K+M or Controller?

Want to get into speedrunning this game, before I do anything though I want to know if it's better to speedrun with keyboard and mouse or controller. I've been told its easier to be more consistent with controller but more precise with K+M, which makes sense. Any help?

When perfected using K+M you'll have precise accuracy. When using a controller you can be more casual and you can screw up and still be successful. However things aren't as precise. It's a matter of what you prefer. The majority prefer K+M because it is superior.

K+M is in general faster as you are able to do more. With K+M, you have easier access to the main glitch in the game, and you do a lot of the movements in a more precise and quicker fashion. If you are just looking to just casually run this, running with controller is arguably easier, and therefore might be the better route (especially if you're more comfortable with a controller). If you are looking to actually get good times in this game, K+M is better

I'm really bad with K+M but I tried it on a friend computer, it really feels that I you're faster on K+M. But I stick to controller because I like it better and I run consol. But I think what make PC better is 60fps. I must admit that consol have mini lags that screw up some landings, break up momentum and have outrageous long loading times. I think playing with controller on PC with 60fps is good to start and when you're able to do tricks constently try it with K+M, it feel really easier when you're adjusting. (Also, free wheel mouse.....)

Don't play with a controller; don't fall for the meme.

Yeah controllers and Mirror's Edge speedruns don't work. use Keyboard and Mouse to kickglitch and slideglitch. both are pretty impossible on controller, especially at 60fps.
