Happy Joy JoySticks
How many people actually use joysticks to play freespace 1/2? I have a 10 button one and it's really fun to play with.

Just wonderin. :D

I use combination of the two but more on the joystick though.

All joystick here, except for comm functions and some other keyboard essentials, of course.  I love my Sidewinder 3D Pro (also great for Descent :D).

Got a Thrustmaster Top Gun Afterburner II. Low-range HOTAS or high range joystick, depends on your level of elitism :p
But I got Most of the control on the joystick this way :)

I've used both but I prefer using my mouse for the greater precision in aiming.  My mouse has total of 7 buttons so I've mapped some of them for pitch to add to my manuevering capability.

Joystick. Used to be a Saitek Cyborg Gold, but my little brother killed it playing racing games too violently with it (he's buggered the twist axis - Z IIRC), the fool. So now I'm getting him to buiy me a new one. I'm torn between the new top-end Saitek, cos they're great, and getting a HOTAS setup. ;7 Whaddaya think?

But for my mod, I have up/down/left/right thrusters, so I use WASD in conjuction with the stick :)

I have a saitek x45 I use for flight/space-sims. It's nice for its price. :D
