Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. (thelemmy.club)

I gave up on console gaming for the same reason (the last console I owned was a Super Nintendo) but that's because mouse+keyboard is just so superior that using dual-joystick controllers feels like punishment rather than entertainment.

I'm just now exploring PC gaming and i have NO idea how you all use the keyboard and mouse for FPS games. Controller is all i know and so much easier.

It just takes practice. Once you learn it playing FPS games on controllers feels sluggish.

I remember when I first played Quake my character wildly looked up and down while I was trying to move because I was used to Doom where it didn't matter if I moved the mouse up or down.
