What do you use to control your ship?

Post by ol_bill »

Just wondered what people use to control their ships on the void, I've been hunting for the best controller but always go back to my trackman mouse

I use a saitek gm3 programmable pad and my old packard bell optical mouse....for some reason I just can't play FL with a keyboard and I find it much easier to program the buttons on the pad.
