    Lounge room, 52" screen, keyboard in a spot where I'd make a chiropractor very rich if I was to use it constantly. Plus you know, actually having a sensible control scheme for the camera is kind of nice.

    I know there are detractors for using a controller on a PC, but it didn't effect my performance in XI, and it hasn't done so in XIV yet. It's all about efficiency, mostly via macros and laying out your skills in sensible places.

    Have you used the gamepad UI for FFXIV? It's incredibly efficient as a DD, on par with keyboard as a tank, and manageable as a healer. I personally prefer keyboard and mouse for healer as you change target a lot on a moments notice, but having all your actions easily reachable as a DD with the precision movement of a gamepad is really nice.

    As a Drg, I wouldn't want to do the 27 action long rotation while weaving in buffs and jumps with a keyboard. The 9 base actions is already a pretty far distance for your hand to travel in the middle of dodging things.
