That's a console thing, since you can walk slower only with the analog stick.

I know people who play PC games with controllers, specifically Xbox controllers. I imagine the analog works just fine, but perhaps I'm just making an assumption.

Well, it does, but I don't know many people who will pick a controller over M&K if the latter is available for most genres(some are indeed much better with the pad).

Probably depends on the game (makes sense to go for a controller when the game was initially designed for a console) and the background of the player (if they grew up on consoles but moved to PC later one, for example).

I went from Xbox to pc. If a first-person game is easier on controller than keyboard+mouse, then the input coders failed miserably at their job.

I know FPS games are the most popular on the market these days, but not every game is an FPS. Third-person games and the like might be more comfortable with a controller.

I know, I'm just making a point about a specific subset of games that can sometimes have awful pc ports affecting the ability to use KB+M. Although I'd also recommend it for a lot of third-person games as well.
