I use to use a Xbox360 controller. I used it for comfort, because nothing beats kickin back and playing game. But unfortunately there is just some limitations you just can't get past with a controller. I went to just standard keyboard/mouse for awhile, and it was a lot better. Then I tried these two guys. Logitech G600 mouse, and Logitech G13 Gamepad, and I never went back. Compared to the controller, this is a completely night and day difference for control. It does take some time to get use to using them. But once you do, going back just isn't possible because of all the freedom and control you get. The mouse is just awesome, because all of those side buttons are automatically configured to your 1-10 hotbar, and when you want to shift/ctrl the other hotbar, you have a additional right clicker which will get you onto the other hotbar for those keys. It's hard to express the control you get from just that alone. You don't even have to look at your action bars after awhile. It just becomes second nature to use those side keys with your hotbar. It's nice.
