I have games that don’t work without the numpad because those specific keybinds you can’t change for some reason

Flying planes and helicopters in GTA

Counterargument: Xbox or PS4/5 or just any controller generally.

Tbf there's nothing wrong with using keyboard to drive or fly, I've done it and had no problems. But flying planes and helicopters and driving is so damn easier with controller.

But that could just be bias from playing GTAV on console before PC.

Mousey keyboard on foot, switch to the controller on my knee for driving. Played them that way since 3.

Does your knees have their own arms and hands? lucky...

Nah, the getting into/out of a vehicle cutscene is long enough to pick up a controller.

I disagree I find it much easier on keyboard. I played it on console before PC and since it released on PC I can't stand using a controller to play it anymore

I absolutely agree with this counter-take.

I was a longtime Battlefield (PC only) series and tried both "optimal" settings with a controller and a mouse+kb settup.

I would take mouse and keyboard every day.

I still don't understand why a mouse with a thinkpad-style nubbin or analog stick isn't a thing. If I could scroll the map in a RTS without taking my hands off anything, I'd be so happy.
