Keyboard v console?

[Rawrrior]

Keyboard and mouse. i use a razor naga epic.

Though this weekend i tried a gamepad for gathering. I think i like gathering with a gamepad better than a keyboard and mouse. Less strain to the hand.

But everything else. keyboard and mouse for me.

We just had the PC v PS3 thread and someone mentioned you can use a gamepad on a PC. That kind of got me wondering. Which of the following do you all prefer for PC gaming and why?

1] Standard keyboard and mouse

2] standard gamepad [like console version]

3] Keypad and mouse and keyboard [Logitech G13 for instance]

4] Keyboard and multibutton mouse [Razer type perhaps?]


I like my G13 for the thumbstick movement and comfortable easy access to 14 skills, however if I go past that 14 I struggle as my hand gets in the way of seeing more keys. When I've tried movement via keyboard and mouse I'm a lot slower than using thumbstick. I've never tried a gamepad though.

Standard keyboard and mouse... though it can feel a bit clunky.

I'm not nerdy enough to use the keypad. I also fail at multitasking.
