Sometimes I game on keyboard + mouse, sometimes on controller, depending on the game. I love my keyboard, but being able to slouch with controller in hand is welcome as well. Unfortunately I've played so many games over the years with a controller that I struggle immensely to tap the right buttons when shit gets real. It's like my muscle memory is muddied with countless mappings. As a matter of fact there's no way I can switch between two games back and forth if they are even remotely similar in terms of perspective.

Have you experienced high levels of "typos" with game controllers too? Do you know of strategies to get more precise?

Every few months my friends and I pick up Deep Rock Galactic for a few weeks. And every time when we switch to a different game after that we always end up hitting "F" all the time all over the place. In DRG that's the button to throw a flare and you use it constantly when moving around. Very annoying when another game uses it for something completely different like a grenade toss ๐Ÿ˜„

Switch between GTA V and RDR2 and end up punching my damn horse every time I try to ride it because entering vehicles is F in GTAV but in RDR2 F is your dedicated melee button.

F is for Fisticuffs

That poor horse ๐Ÿ˜„ But, have you thought about remapping the keys in either game? At one point I just unmapped F in some games
