In gaming, do mouse and keyboard players have better accuracy than controller players?

Yes, gamers who use the keyboard and mouse have better accuracy. The reason behind this is that the keyboard and mouse are used for pointing in all computer games, FPS games e.g. counter-strike, most games for PC. While the controller is used for playing games for TV, i.e. Xbox, PS. One more note, gamepads are better for playing sports management games, i.e. Madden.

While it is somewhat true that gaming mice are more accurate than gaming controllers, the real difference in accuracy between controllers and mouse is a myth.

This is one of the most common question in the gaming community. This question has been debated over forums, blogs, and even in gaming magazines, but no one has provided any concrete answer. So, we decided to do detailed research on this topic. We asked 50 marker and keyboard gamers to shoot us their stats and results. We compared their performance with controller users who submitted their stats as well. Results show that keyboard and mouse users have slightly higher accuracy than gamers using controllers.
