    Per their original comment, they aren’t saying mouse is bad. Their problem is with the keyboard.

    … we merely tolerate keyboard as a gaming input device because of the precision that mouse provides

    Why are you bringing up the mouse again?

      I also disagree with the keyboard comment. I see no issue with it and I don’t know what else would be better when combined with the mouse.

        A lack of analog controls is definitely an issue. Having digital buttons on keys that are either 100% on or off loses a ton of fine control.

        Playing GTA and need to make a slight left while driving? On a gamepad you just slightly tilt the stick left to make a smooth turn. On keyboard you have to do a bunch of short little taps on A (and D when you inevitably oversteer) to stop yourself from jerking the wheel left.

        I remember really wanting a Logitech G13 when they came out but I could never justify spending the money on one.
