yes it's true, because the joystick is easier to use than the keyboard and to maximize the game and earn more points
well, that depends upon what game you are playing in some games i feel myself comfortable with keyboard and in some i feel comfortable with joystick so that totally depends upon the game you are playing....
i guess it depends on the game, however i find a keyboard is the best and smallest solution since its already on your computer(im talking about laptops in general)...
Mostly i use keyboard for playing games. but racing games i used joystick. This helps us to get more points in racing games...
It obviously depends on the game!! playing things like morrowind on the pc, using the keys was a good way to go, put need for speed on and the joystick would be the best option.
