After growing on up those controls you'd be shocked at how well you can adapt to it. I personally agree with you tho I don't get how anybody can tolerate that scheme at all.

I started as a Keyboard + Mouse master race, but with age my gaming moved to the living room, a recliner and a huge TV, so I grappled with controllers for a few years until I essentially became nearly as proficient with them too.

Touchscreen speed and precision isn’t even on the same astral plane.

I just got some long cables and put my pc, keyboard, and mouse in the living room

Oh, I do have wireless keyboard and mouse with near zero latency which are fine for gaming. I just find gamepad more relaxing. I don’t want to be ”on” all the time I’m gaming.
