Other than soulslikes I pretty much always prefer mouse+KB. Playing bg3 with a controller briefly during a co-op run was just way worse, for example.
BG3 is completely playable with a controller though. Yes, kbm is better here, but I've played 2 entire campaigns on my deck and it was fine. The radials can be kind of annoying but you can customize them so it's not so bad. You can tell Larian put a lot of work into making a good controller experience, while Solasta: Crown of the Magister (for example) promised controller support but it plays like ass with one.
Solasta actually plays pretty well with an old Steam Controller and the right controller mapping, but I can see where you're coming from on a controller without a touchpad input.
BG3 has an entirely different interface when using controller. I'm not a fan of the radial menus, but it's not really an issue with the controller.
