WhatIfGaming has a post (thanks BluesNews) about the controls in the PC edition of Dead Space:
Bad news? The controls are 2nd to the worst controls we've seen ever since Path of Neo came to the PC platforms. The smoothness compared to consoles is just not there, and from what we can tell it doesn't seem like a patch can fix most of the issues. Inventory stack access becomes frustrating when fighting with monsters and aiming for on-the-fly changes. The controls just aren't smooth. When contacting EA Redwood Shores regarding these issues:
It's ironic that it needs to be argued that it matches the console experience from the controls in EA's eyes. The fact isn't a matter of customization as much as it's just not feasible to do most of the mapped controls on the keyboard and still maintain a fluid transition between interface and gameplay. If you have a console, go with the console version of Dead Space. The PC one is just not the same thing. If you're tight on $20 extra for the console version, rent it and then settle for the PC one after. It's such a shame.
