Mouse and keyboard

After my recent mouse and numbchuck foray on PS4, I�ve decided to buy a new desk for my pc and console gaming �area�.

Somewhere to keep the XIM4 set up permanently without everything balancing on top of the PC case when I want to use it.

So I�ve also bought one of these. It�s a nice piece of kit, but the thumb stick takes a bit of getting used to in comparison to the PlayStation Navigator controller. It�s not in the same league as the console thumbsticks, but the mappable buttons make it far more flexible and the XIM4 supports it for storing game by game profiles.

I managed to play some CS:GO last night (offline with bots) and soon realised I need to have a proper set up, rather than balancing it on the arm of my gaming �recliner� seat. Nice mechanical key quality and adjustability options, just not sure about the thumbstick just yet. If I don�t get use to it, I�ll try to knock up some sort of joystick type base for the Sony Navigator instead. If I don�t have to keep messing about with cables, I probably won�t use the DualShock controller for shooters any more.

I said probably....

You're living the future! Certainly looks nice though

It's generally best/easier to go with Microsoft XBox joypads for the PC - whilst you can usually remap everything, some assume that you are using one and have no options to change anything.

And then you usually have the fun of having to have some sort of interface system for PS controllers - which some games have trouble with :/

I�ll only use mouse and keyboard for twitch shooters.

You�re right about DS4 though. All the big console port titles, it�s not a problem. A game like CS:GO on the other hand, is unmappable with one.

I don't whether its developers being lazy or Microsoft/Sony/Nintendo putting on pressure not to allow rival controllers to be used in the same way as the system that is being developed for.
