The mouse and keyboard are the tried and tested companions for PC gaming. However, some modern games have a better gameplay experience with a controller instead. (e.g., Fall Guys) Users can also take advantage of the haptic motor built into controllers for an added immersion.
If you own a Playstation 4, I bet you’d like to utilize the controllers sometimes for PC gaming.
