Do you use a controller, gamepads, or joysticks to play PC games?

I just use a Keyboard and mouse for playing PC games on my computer. But, if I was in to flight simulators, racing games, etc, I probably use a controller, or joystick.
 
I only use keyboard and mouse because I don't really want to buy more gaming accessories that would collect dust in the corner of my room. If PC gaming released more flight sims or driving games then I'll be prompt to purchase a joystick.
 
I heard Logitech and Microsoft makes good PC controllers. Microsoft makes a version of the Xbox 360 wireless controller for the PC.
 
Really good question this

Originally i wouldnt touch a controller on PC - keyboard for the win everytime (especially with FPS)

but when i got the 360 some time ago i had to adjust to using a controller

I then got rid of the 360 and used the controller with the PC

now i struggle to use the keyboard on the PC and feel more comfortable with the controller now.
 
I think using a controller for fighting games on the PC might be better as well since there are so many keys on a keyboard which makes it confusing sometimes.
 
I got a 360 controller adapter for my PC. Really comes in handy for playing emulators. But for regular PC games, I stick to keyboard and mouse.
 
I agree using a controller for a PC is very good for playing Emulated games, ROMs, and PC ports of Console games since the game was made more for playing with a controller.
 
I would probably use a controller.. if I could afford one. So I mainly stick to good 'ol mouse & keyboard, nothing wrong with it! :)
 
i always use my keyboard and mouse. I haven't really got the hang of using controllers for the PC. I prefer to use them only for consoles.
 
Keyboard and mouse for steam games and controller for my emus.
In the old days I used just keyboard but for emus after GB it's a pain.
