Can anyone tell me if using an XBOX 360 controller on my Macbook Pro versus using the standard keyboard layout is easier to use? I like the keyboard, but I find myself looking down at my keyboard a lot because I keep hitting the wrong keys. Any benefit in using a gamepad?

The computer version of games are not usually designed with gamepads in mind. Most games on console have some kind of auto-aim due to lack of precise control of gamepads. Computer versions of the games do not have auto-aim, so you would be at a disadvantage.

You probably need to learn how to touch-type (typing without looking at the keyboard), or practice more with keyboard.
