Transitioning from Controller aim to MK

Ray
Offline

I grew up with a controller in my hand starting with SNES all the way up to Xbox and PS5. I didn't really get into PC gaming until early 30's. I play Apex pc with my buddies but still use a PS5 controller with extended grips. I bind my jump to L1 and crouch to R3. Is it too late to try and move to MK aim permanently? I've tried but feel I am so much more responsive and accurate with my controller.  Anybody else make the jump or have any tips/tricks they would like to share?

  • I also grew up playing with controllers but also played Doom back in the 90's which was MK only during my college years. It was the only game that I had played with MK for a long time and had simple functions. After being on console after that for more than a decade, I got back to pc gaming and I was horrible with a MK. There were so many keys and buttons on MK to keep track of and my muscle memory was not there so I started playing less intense fps games to develop that memory. I now have gotten a lot better but a controller still comes more natural to me. I think when you use something for long enough you start to become more precise. It's just takes time to develop it. The real question is whether you have spare time to learn or if it is worth investing the time if you can still perform well on controller. MK without a doubt has more snap and precision but only if you have that memory. Anyone telling you that you are at a loss with a controller doesn't understand. I have played Battlefield 4 with a controller and MK and I am usually in the top ten actually doing better with a controller. Comfort and confidence in the accessories you are using are important.
