I don't think one is outright better. They both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Controller. More quick, precise, more Buttons, and no one uses a Keyboard these days.

There is no 1 for all.

Pc is fps, rts, mmo, some puzzles games, and rpgs.

Console is racer, platformer, fighter(unless you use a fighting stick), and side scrollers. All imo of course.

Depends on the game, I enjoy playing the Witcher 2 with my Logitech f310 but it's a pain in the #@$@# to aim when I'm playing a fast paced shooter like Hard Reset.

Both has their ups and downs. I use a 360 controller for NBA 2k12 and racing games. Otherwise, I prefer using Keyboard and Mouse. Motion controls are an interesting concept, too bad nobody really used it to its maximum potential yet.

fps / rts & Mmo much better w/keyboard and mouse... because rts/mmo for hotkeys and stuff and fps because of the controls , better aiming , more skilled required and no auto aim. EVERYTHING else though....controller easily...

Keyboard is so bad for games... They're designed for typing, not gaming. I can't stand only being able to use 4 different keys for moving.

I love posts like this. Lets see someone play Il-2 or ArmA on a controller :P Keyboard is good for certain games. Just like controllers are. When it comes to FPS though (Which is what all these threads turn into) M&K dominate controllers.

They all have their pros and cons.

I like the wiimote/nunchuck better than most though.

This thread has made me facepalm so hard I think I might have broken my nose. I get the opinions people have in there little worlds where they havent spent the proper amount of time to understand the fact that M/KB is superior in every way over a generic controller.

If I had to choose one it would be KB/M, although Dual Analog is preffered for some games and for some its a wash. KB/M is far more accuracte, precise, and fast, when aiming and such, which is in tons of games, even if it is not a shooter. But dual analog works great for platformers and such. But when it comes to racing, I whip out my logitech wheel.
