Logitech MX Laser and Nostromo Speed pad N52.
The nostromo is like using the left side of your keyboard, but with some joystick qualities like the D pad for thrusting, throttle control, and mostly ergodynamics. Its really comfortable to use and you can create macros on it like Unload shields and missiles then cloak.

I am using the Saitek X52...also macro friendly. Hard to complain about 35 buttons all designed to be at ur fingertips. Everyone has their thing!

How is that working out for you? I'll confess I created my account sometime last year, but I got so confussled by trying to remember which key and having to use both hands (I'm an old school typer, if its past where my left hand rows end on the kb, I can't find it w/o the right hand). So I decide I'm going to play again, but I start looking around for flight controllers cuz I wanna play some flight sims too. I saw the X52 and fell in love, but I'm gonna build a much better gaming rig before sinking the money into the controller. they'll probably have the x52 pro out by then, but I don't know if there's any added benefit from it over the regular x52. Anyways, your thoughts and reviews on it would be greatly appreciated.

Seroiusly: use a decent mouse (like Logitech G5 /wub.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":iluv:" border="0" alt="wub.gif" /> ) and get used to using keyboard with left hand only. Give it time and it'll work out just fine.

A friend of mine is using an X52 for Mech Warrior purposes. I've tried it and it's a good buy. I'm still using an X45 which I've had for years and it's still treating me well. The programming is nice, but I still use a keyboard and mouse for non-flight tasks.
