Still struggling with PC controls advice?

I haven't play my ps3 since early this year but i'm still finding it hard to adapt to the keyboard and mouse. With that being said is their and advice that anyone can give me?

I've been playing Hitman Absolution for some time now but still find it difficult, I also haven't touch Deus Ex even tho it's downloaded. The whole button config just feels so weird.

I really can't give yu any advice to learning how to play using a kb/m efficiently because I honestly took to it like a fish to water; but I will advice that since you aren't playing competitive multiplayer games by the sound of the two games you listed, why not just hook up a controller and play how you want to?

Edit: If that's the original Deus Ex you plan to play I see the problem :/ well I know that when I want to brush up on my fps skill nothing beats Counter Strike.

Pick some simple games and get used to a keyboard and a mouse, some FPSs like CoD, Battlefield or CS, might be even some free FPSs that are on the market (Planetside 2, Tribes, Quake Live)

Don't forget compared to controller you can bind any key to any options in the game.

A tip for you when binding keys: keep the most used actions close to your WASD keys: Q, E, R, F, C, Shift, Space.

Also if you have a gaming mouse - thumb button (AKA mouse 4) is another good button to assign something useful.

pretty much this. Pick a really simple fps game to play through in SP, should be enough. Personally I would advise something like the first Half-Life. then after that play an fps game that is a bit more complex, and after that, I doubt you would have any real issues. It is worth mentioning that some people are wired slightly differently in the head, I for one can not play with a mouse unelss it is inverted, I really can't. So sometimes you can just fundamentally not accept an input method.

if that is the case, grab a 360 controller and enjoy :)

I found Seroius Sam BFE a really good game to get used to keyboard and mouse controls, its as simple as FPS games get.

If your games support controller get a wireless 360 gamepad and use that. Lots of games are better with a controller. Strategy games, some RPG's I'll use mouse and keyboard but other games I really want a controller even in non competitive FPS.

I have considered using a controller but I feel it defeats the purpose of trying to learn WASD. It feels awkward and the way my hand is position hurts plus I find myself looking down a lot at my keyboard when playing games and I tilt my keyboard for some reason as if I was writing, I'm left handed btw.

I'm trying to get use to the controls so i can play those other games like counter strike & bf3. I think if I go back to the controller I will have learnt nothing

@Maddie_Larkin: @PredatorRules: I'll looking into playing some simple FPS just so I can get use to the controls thanks

I switched a few years ago now. I still have problems with weapon swaps using the number row and getting "E" and "F" mixed up sometimes. I would suggest jumping right into the FPS games too. They are usually pretty simple as far as the number of keys you'll need to press in a round. In BF4 I made my mouse side buttons select my primary and secondary weapon.

Install somethign like Quake III Arena or Quake Live and practice against bots. As you get better at it increase the bot difficulty. Serious Sam: The Second Edition or the more recent BFE would be good games to practice with too as someone mentioned above, even better if you have friends to play them with, those game are still great fun in coop especially TSE.
