Anybody that doesn't know, a game pad is like a PS2 controller. Mine has the same buttons as a PS2 controller in the same places. It is exceptionally easy to fly, at least to me.

that is why they made the 360 controller and if I had one that worked with windows xp, well, flying would be my joy...

I use the Saitek PS2500 for all my flight needs. It's almost exactly like an x-box controller and I love it. It's extremely responsive.

As we discovered today...If Experiment doesn't have his joystick plugged in..., we DON'T fly

We fall.

keyboard all the way!!! its so hard to do those upside down loops with a mouse, i like that you can hold down a key indefinitely, not like the mouse when you have to drag it back sometimes!

I am with you there.

I have no clue how some of you do those maneuvers with the different set ups.

A old DELL stock keyboard and a Rolling ball HP Mouse .

I'm too broke to buy gaming stuff. I have to say though laser mouses are a lot nicer but can't find a comfortable one.

$20 for the Logitech game pad I use. If you're into that kinda thing.

Usually I teach Charizard fly, but a Pidgy will work. Whoops. No more vintage Pokemon battles on the band bus!

I use a wireless Logitech joystick.
