Joypad or Keybord?

[GloriusPipelius]

Just out of curiosity I wonder on witch of those two are playing? Joypad vs keyboard? I play with joypad some old blue one "logitech precision" it don't have analog just basic buttons and arrows and it's time for new one cause pointers (arrows) are really f***ed up end gets jammed a lot during gameplay.

i think a majority of players use the keyboard, but there is a good bunch of players using a gamepad.
as gamepad users in the top 12, as an example, you have our n°1, Richie, n°10 Inseedious, and
pigrosofo, 12. All others use the keyboard i think. They have in common to all use analog sticks.
Richie started with the x360 pad, and now uses the ps4 pad wich i think works on pc straight out of
the box without additional drivers.

Really, ps4 controler work with no drivers and aditional tools? You just connect it and it will work??

You can also count Vramvrim who uses a gamepad.
And yes the PS4 controller is pretty convenient, it works directly on the pc without having to use anything special which is pretty nice.

I blame Elias for my low ELO.

I once was using a pad, but he convinced me that I will never be able to compete with Pad against Keys. So I switched.

You know the rest of the story....... (almost 2k matches played ELO of 1200)

I confirm that I am a pad user. I have been using pads, and just them, since the beginning of my career in the tour. I have used always Playstation pads: in origin the PS1 and PS2 ones, with USB adaptor. Then I switched to PS3 pad, using it both with USB cable and Bluetooth connection mode.
Recently I've returned to PS2 one for several unplugging issues with the PS3 pad.
I think I managed to reach nice results in the tour using just a gamepad, so definitely: yes, it's possible to play a good tennis and to compete at good level in the tour with a gamepad, even if keyboard remains the most used tool
Record achieved by me for the most number of ripetitions of "pad/gamepad" term sorry

eheh, well, that was words from a long time pc user.. I never been able to reach the same level with a pad, probably
because i've never been a pad player. i'd advise pads only to seasonned console veterans. Even if we have top players
using a pad, overall i couldn't see a lot of players suceeding with it.

i also play with a gamepad. i tried today to play with a ps3 controller. When i play with cpu is everything ok. but when i host a game and i try to serve with 1+2 button i jump to the menu. the buttons are reversed but just in a hosted game. has anyone the same problem before?

[Sedas]

Problem solved:)

Touchscreen is the best.

[FEDERER2]

I love touchscreen too, great for movement, that's the "Cheat" to beating richie.




P.S. Don't tell anyone that it's a big secret

I've tried using voice commands...but my wife thinks I'm crazy yelling at the screen.
