I've never really understood this. I've been gaming on console my entire life, as well as PC. Controllers, well, they blow. There's few inputs, they give you very little control over your aim or direction, they wear out fairly quickly, they give me tendinitis and carpal tunnel in a couple weeks and I never have issues with my M+KB. The only exception is when games have horrendously mapped controls and don't provide rebinding, which should be a mainstay of any PC game in this day and age. (cough, dark souls, cough.)
Honestly, once you use one for a few weeks, regularly playing games, it ceases to feel awkward and instead feels incredibly natural (to me).
What specifically do you not like about M+KB just out of curiosity?
At any rate, yeah, it sucks that they haven't provided proper support for you guys, but honestly, I'm greedy enough to throw consoles under the bus in favor of an earlier Bannerlord release.
