Depends on what controller works best for me.

When the demo for Forza 3 was released, I went out and got a force feedback wheel. I practiced with it for a week, but my lap times were still seconds slower than when I used the standard controller. The wheel, though designed for the game, just didn't work for me.

When MWO is released, I'll likely try different controllers. But I'll probably start with keyboard and mouse.

I voted on that new Razor controller. Though, to tell the truth, that'll depend on the price of it. Otherwise, I'll dig out by old joystick from my MW4 days.

[Seth Striker]

mouse and keyboard here. old school.

Joystick and nostromo n52te.

Side note for those buying new gear, I suggest getting the extended warrentee. While usually not worth it IMHO, in this case it was a good idea. I went through 5 flightsticks in two and a half years with Mechwarrior 4.

G19 and Rat 9 for me

[terrrrrible]

I'll start with keyboard and mouse to see how it is. Then, based on how much I'm playing, I may go out and pick up a joystick. That's always how I played way back in the day.

Though, I was doing some looking around last night and saw the Razer Artemis and immediately started to drool over it. I doubt I'll play enough to even come close to justifying spending the absurd amount of money it will probably cost though.

Be Joystick and Footpedals for me

I don`t have an X52 yet, but when the game is released I will use that Stick to immerse into the Battlefield. Dominate? That`s another story altogether. ;p

Me and my baby here have been through so many games (MechWarrior 4, X-wing, Battlestation:Pacific, Battlefield [2,3,2142], Operation Flashpoint, Arma, IL-2 Sturmovik, Lock-on etc.) that I can't imagine playing MWO in any other way

Hey give me back my...oh wait....must be my baby's twin sister! She certainly will not fail me!

However, to be totally accurate, I'll be using Joystick AND Keyboard. Much fun, the 'feel' of a little command center, but only fun with the joystick involved

Saitek Cyborg 3D Gold USB. Unless my mouse is better. Will try both.

If anyone wants to get me that Logitech flight control setup though I'll use it exclusively, swear.

[Dredrik Salkon]

My RAT 5 mouse and Azio Levetron Mech 4 keyboard. I bought them both just for this game.

also, hi there Icegryphon. Only you would buy that thing and then show everyone while we cry over our cheap, walmart knockoffs.

[manny082]

i use a logitech rumblepad 2 but i will buy a new gamepad before MWO starts

[GrizzlyViking]

I will try different methods and see which one I like the best for the MWO set-up. I liked JS best in MW4 and mouse/key best in MW3, but I won't really know what I am going to use in MWO until I get in the game and try them.

Start off with mouse/keyboard; if that works fine, if not I'll try to find a decent joystick.

wow i had no idea there were so many types of advanced joysticks available. But sadly i think ima wait till launch, see what the game is like, and how much im willing to pay for the game itself before i dump even more money into a fancy controller i literally dont need. I would love to give MWO the benefit of fthe doubt, but i have been dissappointed in Online games before. Namely SWTOR, Rift and STO, i would love to become a founder, but i am not in a position to be able to say if its worth putting off our vacation for another month. Maybe with a lot more information about the game, but likely not. Not your fault devs and fans. Blame my trepidation on the other MMOs out there that simply did not deliver what was promised, or couldnt. STO is the biggest culprit, i followed that game during beta and subbed to it for nearly a year before i figured out that the Executive producer was a spineless bimbo. He made bold promises on the forums, then didnt deliver on them. Likely not his fault that he was stuck between the IP licence owners, the game developers, and a new parent company from Korea. Needless to say he should have made no promises, and concentrated on his job more closely instead of leaking info to STOked all the time.
