Favorite Input Devices?

[Lelapinmechant]

Just wondering, what's your preffered input device for WC games? Joystick? Keyboard? Keyboard and Mouse? Gamepad?

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Why, the Sega MegaMouse, of course.

Microsoft Sidewinder Precision. None of that silly Force Feedback crap for me.

 

[Ghost]

Cheap 2-Button Quickshot.

 

[Mekt-Hakkikt]

Any working non-digital joystick.

my keyboard.... works just fine... i don't need to pretend i'm a pilot at my computer

 

[KrisV]

The Prophecy keyboard cover, obviously.

 

[Wildshot]

Logitech Winman Extreme. I've tried keyboard, mouse and joystick and it just works better with a joystick.

In fact most space sims reccomend you use a joystick now.

 

[Wedge009]

Go keyboards. Yes, I know I've said it before, but just look at the Privateer cockpits.

 

[Loozer]

Long Live!!! Keyboards!!

microsoft sidewinder force feedback 2! you can't go wrong with it and in force feedback enabled games it rules.

 

[TC]

isn't that a digital stick?

 

[Manic]

Yes, yes it is. I love it.
However, I also use my trusty Thrustmaster for DOS games... nothing beats that 15-dollar POS for getting through a good game, if only once or twice through before it breaks...

 

[Darkmage]

yes it is digital, then again I have gotten every WC game to run in windows except wc armada....

Best control? <g>
That would be the CH Force FX (with FF Emulation for old games), a CH Pro Throttle, CH Pro Pedals and GameCommander2 for communication (it is soooo cool to say "Attack my Target" instead of typing ALT+A).
For full nerddom I could also include my Elsa Revelator Shutterglasses in WCP, but they are a pain if for the eyes if you plan to play for longer.

 

[Manic]

I use the Microsoft Voice Command myself, GameCommander any good?

hey how do you get the old WC's to run properly under winD?
I'm a wingman extreme digital man myself

 

[Wildshot]

The original Wingman Extreme design is such a sturdy model. I used it for years.

I've never heard anyone say a single bad thing about it......except the lefites.

Wow I thought I was the only one who actually bought a CH Force FX...I don't even remember how much I paid for it, but I'm sure it was a bunch.

Simple. I have 1-3 in Kilrathi saga, privateer in virtualpc and wc4 uses the win9x patch. academy can run in windows normally and I have privateer 2 deluxe.
