I guess this should be an appropriate community, participants possibly on the older side... so, I only recently got my first gamepad. played with keyboard and mouse up until then.

so, with a couple of games I tried (tomb raiders, uncharted, NFS, etc) it's kinda going but I suck at anything that needs fast responses, like aiming and hitting moving enemies; don't think I'd have any trouble with a mouse.

so I guess my question is - any old timers around that got good at this late in their gaming career?

I started really gaming on xbox 360 with elder scrolls but then around 2019 I focused on getting good with mouse and keyboard and switching to pc.

I used to do those aim training games and got pretty good at it but then when I had my baby I tried going back to controller to game on the TV but it was tough.

I ended up getting a lap desk and an azeron keypad with a hand held ball mouse thing to play like rts games.

I think I'd need to sit down and just practice with an aim trainer like I did going to mouse and keyboard to get back to using a controller to play games that require decent aim

A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.
