I agree, always play with controller and the support has only improved and there's even a visual overlay of the controls. The game migrating to Xbox shows that with the simple mechanics and current animations work fine for console/controller setups. I especially like the LT, which 'snaps' the avatar forward in the 'ready' pose...I use it for moving in the L/R vector and if some rummy comes at me, I snap back forward.

I'm also a 'hybrid' player, using a PC w/controller and love my Hotkeys on the keyboard to swap weapons/drink/eat....and I can input text in the signs/map.
