A friend of mine purchased Halo PC the other day and naturally we had a blast trying it out...but for the life of us we couldn't use the mouse/keyboard combo. Any suggestions on a good PC controller for Halo PC?

-S

I'd suggest that, if you want to be competitive, you stick to learning the keyboard and mouse. =)

You could buy a USB adapter for your XBox controller and use that if you so desire, however.

I've tried the mouse on a few other PC frag games (Unreal mostly) and I couldn't get used to it. For me it was very imprecise and hard to control. I hear a lot of people saying they prefer the mouse because it is better...but their reasons why do not seem to work for me.

For those of you who use the mouse, what makes it so much better than a controller? Can you offer some tips on how you use it? It just seems so unwieldy...maybe because I am just used to the controller.

If you can't get used to the keyboard/mouse combo then you really have no business playing PC shooters. Sorry, but it's a staple of every single PC FPS out there.

I play with a Saitek P880 dual analog pad, although if a game requires it, I can play just as well with a keyboard/mouse. I just set the sensitivity to 8h / 9v to get around the speed difference.

But why? Everyone says that the mouse/keyboard combo is better...but I have yet to hear a coherent why.
