KB / mouse is objectively superior from a control standpoint for more or less any first-person title, or third-person titles that benefit from / feature an independently positioned camera. There's not really a "two sides" to this one unless one factors in non-control elements like comfort (playing from the couch). Similarly, in reverse fashion, games with fewer axes of movement (racing titles, platformers, etc.) are better experiences on a gamepad rather than a KB / mouse.

That doesn't mean other forms of control don't work, or aren't effective. Case in point, SE has done a tremendous job making FFXIV quite playable with a gamepad (and FFXI before it). It also doesn't mean someone used to a gamepad can seamlessly transition to a KB / mouse and instantly control the game better. But there is a "better" and "worse" at play from a precision and effectiveness viewpoint.
