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?

    I tend not to play extremely similar games back to back so my head’s usually not in the wrong place. Maybe try a palate cleanser.

      My usual strategy although still imperfect for me. Elden Ring has been in my active games for a while now, and it’s hard to properly try Hyper Light Breaker with my kid because of this issue.
