Do the dual stick (USB) gamepads work with 3d shooters? Can I control
movement (like AWSD keys) and aim (like mouse)?
Or is the old keyboard & mouse still better?

Some games support that unholy combination.

Yes, some games support it, and yes the keyboard and mouse is still
*infinitely* better.
If you go up in multiplayer with gamepad, you'll be slaughtered.
Brutally, rapidly, and repeatedly.
