Controller vs Keyboard/Mouse: does it slow down frame rate

Hi people of the internet,

If im using a controller would it make it easier for the graphics card to create the game/FPS?

my theory is: because im using a controller on my pc games, the turn circle and general movement of the camera is slower. drawing each frame not needing to push as many polygons to the screen.

so would flicking round with the mouse have a bigger impact on the graphics card/FPS? and then having to turn down the setting to get a stable FPS?

its just something I was thinking about and have no real basis other than my own experiences.

im a couch player at heart cuz im lazy and like to relax with my games (last game played: prey).

if it doesnt effect the graphics i'd consider going with a mouse and keyboard to immerse myself more effectively in to the game (still on the couch)

no real debate on which is better but I thought id see what you guys had to say on the better

thanks

I can run most modern games on medium settings at 60 fps but if youd like specs i can get them tomoz
