Personally I will be all joystick all the time, regardless if I would be better with the mouse.

Have a joystick + HOTAS I got for this game specifically (and haven't been able to use yet - awaiting lucky beta draw or Founders day). However, for precise aiming - when sniping, for example - I plan to have my mouse handy; just to the right of the joystick, most likely.

My keyboard will be off the desk, probably on the slide-out tray underneath. I don't expect to need it in combat... but we will have to see how it all plays out in the end.

I think i will play with the mouse and Keyboard in the start.

Then i will probably buy a joystick to see how it feels. =)

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but it looks really interesting. I tend to stay away from Razer though, I've had nothing but problems with all their gear outside of headphones.

I've got a Saitek Pro joystick complete with software all ready to go waiting on founders day or a lucky beta break. Wouldn't be to excited about the razer artemis setup, I've already heard bad things about it with the biggest screaming of all going on about the price tag.

First before going on my superiority rant, Let me just say that for mech warrior a joystick is much more convenient than a mouse and keyboard.

however with that said I believe my all time favorite, the mouse and keyboard will be in terms of precision and freedom of motion, the uncontestable best.

Xbox360 controller + keyboard initially then maybe a dedicated high performance joystick if I get sucked into a dedicated clan.

While I support the joystick for realism crowd, I'll be using the tried and true keyboard and gamer mouse. Joysticks can't touch a high res laser mouse for fine accuracy sadly.
