Game pad vs Keyboard

And youre saying you cant hit tab 3 times about as fast?

Yes, that is what they are implying...we the generation that grew up with console controllers, joysticks, duck hunt guns etc in our hands, can't tab as quickly as one can move a mouse.

BTW: IN RL i've had to have both 'clicker fingers' tested (was in a car accident, have injuries long story). My ability to click is that fast, it is literally off the charts...turns out growing up playing NES and taking piano lessons for years might have done something...

That said, once again, this is a PREFERENCE thing. You know what effects your skill in this game the most? You ability to quickly see, interpret, predict and respond to the situation. Your brain screws you up (or helps you) WAAAAAAYYYYY more than your KB,KB+Mouse or Controller does.

>_> I didn't want to believe it to be true...

Right? Gamers grew up on consoles, controllers, and hitting buttons at godlike speeds. I dont know where this idea that its slow is coming from. Clearly we've forgotten about arcades, fight sticks, long complicated button inputs, etc etc. Smh.

But amen!

Well yes, it is preference. But making the assumption that you can't click very fast is a bit silly. Especially with the amount of gaming mice, and pro gamers.

And I was also in the generation that played games as a kid. I had my Amiga and Atari, and I used both my joystick and mouse often.
