The debate between whether controller or keyboard and mouse is stronger in Apex Legends has raged for quite some time, with both sides believing the other holds a key advantage in some way. Mouse and keyboard players have claimed that controller is utterly dominant, though, likening the aim assist to a \u201csoft aimbot\u201d in the last few months. Some Apex Legends pros have even switched to controller in competitive play, and it\u2019s been paying off for them in ALGS matches as they\u2019ve been topping the kills leaderboards. In the case of iiTzTimmy, the 100 Thieves star is a dedicated keyboard and mouse player, pulling off some of the best highlights the game has ever seen, but he has tested a controller too. Though, he wouldn\u2019t make the switch again. iiTzTimmy debates controller vs keyboard &#038; mouse in Apex Legends It was a topic that came up during a recent stream, with Timmy talking about keyboard and mouse versus controllers in a competitive setting. \u201cI do think controllers are strong, I do think they are difficult to play on. I think controllers are kind of hard to play on, it\u2019s definitely not the easiest thing because you\u2019re limited with your fingers, but I think if you play controller a lot, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s that hard,\u201d the 100 Thieves star said. \u201cI feel like the aim assist is really strong, I wouldn\u2019t say it\u2019s easy don\u2019t get me wrong, but I would say it\u2019s harder for M\/K players to aim of course. I mean, that\u2019s how it should be for sure, would I go on controller full-time? No, I don\u2019t think so.\u201d Timmy noted that mouse and keyboard is more \u201cfun\u201d to play on, especially given the movement techniques you can pull off, but when it comes to competitive play, it\u2019s all about aiming and that\u2019s where controller players are \u201cdominant.\u201d Some players have urged Respawn to tone down aim assist especially in competitive play, but it is such a fine line to navigate that they can\u2019t do something like that on a whim. So, who knows if it will ever change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>iiTzTimmy explains why controller players \u2018dominate\u2019 Apex Legends competitive iiTzTimmy\/Respawn\/Unsplash100 Theives\u2019 Timmy \u2018iiTzTimmy\u2019 An has weighed in on the ongoing debate between controller vs mouse and keyboard in Apex Legends, and he believes aim assist is a bit strong.
