And the people that can manipulate the controller better and have enough practice aiming and hitting multiple buttons with the same fingers can jump around and score head shots on multiple opponents easily.

but the thing is, thats my point. read the last line before the edit. a game shouldnt be about who has the longest most stretchy fingers, or how well you can overcome a clumsy controller. it should be about how fast you can aim and think, and then move around accordingly. the controller hindering you should not be an issue. your skill should be the issue. with a console everything is how fast you can get to the out of place buttons. boring.
also i really doubt you or anyone really does all that stuff
-button placement makes it pretty impossible to do it simultaneously, or even in succession quickly.
-if you were to hold the joystick all the way to the edge, it still wouldnt be fast enough to do it effectivley, do one thing for me. tell me how long it takes for you to be standing still and pressing no other buttons and doing nothing else. do a 180 and then come back.
EX: with a console FPS if you find yourself up to someones backside, you can take your time to "spray and pray" kill them because the controller makes it so hard for them to turn around. PC FPS: you better make sure you hit them in the head because they will turn around and shoot back and you instantly. see the difference in fun?
and like i said, you only use 2-3 fingers of the mouse button (i use 2 fingers to actual use, and a third to activate microphone), and you need 3 fingers just to move effecivley with a keyboard. and also it takes an extra button to change speed, not just holding the joystick less.
similarly, platform games fail on keyboard, you need a controller.
