I came up on pads for everything, and still do it for stuff like the Arkhams, Silksong, and various forms of platformer, but FPS? Once you’ve mouse aimed, the joypad just feels clunky.
I don’t know about that, I wouldn’t want to play a fighting game with standard keyboard. An ergonomic keyboard could work though. In any case from what I’ve seen those guys either play with a gamepad or an arcade stick.
Leverless controllers are pretty OP, you can hit both forward and back at the same time making movement inputs way faster for some moves & once you get used to it a mechanical keyboard feels about the same
Mouse and keyboard has never felt right for most games for me.

It’s better for FPS games and worse for action games.
Don’t forget about RTS, MMO and some CRPG.
And fighting games

It’s not worse for action games if you get good.
I tried kb&m for Witcher 3 for about 5 minutes. It was miserable.
I switched between Gamepad and M/KB for inventory management because I haven’t seen an Inventory yet where mouse input isn’t faster.
Seeing people play something like Assassin’s Creed on mouse and keyboard is just wild.
I rather play Assassin’s Creed and souls games on mouse and keyboard for the rest of my life that FPSs on controller.
You should try VR
I tried it once and I hated it.
GenZ?
Nope, millennial. Mouse and keyboard is fine for strategy games but I prefer a controller for almost everything else.
