Joystick w/throttle and twist rotation axii, and Keyboard. It's canon, as they say.

HOTAS. Hands down the best way to get maximum immersion.

[Larry Headrick]

Will wait till closer to launch but leaning tward HOTAS, with track.

[CobraFive]

Mouse + Key, maximum performance IMO.

Also I don't have a working joystick...

[Dankh]

Keyboard and Joystick.

I have a Microsoft Sidewinder 2 Precision I've had for many years. Torso twist, throttle, hat for looking side to side and up and down (death from above ) and plenty of buttons for weapon groups.

Gamepads and mouse/keyboard setups are not mech controls....'nuff said

[Redburn]

HOTAS, Keyboard, pedals, MFD's, mouse, touchscreens, and anything else I don't already have.....

[Kai Harper]

Joystick and pedals or joystick and keyboard for me, thanks. Hell, I'm buying a joystick purely for this game.

Don't wish to sound rude, but why have a Poll going when the majority of followers and die hard MechWarrior fans roam around the forums on mwomercs.com. Why isn't there a poll up on these boards? It's not like I'm going to facebook and account just so I can vote for my preferred control setup.

Mouse + keyboard have served me well all these decades.
Would I like HOTAS or something similar? Yes but not enough room on my setup for that yet.

Muscle memory and just plain tradition has kept me on mouse + key anyways.

They need to do stuff to generate interest on the FB side of things? Keep the people subscribed interested who may not come here?

[Hans Landa]

Neurohelmet and Joystick here (?)


Seriously, i'll go for mouse + keyboard. Keep in mind that not every player is from US/EU. I'm from southamerica and the joysticks are pretty expensive (You may spend 40U$S for a joystick. For example, here a Thrustmaster TopGun Stick costs 450$ (Around 100 U$S))

[Black Sunder]

Mouse and Keyboard

[Jehan]

HOTAS and Rudder pedals at home

Mouse & Keyboard at work

... The whole point of Meka's post was that it is easier, not that it is impossible. o.O

In that case, my apologies to Mekabuser . ..

When I read it, it sounded like he was saying it was impossible to do with the WASD keyboard control scheme.

[Harlequin4457]

Another vote for HOTAS. It's the only way to go!

[nano]

Stick + throttle + pedals

Its the only way it feels like MechWarrior to me.

[Devlin Davion]

Dual joystick control (HOTAS), pedals with modular heads up display with multiple monitor support! Touch screen control support also for modular systems.

[Frosty Thundertrod]

I tryed a joystick in MW:LL but I found that driving the mech with the key bord. and aiming with the mouse is best

[carl kerensky]

Most likely Joystick and Key. As long as you guys support joysticks... I will be a happy mecharrior
Its all about the sim aspects for me. No more piloting a rubber mechsuit but piloting in a massive Mech War machine..
