I'd imagine. I mostly use a controller for where the analog buttons and triggers and sticks make sense. Way back when that was GTA Vice City. While it was playable with mouse and keyboard, a controller made motorbikes and boats actually fun. Flying was also much easier but I wouldn't call it fun... Same thing really in GTA:SA, especially the bike stunt challenge... I wonder if anyone finished the NRG-500 Challenge with a mouse and keyboard? It's the one where you race around a dry dock trying to get a bunch of fairly difficult jumps to reach a bunch of glowy things with very little margin for mistakes, time is just super scarce. More recently, driving in GTA 4, Defiance and Rage at least have been games where the controller makes sense. On the other hand, Borderlands showed how to do mouse + keyboard driving controls that don't suck so no controller use there. > Maybe consider a fancier 'Gamers' mouse. Always a good idea. I realized once on a remote working day that even my retired MX-510 gaming mouse is great for desktop use too. Especially compared to a Dell pointing stick. High accuracy, sharp buttons and easy motions are good for any mouse use.
