Keyboard + Mouse or Controller?

[GoldenTerrabyte]

While it's pretty obvious that the majority uses the Keyboard + Mouse for PC Terraria, I'm curious what the balance actually is between the two in terms of who uses what. I personally prefer the controller, it's definitely much better than the current Console controller setup, since there's a lot more customization, and there's the targeting ability.

Personally, I'm fine with either, but I use the mouse and keyboard more, so I picked that

MnK is much more fluid and easier to play with, in my opinion.
On Console (where I usually play) the analog stick is pretty slow if you're not using Smart Cursos. We don't have lock-on mode, so it makes it kind of a challenge to actually hit some enemies if you're a mage or if you're a ranger. For instance, the Blizzard Staff is highly inaccurate and actually takes LEARNING in order to aim it correctly.

Not sure how controllers are on PC, but I assume they're in a better state.

Depends on what I am doing within the game, and where I am playing it. Console would be obvious. Since I have not gotten around to getting it for the x1 yet...

PC I use the controller to get around, but not against using the keyboard. I started on console, so that is the reason for using a controller mostly.

For building I would rather use the keyboard though, since makes easier to build walls and structures.

So my preference is both or in between the two.

I use the keyboard and mouse because you can do a lot of things at the same time with it.

After transferring to PC Terraria, (from Xbox 360) I found that the Keyboard + Mouse is a lot more comfortable to use.

Controllers are still fine, but IMO Keyboard + Mouse offers more freedom and quicker movements.

However, I respect your opinions!

I've only used keyboard controls since as far as I can remenbver, until recently. I bought an x-box 360 controller since a game recommended it be used, and decided to try it on Terraria. It feels like the console edition with 1.3 in my opinion.

I am WAY better with keyboard + mouse, but open to controller if I feel like it.

I play on a laptop. I have it elevated off of my desk about 6 or 7 inches because I found I was getting neck strain playing with it just on my desk. I always used a controller anyway, but having the keyboard up off the desk is less comfortable if I wanted to use the WASD keys. I will use the mouse if something happens that requires moving the cursor around in a quick and accurate manner. Like boss fights for instance.
