I get tired of using mouse and keyboard, and the same goes to a controller. It would be nice to play with hands in the air..
I would not suggest keyboard/mouse controls but if you don't want to go get a joystick a gamepad should be fine
actually it is really great for device with limited control keys, e.g. gaming pad.
It's an interesting control scheme to get used to.
Unless you want to use a gamepad.
Switch games need to have non-touch control options cause it's also meant to be played docked
Controllers also provide haptics (beat saber makes it feel like you're slicing a block with a light saber), a thumb stick, trigger and two buttons. we've got 40+ years experience with gaming with joysticks and buttons, this is hard to undo.
This really wants to be controlled by twin thumbsticks.
Unlikely. All the mechanics would have to be reworked for mouse and keyboard. You can hear it from devs themselves: https://youtu.be/-9K0eJEmMEw
I used to be a serious CS player and when I use analog sticks I just feel physically handicapped. I don't like that feeling. I've tried and tried but reached a plateau on my analog skill that just I can't get past. It takes the joy out of any console FPS game and some over-the-shoulder RPGs. I think this controller can make me enjoy those games again.
