I'm not sure why so many people are a fan of using a gamepad. Using just the default LSPDFR mod yeah, I can see why people would use it. But it is no fun to use just LSPDFR, there is so many more mods that compliment it well but the gamepad is is so limited on how many buttons you can have mapped to it that using the mouse + KB is so much more enjoyable because most mods are 100% configurable and you can bind the shortcut keys to nearly anything on your keyboard leading to many less conflicts.
