anyone use a joystick? i figure it might help me solve my control issue and all. but i dont know which would be good. there are some plain and some with throttle controls.

ideas?

I've used a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro for many years. Plenty of buttons, good action, reasonable price.

When I do play oolite, it's on linux. I used to use a Logitech Wingman but switched to a Logitech dual action gamepad some time ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1zeBaASgXE

Setting it up in linux is fairly easy and I like having every control I need under a finger or a thumb.

Cheers.

Maybe that's just me, but I didn't manage to synchronize my rotation with stations until I got a joystick. Saitek X52.

I bought this one (in other shop) and it is really good (and really expensive too)

and special keypad for left hand. But I still would like more buttons and controls, so maybe I will create my own programmable keypad based on AVR or another microcontroller (with LEDs indicating actions and modes, many modes selectable for fight, flight, navigation and such) (well if I can trade computers by tons in Oolite, why I should not equip my ship with few too? )
