Im debating on getting a 360 controller for the PC. I use the keyboard & mouse for all my games.

Would the 360 controller be easier to use?

I prefer 360 controller because I use it more than keyboard and mouse. It is easyer for me. tounge.gif

I use it for all my games (PES 09, Bully, Need for Speed....)

I say what ever you used for San Andreas. I have GTA IV on PS3, but I've been wanting to try the controls for PC.

Both - 360 controller for driving.  Mouse / keyboard for shooting.

You can switch between the two during game play?

when i set up my keys for movement (up/down/left/right) on arrow keys , the game is impossible to play because the arrow keys 'turn' the camera at the same time as walking, so if i hold RIGHT arrow key my guy walks in circles .. can the camera rotating be turned off ?

thanks

I used a playstaion2 controller for san andreas (got a USB adapter off ebay for a few quid)

 

I bought a 360 controller few months back, primarilly for use with GTA IV.

 

A Shame that the game runs like sh*t and ruins the whole enjoyment of it....

Yup, in fact if you are at a part where it's telling you to press A to do something and you hit a key on the keyboard it will even change that key on the screen to F or whatever you map for the action key. They did a great job with the controls and being able to use both and switch on and off while playing.

360 controller quite a lot better, since its designed to be used with it out the box. It was a differnt story with SA, which was better with a k/b mouse (imo).
