Re: keyboard or gamepad ?

Might as well give it an update.

FPS: Mouse and Keyboard combo obviously.

Games that fair better with controllers: Xbox 360 wired/Wireless - the latter requires a special adapter and a manual driver install search on Win 7 and above, the wired edition is PnP. Xbox one Controller (PnP)

PS3 DS controller - unable via charging cable and third party software. So controller choices are all preference based.

Steam Controller - Weird design, well supported on Steam and third party mods available for support outside of steam. Not a fan but a well received controller.

Note: Many PC releases that have controller support map controls for the Xbox 360 and Xbox one controller by default. Few games offer PlayStation layout.

Wheel: Logitech G25 or G27. Both fantastic setups and well worth the money for sim racing enthusiast's.

Flight sim: Saitek x52-x56. Enthusiast's gear again really so expensive. Most setups are custom with multiple modular parts all from different manufacturers. Rarely see multiple similar setups around the web as again its user preference.

VR headsets: HTC Vive. Steam and HTC combo design, can't go wrong, literally built with gaming in mind. A well received device and naturally well supported with steam games as well as third party modifications.

Custom controllers for emulation: Look at Amazon and reviews. There's no real official controllers for dedicated emulation but plenty of third party made ones that are decent. From Atari to NES etc. They're essentially just standard circuit with default button maps which you can actually DIY at home, YouTube tutorials. It's the casing of course where nostalgia arises.

Will update again in about 10 years...
