Gamepad vs Mouse & Keyboard Discussion

[Halfling Rodeo]

I am 35.

Could have fooled me.

There's many controller shapes, some fit better than others.

I wonder what I said in the two weeks since you joined that you find so immature that it made you feel the need to say that.

It affects all controllers, to varying degrees. Your hands have been sore after playing too.

Repeatedly replying to the same topic making no sense in most of your posts. Either immature or substance problems.

No. If you find the right controller it doesn't. I can't use Xbox controllers for long periods but I could play 18 hours a day on the PS4 and be perfectly fine after. I did so for a few games over the last decade.

What topic? What did I say that stood out to you?

A flat controller that keeps your hands in a neutral position might be better for them. The PS4 controller weighs about 210 grams, and you also have to add the weight of your forearms, unless you keep them on your thighs. Also depends on the game. Intense action will strain your hands faster, obviously. Keyboards are not unique in this.

Have you ever held a steam deck? Ps4 controller is light as a fly.

Okay, if you're gonna insult me and then not explain where I didn't make any sense and was immature, I'm just gonna call you a retard for not understanding. Your debating in this brief exchange was poor, by the way.

Edit: Oh, the Elden Ring thread. You never asked me to clarify anything after that last post and had a pretty thin defense there too. You just ended the conversation by saying that you wouldn't dignify my stupidity by quoting it. So, yeah, gonna assume you don't have an intelligent argument.

Any recommendations for a mechanical keyboard with numpad nowdays?

For sub-$50 range, Reddragon is decent. I used this for a few years. Pretty solid.

I just buy Royal Kludge KBs for around $50. They're both BT and 2.4GHz compatible or you can use it corded. Highly moddable and allow you to switch out the keys/switches for better ones (recommended since the "spring ping" is awful in these budget but still decent keyboards). I get about a week on a full charge, if I don't try gaming with it using the typical mouse/KB setup.

Edited: Here's my model but I have the blue led illuminated version
