Tried switching to an Xbox controller for my PC shooters after 10 years of keyboard and mouse

Swapped my KBM for a Series X pad last week to play Call of Duty on my lunch breaks in the break room and I completely whiffed every shot for three days straight before I gave up and went back, has anyone else found a setup that actually works for cramped spaces?

And honestly that's kind of how EVERYTHING is these days right? You spend YEARS getting good at something the "proper" way, building up all that muscle memory and instinct, and then one little change throws the whole thing off. I see it with my clients who remodel their kitchens and then can't find the spatula for a month. Your brain just gets so used to one way of doing things that switching feels like starting from scratch. The controller isn't the problem, the cramped space with a tiny mouse pad is the problem but nobody wants to admit that. It's the same reason people buy those tiny folding Bluetooth keyboards for their tablets and then wonder why they type like a toddler.

That kitchen remodeling analogy is spot on - how long does it usually take your clients before they stop reaching for the old spot where the spatula used to be?
