I am new to the online mech world. I did SP with Mechwarrior 3 but I used a joystick.
Is it possible to use it with mechwarrior online?
I tried re-keying but I must be missing something. Any feedback would be appreciated and thanks for the read.

Thanks for the input. There is a problem useing the stick with this game maybe its a key conflict. No worries.
Is there a way to rekey the the default ket settings to my needs? I have tryed but it just beeps...

on options you can change key mappings, do a really fast double click on the item you are after changing, then press the button you want to change it to.

the keyboard remapping os kind of a pain but in the setting you have to double click the one you want to change till it flashes then hit the key you want for that function

Main thing is stick with the mouse for targeting/firing. You won't get anywhere near the same level of performance with a stick. There are a few who have managed to make it work, but they had to become mutant cyborgs to pull it off.

It's possible but not recommended. One, MWO's controls are significantly simpler (more FPS-style instead of simulator-style complexity). Two, with joystick controls over mouse precision unless you have a zero-order joystick you simply can't compete.
That said: I use a throttle stick + mouse. All my movement under one throttle stick, all my aiming and firing under a 6 button mouse.
I use the throttle stick (left side, the C shaped side) for all movement, Hold ARM-LOCK, Independent (of torso) arm control, power, override, jumpjets, zoom
The mouse is used for voice chat, aiming, firing groups 1-4 and one button is currently unused. I'm waiting for a "taunt gesture" type command for it.
