Both the keyboard and controller both have benefits for the types of games that use them. The keyboard is better for first-person shooters, MMOs, and real-time strategy titles for fast and accurate reflexes while the controller is better for comfort and casual play. While keyboards have been massive in the gaming space and continue to thrive, it’s hard to argue about it being more comfortable with a controller. The Xbox Series X controller is also fantastic and one of the best modern controllers in the last decade. It ultimately comes down to the player’s preference.
