Welcome!! Just the demo but there is a ton to learn in there! I've been running the demo scenarios for 2 weeks and still learning stuff!

Get a joystick.

Thrustmaster T-Flight Hotas X or Saitek X52 Pro.

Once you go joystick, you'll never go back.

It depends how much you have to spend. Check out the Thrustmaster or any of the expensive Hotas out there. Do a search to see what people are using.

Yes get a Joystick and preferably with Throttle aswell. I have a Thrustmaster HOTAS and its great. Well made and very good for the price £34. Awesome.

Oh and welcome to ELITE Dangerous pilot!

Consider downloading Voice Attack as well if you play in a quiet area.. helps a lot to be able to just tell your ship what to do.
And get practice in on those single player missions.. they're pretty good

I had a Thrustmaster and it broke, but it was good for the price.

I now have CH fighterstick, throttle and pedals and couldn't be happier with them.

You wont necessarily *need* a HOTAS to play/be good at the game. I've been doing the tutorials with a Logitech Extreme 3D Pro, and when I can finally get into the actual game, I'm gonna put my G13 to work.

I am way better at dogfighting with a joystick than I was using kb&m, but everyone else plays it differently.

Voice attack?realy??

 

[MatuX]

I've a Saitek X55, it completely changes the experience. And even if somehow mouse/keyb would give me an edge, I wouldn't even consider playing with anything else than a stick of joy. Unless somebody steals it and I don't have money to buy another one...

X52 Pro. Can't go wrong with that, seems a LOT of elite players use them, especially the Oculus lot as it's almost identical to what's in your hands in-game.

Frontier Development even had a special deal selling them, so that's a seal of approval.

I have NOT regretted forking out for one as soon as I started playing Elite Dangerous.
