Default GTA4 PC XBOX 360 control pad vs Keyboard \ mouse

I am installing, the PC version right now.

Previously on this adventure, I plugged my xbox controller into my windows vista ultimate (32bt?) and it autolocated a driver for me in moments. It is now flashing happily.

Is my player one hemisphere gunna light up when the game starts running?

Will I be able to over ride the controller with my mouse and end this silly FPS platform debate? when I am driving maybe? Fix a flaw in the game that would.
Drop the wheel - Grab the Gat - or even go ambidextrous on it - get a friend to be the trigger man.... feck people lets get creative.
Why did none of you propose this? Maybe it wont work...

when I am driving maybe? Fix a flaw in the game that would.

Good to meet you, *****es.
I am pretty picky about forums - but if you're super cool I might stick around.

I'll deffo be back to update you if the mouse will operate the crosshairs.

They both work, I use the Xbox gamepad for most but prefur the mouse when in a firefight, I however have not tried using both while driving, having a wheelman while oanother shoots might be fun, Gotta fire up GTA and give it a try.

The good thing about using M+K when driving is that you can use the mouse to constantly change the camera angle. I find it really helpful when turning, as you can see round the corners before you turn

That's true.

Still, i find the xbox controllers analogue stick precision also beneficial. The controller is usually reserved just for helicopter flying, however.
