I don't see how that's even, I sure plays better on PC then on Halo3.
i share fingers with things taht dont need to be done at the same time. im totally hardcore dude

EX: i dont need to fire or zoom while i switch weapons, so i can assign extra buttons on the mouse to do weapon selection wihtout needing to use extra fingers. if you count scroll up and scroll down as a button (since i map it that way) my the topside of the mouse actually has 5 buttons i can get to those 5 buttons fastest with my index and middle finger. its pointless to use any other finger on the top of the mouse, and i already get 5 functions out of it. for the side i use my thumb to handle the talk button. i still have 3 more buttons on my mouse, which are raley used. things like selecting rarley used weapon slots, which again, my thumb can handle.

on the keyboard side, i dont need to strafe left and right at the same time, so those two fingers can be used for other things as well. thats what i mean above by button placement on the contrer. button placement on keybaords and mice allow for a much higehr utilization of your fingers, but you dont actually need more fingers.

when playing FPS games the total number of buttons that a PC gamer can utilize is much higher than a controller.
but when playing other types of games, its the opposite.

bottom line: dont use a controller for FPS games. it ruins the whole thing.
