What do gamers use when they play video games, joystick or keyboard? I'm going to start playing a video game soon called exteel, what would be an easier much more fun controller, joystick or keyboard?

Depends on the game in question (never heard of exteel). However, I prefer keyboard at all times.

How about Playstation games on pc. I think I need a joystick for that. I think that would be obviously the appropriate thing to get.

The only game that I have play on the pc beside solitaire and minesweeper is Championship Manager. That was years ago. I have since stop playing games on the pc. Reason is that, I am very poor and not used to using keyboard as controller.

Depends on the game actually. If I'm playing games like first person shooters then it would be easier for me to play it using a keyboard and a mouse instead of a joystick. If I'm playing old school RPG's (role playing games) however, then I would prefer using joysticks.

I think it is much better to play with keyboard just because the games are made to be played with keybard. There are many games that lags when using a controller. Also there are some games which should be played with many more buttons and it is really impossible to play it with your joystick. Also playing First person shooters is impossible with joystick /well almost/. Mouse plus keyboard for the win :D However, using wireless and comfortable joystick and big televisor to play games is the best way to relax! If you are playing hardcore games or you want to make a new highscore or to compete with someone on the internet, I should use keyboard, but if I'm playing just for fun I might use my joystick, depending on what game am I playing.

It depends. some games dont allow you to use a controller and you have to use the keyboard. like diablo 2 or wow you have to use the keyboard. if your playing emulators you can set up a controller and i would highly reccommend doing so. im trying to get a better cpu for my computer so i can play ps2 emulator at full frames per second!

Ever since I started playing video games on the computer years ago, I've used the keyboard and have become quite accustomed to it. However, I'm sure it would be way easier to use a fun controller or joystick!!
