends on the experience, I can't think of anything like WoW except with a solid mouse, keyboard, and lots of buttons. But for games like GTA V, I enjoy watching the action on my living room TV while lounging on the sofa with a controller.

All games require a keyboard and a mouse.

I'm used to M/K but I'm sure others prefer different terms like fighting games controller or shooters M/K. I own a controller for Mortal Kombat X, but it doesn't feel natural. On the other hand, MK10 isn't playable with a keyboard, and racing games are definitely keyboard-based. I tend to feel faster when pressing harder on the keys—even at maximum—I want a wheel (like the new G29 from Logitech).

FPS titles: M/KB focused. Other games: controller preferred.
