I got the same. I had the earlier version until it broke and its a good joystick for it's price. I might have small issues regarding the sensitivity of the joystick but its a solid piece.

I wish my pc had a usable port for my old microsoft sidewinder, but sadly it doesnt. I'll be stuck with the ol' mouse and keyboard for a while.

Have you checked to see if an adaptor can be had?

My basic backlit keyboard and crummy RAT3 mouse. It's been working for me I'll stick to it, plus less clutter I have no place to put anything in my tiny room...

Whilst I suffer from "all my vices are devices" like a lot of sim'ers, I will be playing this with keyboard and mouse. I've already set up MW4 with what I expect to be similar controls, and am getting used to it in preparation.

BUT I do have a saitek X-52, HOTAS and rudder pedals, as well as Track IR, so who knows, I might decide to try it whole hog too. It's just a lot of gear to lug around, and I travel a lot for work.

I played mechwarrior 4 with the Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback flight stick. I had a hard time as the torso twist was too sensitive and aiming was not that great.

I am going to try the keyboard and mouse for this game and see how it goes.

I'll be using my Thrustmaster Top Gun Fox 2 Pro joystick and keyboard. May look into a custom key controller like a nostromo.
