I used a microsoft sidewinder when I played Mech 2 and it was fun, but by the time Mechwarrior 3 was released I was back to KB+Mouse and stuck to that since.

I actually don't like using a joystick. Once I get my mouse formatted right I prefer the keyboard. Though I set up my mech's with very particular types of weapons. Multi weapons mech's are better suited for joysticks. I am more of a one or two weapon type mech driver.

Partly nostalgia (was a large chunk of my childhood). Partly the ability to choose your own missions. And the salvage/maintenance/financial concerns gave it a much more involved metagame.
When it first came out I actually rather disliked MW3 compared to the MW2 era games. I've since tried to get back in and take another look at it but, alas, I can't get it to run on my current system.

I prefer a joy stick however the only one I had couldn't twist so I couldnt circle my opponent.
Currently for '4 I only really need my mouse: scroll wheel for speed. group 1= left click, group 2 = right click, group 3 = scroll wheel click.
z for zoom. f for coolant. keypad 7/9 for left and right twist. everything else defualt.

Picking mission, salvage, having one mission have a direct effect on the next(e.g. not having the cbills to make all repairs and still ahving to go through the next mission, or on an extended mission, trying to conserve ammo from one mission to the next). Not to mention being there for the clan invasion, even if they didn't call for honorable combat. It was a great experience.
MW3 was good as well, but I didn't enjoy it as much overall. not to mention i somehow doubt that your supposed to be able to put 1 JJ on a 100 ton mech(maybe it was 2) and then be able to spin the mech on a dime with the flick of a mouse. it was fun, but not true to the way i always envisioned Jump jets to work.
The original MW was great in it's day and had a good story, not to mention getting to pilot all the "unseen", but i can't honestly say it was better than any of the others.
KB and mouse BTW

I had the most overall fun with this game. Though it had it's share of flaws, and Activision never fully fixed this game (never forgave them for it either), I had many a good battle with friends and foes online with this title. Mechwarrior 3 was good but I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as far as online play was concerned. And the same goes for Mechwarrior 4 and Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries. They were fun too in their own ways, but it just wasn't quite the same for me.
That all said I did love every Mechwarrior game I ever played... and am very excited to see how this one plays out.

The Dire Wolf (Daishi) is a clan mech, so it won't be making any appearances for another year or so.
However, it's also one of the iconic clan assault mechs so I have a hard time imagining it NOT being available once the clans show up.
