I am a PC gamer; I have been for over 20 years when I started copying the code out of gaming magazines to play on my trash-80.
My biggest gripe about consoles was the controller. FPS's can't be properly controlled with my thumb. Maybe your thumb, but not mine.
There were a lot of people playing MW2 here in Iraq on a PS3 LAN - you know, the function that was removed from the PC version. I was missing playing in the LAN parties so I bought a PS3 and joined in. Frustrated with the damn controller, I searched for a bit online and found the "Fragnstein".
Yeah, it is a stupid name. It is a wireless mouse for your right hand and a wireless "nunchuck" style controller for your left. They work off of a wireless USB receiver. The company supports them with firmware updates and the button arrangement can be completely customized with their setup software. Flashing was easy (although the PC driver software was a bit wonky to install).
I have gone from nearly last place in every game to first place in almost every game after two evenings of playing. I am certain that this will improve with more practice and a bit more customization.
I cannot recommend this controller enough. Everywhere I looked they were sold out except for a direct supplier: www.7summitz.com. There are some other good reviews on Amazon.com.
No, I do not work for this company. I just wanted to share my discovery.
