Do any other PC DBDers play Survivor with a controller or is it just me?

I find it easier and more comfortable to play as Survivor using a controller, than using a keyboard. The buttons are easier to reach and I won’t accidentally let go of a button at some point. Makes movement easier as well.

I do not use a controller as Killer though, always keyboard. I used to but very promptly switched back.

Anybody else use a controller for Survivor on PC?

    I use a controller plugged into my PC. I know it prevents me from doing 360s but I just prefer the quicker overall interaction to a keyboard.

    I do as well. I’m considering getting a gaming keypad as it might be best of both worlds for this and other games I play.


    I think controller on survivor is so much smoother

    I play with an Xbone controller and wireless dongle on my PC for both killer and survivor. I don't game at a desk and have my PC hooked up to my tv through HDMI and hard-lined to my modem so I can play on my couch and relax.

    A good friend of mine uses a controller for Survivor and she's one of the best players I know.

    This.

    Sometimes I'm tired and would rather lay on the couch.

    I do. I’m not a big fan of playing PC games on keyboard and mouse

    Yeah, all the time. I do a lot of typing all day, so controllers are my go-to gaming input because they're way more comfortable.

    I play both sides with controller. I just prefer to use a controller whenever I can, and I had already learned to play DBD that way before I found out it was supposedly terrible for killer, so now doing anything else feels wrong.

    I play survivor with M&K because I can 360 easily with it, although I'm already used to M&K and find it WAY more comfortable than controller for DBD so yeah.

    I use controller, It allows me to sit on an exercise bike and play at the same time easily.

    Yes. I'm terrible with the keyboard controls, So I like to use a controller.

    I play Controller with PC for Killer and Survivor. Always played with a controller so if the controller is optional I always go for it.
