Yes, I very much agree, I was shocked how good gyro flicking with a sniper felt on Splatoon
I've not played splatoon, but I know a lot of players there use gyro :3.. and nintendo in general is more gyro forward than playstation (and xbox is not even in the convo lol). I play on PC these days cause it's nice being able to set up my controller how I want with third party input remappers, feels a lot less limited :3

Wasn’t there a dude who played Call Of Duty with a flute? I cont find the video and it used to crack me up.

Which is best for submarines?
Logitech F310.
Oceangate fucked up and used the 710. Very possible the wireless signal got messed up and it sent the signal to implode instead of surface. The 310 is wired and wouldn't have that problem.
The implosion happened because someone entered the Konami code that made the sub about 50 times more heavy
The F710 isn't without its faults. It uses potentiometers in the joysticks instead of Hall effect or TMR. Stick drift kills.

Keyboard doesn't suck that much for driving but it's way worse for precision movement for platformers and top-down action games. And obviously "twin stick shooters".
Solution is those MMO joystick controllers that have a bunch of buttons and a joystick for your thumb. I've always wanted one but I know from my Steam controller experience that setting it up for each game individually is a total pain.
The problem with keyboard driving in most setups is that the turning is either on or off. So you can’t make smooth movement. You have to do that tapping shit to keep the car straight. Also the accelerator is either 0 or 100.
On control with analog and trigger have different levels of sensitivity allowing for granular controls.
I know that now a days there are some keyboard switches that have this, but it’s far from the standard.
Analog switches have gotten downright affordable on keyboards these days, for what it's worth. I saw one for $70 the other day. I'll try and find a link if anyone is interested.
You're absolutely right.
Meanwhile, TrackMania pros:

Perfectly explains my Cyberpunk2077 dilemma. I want to FPS with keyboard and drive with controller.
You can just do that? Even if you were speedrunning you could probably switch from KB to pad or viceversa in the time the animation completes

If you're not using a ddr mat are you even a gamer
I personally prefer the keyboard&mouse for everything. The main advantage being that your hands won’t emit a liter of sweat when playing
The only downside is that you need a desk for them
I feel like the odd one loving keyboard and mouse for every type of game. (And I mostly play third person... shooter?I don't know what is dark souls? And also platformers/Metroidvania)

Both suck for driving. Get a wheel.
The wheel is downright dogshit at shooting, though.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and assume that they’re complaining bc a lot of games have both.
Lol there has to be some challenges on YouTube like that. I bet they are fun to watch. Like the bunny that defeated the cathedral beast on a DDR pad.
I really like the one where a guy beat a Dark Souls boss with the Rock Band drum set
True, though you can get used to either. And if you aren't playing competitively, your comfort is the only thing that really matters
