Poll: What controller do you use when playing FreeSpace?

Ahh...kind of a poll here. So, what type of controller do you use for playing FS1/FS2?

A. Keyboard/Mouse
B. Joystick(Please specify)
C. Other controller, etc.(Please specify)

Oh, and also, do you think this controller would be good for FreeSpace? I saw this at WalMart for about 9 bucks, and I was wondering if it could be a good one. There's not too much info on it though...

Sidewinder Precision Pro, or a Logitech Wingman Digital 3D Extreme (or whatever the hell they call it) ... there's a reason fighter pilots don't use mice!

Keyboard! I barely hit a Lucifer/Sathanas (depending on game) with the jokstick.

I used the keyboard/mouse once. Then I started using my Logitech Wingman Extreme Digital 3D and have never looked back.

8 year old Wingman Extreme. Although the trigger is getting a bit dodgy.

Good old generic two-button, three-axis joystick. It's starting to wear out, as a matter of fact - occasionally it doesn't respond when I move the stick. I'm getting a new one for Christmas, but that's a long time to wait...

Keybaord. Default config. I love hitting the TAB key and ramming the baddies. Unfortunately, I've completely worn the '2' of my num pad.

Oh, and I had a joystick once that was so bad you had to hold the trigger for 7 seconds (I counted) to fire ONE SHOT! Fun, eh?

CH F-16 Flightstick. Sturdy, big, rough and simple. I have tried with keyboard and with mouse, but ... forget it. Dogfighting with a decent joystick is better than average sex or relieving yourself.
