Is there some sort of secret? No matter what sensitivity my mouse is set to I seem to get stuck when turning. On a controller I can turn completely in a circle, but not with a mouse unless i'm missing something. I'm willing to accept that I might be an idiot. But seriously how to people do it? It just feels so unatural. Sorry if this is a dumb question, because I think it's a dumb question too.

I use a mouse and keyboard for everything except gaming. I hate using my phone. I use to play basic keyboard and mouse games when I was a kid but it's been a very long time. I actually started my game tonight and after adjusting my mouse sensitivity it's easier than I thought. Hitting left shift with my pinkey to run kind of sucks but oh well. Still slightly cumbersome but I think I can get used to it. I'd still rather use a controller if given the option but I think I can manage. Thanks!

There's no shame in getting a good USB controller for your games. I'm hardcore PCMR but I have no issue with PC players using a controller. The fact that you actually have those options is an excellent example of why PC is so awesome.

Definitly PC for the win. I have several controllers. The game I'm playing is mouse and keyboard only sadly. I get it, indie game developers have limited resources to work with. I'm forcing myself to use mouse and keyboard and its going better than I thought it was. The game is good so far.

Oh gotcha, did you try messing with Steam Input to see if you can sorta force that game to work with one?
