Depends for me.
I would prefer controllers for platformers for the use of the D pad and 360 controllers for something such as racing games.

Joystick works for me, lol. I know, it doesn't apply, but I like the joystick. I don't know how you guys use the mouse or keyboard for gaming.

Back in school, my friend would bring his 360 controllers over and we could play emulators on my computer. I kind of wish I had a 360 controller to play some of the fighting games I have...

Just so you know, Garou: Mark of the Wolves and Samurai Showdown 5 are two of the best fighting games of all time.

OF ALL TIME

OF ALL TIME

OF ALL TIME

Seriously, go out and play them now.

I agree with Crimson and Alizee. Controllers should stay with the consoles. keyboard/mouse is where it's at. REAL PC gamers don't pretend they are playing on a silly console.

I use my xbox 360 controller when I feel like breaking out the emulators. I have a steering wheel for my racing needs. Other than that, I usually am on a keyboard and mouse.
