I've got X52 Pro 2 weeks ago. I get used to it by now, and it is really great for combat and immersion.

But I still do some trade or other slow paced activity with M/K.
 
I've been on a gamepad the whole time and loved it, then windows 10 came along and borked my PS4 controller use with PC so I am painfully learning on a T flight HOTAS, it is going okay, much better than my attempt with the unwieldy X55.
 
Due to a lack of funds for a decent joystick or hotas, and a disdain for this game's mouse and keyboard controls, I'm using a Xbox 360 control for now. It doesn't have enough buttons to do everything I need, but it serves well enough.
 
Mouse and keyboard here. Not because of a lack of funds even; I just really like the control a mouse gives you.
Only the immersion factor makes me think about getting a Hotas now and again, but then I'd really have to learn how to play all over again. Especially since I have never used a joystick for any game before.

I believe the mouse and keyboard controls to be really good for this game its worked perfectly well for me before I bought HoTaS

Pre 2010 Saitek X52 - the ones before Saitek quality control went downhill. Was contemplating a Warthog but no twist, so need pedals. Hopefully going HTC Vive before too long!
 
Been using an Xbox360 controller.

Got the cheap thrustmaster hotas yesterday and tried it in flight training. Found it.... lacking.
 
I use a Thrustmaster T-16000m and keyboard. I buy and tried a gametrix ecs throttle, but for me keyboard seems more versatile than a dedicated throttle.
 
Got an x52 but don't/can't use it since i play on a 55" 4k tv while sat in an x-rocker gaming chair. If you've ever seen these type of gaming chair, There's just nowhere thats feasible to mount a HOTAS. So its a wireless 360 controller for me, works well enough. Just wish ms would hurry up and release a PC version of the xb1 elite controller.
