BAMA Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I have been looking around for a new setup for gaming. I saw the new Razer Sabertooth game controller for xbox/pc and thought about buying one. Since all of you know i'm not a good shooter due to my right hand just does not function like it used to(due to a nickel sized rod that went through it several years ago), I was thinking the controller might be good alternative. What you guys think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you guys think? a controller for a FPS game... But, for the small chance you are serious and you are the ruler of the universe who i do not want to disobey: no, a controller for a FPS game would be a horrible idea. I would recommand a touchscreen, thats much better XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you guys think? Usually I would say NO to gamepads for first person shooters due to lack of precision, but as always there are exceptions who can proof otherwise There's a french guy called gen1us who is playing Quake Live with a Xbox-Controller, actually he's a Tekken Progamer afaik. He is using a own type of software/driver to setup the controller for the PC...he's a nice guy so he will help you out I guess if you contact him. Played him a few times in Quake Live and he is incredible good with it, I couldn't win Here a few vids and links: http://www.esreality.com/?a=users&user_id=29172 https://www.facebook.com/pages/GEN1US/344895505557465?fref=ts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators JoeDirt Posted June 4, 2013 Administrators Share Posted June 4, 2013 I have never tried them, however I know some people tried using Wiimotes and that it is duable. Only problem would be reaction time, players with keyboard and mouse would have clear advantage. Touchscreen is a horrible idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elf Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I agree with Joe, The reaction time.. I saw my roommate used one for a while , he went back to keys and mouse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Death_Reincarnated Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 (edited) But seriously....no. Controllers are not a suitable medium to play FPS games. Edited June 5, 2013 by Death_Reincarnated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorilla Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Agree with above. Playable but you'd most likely get slaughtered...more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinBacon Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 You could always try to upgrade your mouse? I'm not sure what you're gaming with now. I'm sure you've considered that if you were to switch to a controller of some sort, it would take a very long time for you to reach your current skill-level again (which isn't very bad at all) I would imagine it would be like relearning the whole game again!
