Well, according to AI the best way to balance controller and mouse and keyboard players is to have separate pools of players. Anyway, this is what #ChatGTP had to say:

"Sure, balancing controller versus mouse and keyboard players in an online first-person shooter game can be a challenge.

One of the main challenges is that controller players and mouse and keyboard players have different strengths and weaknesses when it comes to playing the game. For example, controller players may have an advantage when it comes to aiming and manoeuvring their character, while mouse and keyboard players may have an advantage when it comes to precision shooting and quick movements.

Another challenge is that controller players and mouse and keyboard players may have different preferences when it comes to the game's settings and features. For example, some controller players may prefer a higher sensitivity setting for their controller, while some mouse and keyboard players may prefer a lower sensitivity setting for their mouse.

To address these challenges, game developers often try to create separate matchmaking pools for controller players and mouse and keyboard players, so that players with similar control methods are matched against each other. This can help to level the playing field and ensure that players are matched against opponents with similar abilities. Additionally, game developers may also offer different settings and customization options for controller and mouse and keyboard players, so that each group can tailor the game to their preferences.

Overall, balancing controller versus mouse and keyboard players in an online first-person shooter game is a complex challenge that requires careful consideration and ongoing adjustment. By creating separate matchmaking pools and offering customization options, game developers can help to ensure that players of all skill levels and control methods can have a fair and enjoyable experience."

I've started to play video games standing much more often than sitting, the health benefits are well known plus it gets me closer to the TV. #gaming

Out of these two I’m not sure what’s my favourite. The BIGBIG Won enhanced original is feature packed and has 4 back buttons. But the Turtle Beach Recon has much better ergonomics and lots of sound options. #xp #xbox #gaming

I decided to forgo a proper lunch and try the #ArmorXPro with #HaloInfinite instead. Here’s the deal: I performed just as well as I do with the #TurtleBeachRecon but I’m still not used to the two extra back buttons. Ergonomically the #TurtleBeach is better, but this is better made, feels solid! #xp #gaming

For a first to a KDA of 7.3 is good.

Coming for Switch via Microsoft’s cloud or coming to Nintendo’s upcoming new gaming hardware natively? Either way interesting. #gaming #nintendo #xbox https://twitter.com/XboxP3/status/1600342335845724160?s=20&t=GlA-Xi9Cl7FRYqYSUpX6zQ

There’s a lot of talk today about the price of video games, but considering what prices used to be back in the 80s and 90s we have it good today.

That’s 1995 in this photo and games are $100. With inflation that’s $195.55 today.

We don’t have it too bad. #gaming

I finally braved up and started playing ranked matches on #HaloInfinite first 2 were horrible! Then I started to get into the swing of things and did much better. #xp #gaming

I'm walking around thinking #HaloInfinite. Every corner represents danger, music is booming inside my head. This is what obsession feels like. #xp #gaming

This tiny gaming capable PC looks great! Running SteamOS it would be a neat alternative to a Steam Deck. #gaming #xp #linuxgaming https://minis-pc.com/blog/new-minisforum-venus-um690-amd-ryzen-9-6900hx/

I'm getting better at aiming with the controller at #HaloInfinite. Close to 50% is now not that uncommon. I really don't think I could do it without back buttons or joystick extensions :) I'm about to become very obsessive about controllers. #gaming #xp

Is it just me or are you having disconnection issues with Halo Infinite? Gggggggrrrrrrrrrrrr! Agh!!!! #gaming #xbox #HaloInfinite #halo

Do you watch Esports? #gaming

Wow! Stadia hardware refunds. You get to keep a pretty decent pad and you get a refund! It cannot be denied, Stadia was the best deal in gaming in recent memory. Free everything! 😉 https://www.theverge.com/2022/11/30/23486304/google-stadia-hardware-refund-store #Stadia #xp #gaming

Has anyone tried #Halo #Forge? I'm tempted to give it a go, but I'm scared I'll get lost in map and script creating and I won't play again :) #gaming #xp

One cool thing about the Xbox Series S is that it is a tiny little thing you can hide away when you are not using it. #xp #gaming #XboxSeriesS #XboxSeriesX

4 of my favourite #RetroGaming systems of all time. What are some of yours? And yeah, I’m taking the liberty of saying Stadia is retro already 😄 #xp #gaming

I'm waiting for the following gaming purchases to arrive. Are you waiting for any gaming related products? #xp #gaming

Oh man! This raised stock works GREAT!!! I love it. #xp #gaming

Ordered myself a Christmas gift. #xp #gaming #xbox
