I'm very much the kind of person that, whatever control scheme I start a game with is the only one I can use going forward. So I'm a K&M person for ffxiv. (And a joycon person for Hades, a ps4 dualshock person for CoD, and so on.)

But a big reason I prefer keyboard and mouse for this game and MMOs in general is that I hate HUD bloat, and cross hotbars just feel so untidy and they stress me out lol.

Between all my keybinds and shortcuts and my MMO mouse (which was a literal game changer for me), I just can't imagine trying to relearn everything on controller.

One of the guys I play with somewhat regularly is controller evangelist who will take any opportunity to tell folks that they should play on controller, and how he has 128 or however many buttons at his fingertips, and how it's so much more ergonomic, how he has superior movement precision, and so on. I find him kind of annoying tbh, and because of that, whatever desire to even attempt using controller I may have had has since disappeared.
