There is a huge difference between PC games and console games (gamecube, X-box, PS2, etc)….
I have played PC games for many years (late 80’s) as well as several platform games, and trust me, using a keyboard and mouse is FAR better than a joystick/gamepad. You see, console games cannot use real-time aiming like a mouse… instead, they have to rely on using a target button, which is a lot like cheating (don’t we wish we had a ‘target’ button when WE shoot people?). If you would invest about 30-45 days with a keyboard, getting used to the W,A,S, and D keys as the main movement keys, you would quickly grow accustomed to the controls.
Nowdays, I only play PC games. My kids play on gamecube, and I can’t hardly stand it. If they play a first-person shooter on Gamecube, it is impossible to run to the left, and shoot to the right at the same time. You are forced to run in the direction you want to shoot. You are also forced to scroll through weapons to change them… with a PC you can assign 10 different weapons to the 10 number keys, and instantly pick one without having to roll through all the others.
Also, don’t play counterstrike online without being very proficient with the controls… you’ll get your tail whipped very badly. Play the single player game (like Half-life) and get accustomed to it that way.
p.s. If you program your keys right, your left hand will be able to control about 15 things without having to move the hand at all… just the fingers. This allows for fast response and max. speed. The keys on the right half of the keyboard shouldn’t be used much at all.
Good luck, and don’t give up!

First person shooters are best played with the Keyboard and mouse. PC gamers that are good at FPS may not do as well when playing Halo 2 on the xbox due to the awkard controls.
