They're not difficult to control but do take a bit of getting used to. I find it easier if I hold it more like a paintbrush than a pen. I'd also recommend practicing with each nib before using them on a project, as some are more sensitive to pressure than others.
Oh if you do decide to get some be sure to remove the oil coating that protects them by dipping them in boiling water for 30 seconds or running a flame over them for 3 seconds (no longer or the nib becomes brittle)

Hey wow! Great tips! Thanks a million @phoenixmaid. I'll have to look into them next time I am at the art store.
