Mouse and keyboard has never felt right for most games for me.
You should try VR
I came up on pads for everything, and still do it for stuff like the Arkhams, Silksong, and various forms of platformer, but FPS? Once you've mouse aimed, the joypad just feels clunky.
It's better for FPS games and worse for action games.
It's not worse for action games if you get good.
I tried kb&m for Witcher 3 for about 5 minutes. It was miserable.
I switched between Gamepad and M/KB for inventory management because I haven't seen an Inventory yet where mouse input isn't faster.
Don't forget about RTS, MMO and some CRPG.
And fighting games
I don't know about that, I wouldn't want to play a fighting game with standard keyboard. An ergonomic keyboard could work though. In any case from what I've seen those guys either play with a gamepad or an arcade stick.
Leverless controllers are pretty OP, you can hit both forward and back at the same time making movement inputs way faster for some moves & once you get used to it a mechanical keyboard feels about the same
GenZ?
Nope, millennial. Mouse and keyboard is fine for strategy games but I prefer a controller for almost everything else.
