CH Stick/throttle and pedals if supported. Idealy would like to go with 2 joysticks. Anyone know of a good stick thats comfortable in the left hand? Most I've tried or looked at are only comforable looking for the right.

I thought I'd be going mouse/keyboard for MechWarrior, but trying to torso twist while going back and playing older games was too complex. So I went out and bought a Saitek Cyborg-X joystick and I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

That's what I'm gonna roll with. Hopefully the control system can be fine tuned to make use of decent joysticks.

I have a saitek x45 from way back I'll try out but odds are I'll stick with my g15/g9x, hard to beat mouse/keyboard.

This game was designed for HOTAS... I remember playing MW3 and MW4 with my old force feedback sidewinder... aaahhh... good times

Keyboard and mouse - simple, quick, comfortable and familiar.

There is a Hawken branded dual stick device in development. No telling yet how well it will work with MWO, but reports say it is fully programmable outside of Hawken

I will use keyboard and mouse, I have a saitek aviator and I will try it but its not too great, if its any fun I will wait for the artemis to come out, but I want foot pedals so I will probably just get saitek footpedals + artemis.

No. This game was designed for keyboard and mouse. How it plays with joystick remains to be seen.

I hope its good i really enjoy playing Mw4 with joystick although its no where near as accurate. I fear the pvp nature of this game will require me to use the most effective option to avoid being slaughtered.

fingers crossed.

I'm gonna use my cheap *** joystick with my keyboard i think

I'm hoping to use CH Fighterstick, Throttle & Peddles (if they are supported) and keyboard during the game. Mouse for Mech configuration and menu navigation.

Saitek cyborg sticks are 100% ambidextrous and can be adjusted to fit your hand.... Have been using them since I bought the original one for MW2! Will likely upgrade to a Cyborg Evo for this

My current gaming PC is a AlienWare laptop, so I have a Razer Orochi laptop mouse. Pretty cool little guy...and the AlienWare keyboard is pretty darn good in itself.

I have a FF2 as well but wasn't sure if it would work in vista 64. Maybe I should dig it out and see if it still works.

Yup, Saitek X 52 Pro, what i'll use as well. Immersion is everything for me. And i'll practice hard to make it work against all the mouse/keyboard jocks. It was painful at first in living legends, after a while i got pretty good. I might even buy pedals for this game.

I've got a Naga also and am going to try using my X52 Pro stick for it, but it's been so long since I've played a mech game I honestly don't know which one I'll be more comfortable with.

This is the setup I use for MW4, and am very happy with it.
