PC Gaming controls

So I am running a Dell Studio XPS 1640. It is aging, but still chugging along. I use steam, and now that I have started to play more, I need a way to control my games. I currently use the laptop's built in keyboard, which kinda sucks. Can't peek corners in CS:GO for shit. So I am exploring my options. I am considering a solid gaming keyboard, a console controller, or other options. Not sure where to turn at this point. This computer is aging quickly and I may need to upgrade, (desktop) and I would like to keep the same method, just because it will be more convenient.
Thoughts?
Cheers!

Get a usb dongle for a 360 wireless controller and you can use it on your pc, steam big picture. You could easily run the games on steam at high end with a 300$ or so GFX card.. My current one is older and I have dual monitors and then it going to a 70" TV and it runs smooth as silk

for FPS games nothing beats a mouse and keyboard for precision and speed. But either way you can get a little USB hub and get an external keyboard and mouse, but I would also get the xbox wireless controller setup for non fps games or more casual fps gaming.
Best to have both choices available.

Yeah I got a good keyboard and mouse too for when I can tolerate being at my computer. Shit kills my back sometimes though so I try and lay down and play if possible. I also have a mini keyboard and wireless gaming mouse to play some games laying down but obviously if you're playing with skilled people that won't fly very well. But as for regular games that are single player, I run that control because it feels just like a console except I know that I paid a fraction of the cost for the same game on consoles lol

Yup, this. Sometimes I prefer mouse/keyboard... but RPG games / Fighting games like Dark Souls, Skyrim, etc - controller is the way to go. Makes it a much more enjoyable experience IMO
Nothing beats a mouse in shooting games though

Yeah just get a USB keyboard and mouse, way superior to a controller for FPS games.

Any particular brand or model for the keyboard? I have been looking at a K95.
