Exactly. I have a friend with severe carpal tunnel and a mouse/keyboard really seems to bother him, but a controller doesn't.

It isn't always about "Ozmgz, why would you not be super comepetive and get the edge using a mouse!".
Shit, I even have a friend trying PS2 who has NEVER played a PC game and has used a controller all his life.
