KBM is better depending on what the game is. Like for instance, I couldn't imagine playing an RTS with a controller...but on the other hand, I couldn't imagine playing a game with minimalist controls, like Beyond Two Souls, with a keyboard.
It really boils down to the how the gameplay is designed to determine which is better. That's why I get a little irked when I see people say "KBM is factually better. End of story" or something along those lines, without taking into account that there are games that just simply would not work on KBM. Not literally, as in not compatible, but in the sense that it just wouldn't "feel" right. |

| Having a game set in a first person vantage point doesn't mean it's an FPS. Like Mirrors Edge is not an FPS. |

Have you ever tried playing a racing game with a KBM
It's impossible
Plus some PC controls are so horrid you HAVE to use a controller (prototype 2) |

| Skyrim is a First-Person game, a mouse is more accurate than a controller in first-person. |

"Skyrim isn't a FPS" - Skyrim has Bows, wich you fire. As well as crossbows.
"Mirrors Edge isn't a FPS" - It has Pistols, SMGs, HMGs, Shotguns, and Rifles... Which you shoot from a first person perspective... So I think that is a First Person shooter.

| @Rampage, I'd consider Mirrors Edge a platforming FPS. |

It's still a FPS, no matter the type of FPS.

| Skyrim is an First Person Single-player RPG more than an FPS. |

gonna solve this debate "First-person shooter (FPS) is a video game genre centered on gun and projectile weapon-based combat through a first-person perspective" (i know wikipedia's not a viable source but whatever)
while skyrim features plenty of combat, only about half of it (and i'm being generous by including magic) is projectile-based and there's not enough focus on the combat for the game to be "centered" around it |

1. skyrim is a third/first person RPG game, not an FPS.
2. Mirror's edge isn't FPS; it's just got guns. it's a platformer-type first person game. |
