Hey guys,

Just wondering cause my joystick is out of order for a couple of weeks, and I'm thinking of trying out mouse. Please comment and say and advantages or disadvantages, experiences with each.

you really need a custom keymap when playing with mouse + keyboard.

the academy has one, there is one in my blog (click sig), or you can make your own

If the numbers are close to equal I really think we should have a Mouse Vs Joystick zone game soon.. I've been wanting a showdown for some time.

Hai

I use both Joystick and a Mouse, mouse I started playing with, the stick I picked up because Aarm and Orion used them. I aim a little better with my mouse, but I can evade a little better with my stick. It should be noted that it takes months to completely get used to using a stick, or from going from a stick to a mouse.

I used Joystick since beta. Back before I stopped playing over a year ago I was trying to start using a combination of keyboard/mouse and joystick. I'll probably be back in game in like 2 weeks so maybe I'll try that again.
