Because when you stop moving a mouse, your crosshairs stops moving. But with a controller, you need to re-centre the joystick to get your crosshairs to stop moving. You need to actively do something to make it stay on target, versus a mouse where once it's on target, you just stop moving it.
- capableweb 4y agoHave you never used a joystick? They all "recentre" automatically when you stop pushing/pulling it. Same principle, stop moving the joystick, the crosshair stops. Still more inaccurate than mouse, but that's not the reason.
- Mikeb85 4y agoThe "automatic" re-centre-ing isn't instant and momentum inevitably carries your crosshairs past the target. It's literally the reason no one is as accurate with a controller as most are with a mouse... That and the fact that a mouse moves your cursor in a direct fashion whereas a joystick on a controller changes the rate at which the cursor moves a certain direction. Fundamentally different mechanics.
