I just can't bring myself to play Witcher 1 I played like 5 minutes the combat was too painful to live. I've never played 2, is it super dated now or should I give it a shot before I run 3?

Yeah - go for it. You might not get some of the lore but you'll still enjoy the game I am pretty sure.
I never played a Witcher 3 game before and I didn't feel like I missed anything. Everything is explained in-game. They made the game very accessible to people who've never played a Witcher game before. So yes OP, go for it. I never have been much of a RPG, and after finished Witcher 3 I can safely say it's one of my favorite games of all time. The attention to detail, the stories... even the damn side quests felt original and different with new stories and interesting characters. The Bloody Baron side quest line was my favorite.
I would highly advise you to play them all, if you can possibly do so. The trilogy is one of the next on my backlog and I am to understand that each game can offer new content if you save is imported into the next one (a la Mass Effect, though perhaps a bit more subtle). Thus to get the most out of all three games, playing them in sequence and on the same platform is worthwhile.
Oh, when it comes to the earlier titles, I highly suggest you use mods and upgrades to modernize the experience a little, and be sure always be using the latest patch. For instance, for TW1, use the "Rise of the White Wolf" mod for a LOT of graphical upgrades, quests being added back in, and a few other tweaks (adding the Scabbard Mod is a good idea as well). You can optionally use the Full Combat Rebalance mod, but it may make the game much harder. TW2 doesn't have any "must have" mods the same as the original does with Rise of the White Wolf, but still its worth looking over the Nexus Mods site. For all The Witcher games, there is a nice modding community.
While you can play 3 without the other 2, I think you'll get the most out of them if you can play all three.

Is there any fix for the control scheme? I tried playing #1 once but the controls sucked quite badly.

Wiki has them labeled as "sex cards"#1 is clunky at a design and a game engine level. It can't be fixed
#1 for me was mostly about banging as many chicks as possible to get their portrait cards (or whatever they were called).
