Fluid robotic teleoperation enables operators to efficiently perform tasks remotely when full autonomy is not feasible. As robots become more affordable and accessible, teleoperation systems are increasingly applicable across a wider range of scenarios. Consequently, the demand for intuitive, user-friendly interaction designs is growing, particularly for non-experts. This paper presents a velocity-based direct control scheme using a game controller to remotely operate a stationary robotic arm and manipulate objects with minimal training. A user study with 36 participants was conducted to compare the usability and performance of this system with a position-based leader-follower (kinesthetic) configuration. Participants completed peg-in-hole tasks with two object shapes. Results indicate that while the game controller is adequate for grasping and low-precision tasks, it leads to lower overall performance, increased workload, and reduced usability compared to the conventional leader-follower configuration.
