Hey ED forums I've been playing ED since beta 2 and I've been playing it on and off ever since but recently I've gotten back into the game got myself a Type 6, Cobra and about 11,000,000 Credits but I've got a question.
I have two joysticks, I have the Thrustmaster Warthog and the Thrustmaster Hotas X. In my time in ED 90% of the time I've used my Hotas X, I feel like the Warthog is slightly overkill, especially the spring inside the Warthog, its very heavy and in ED you really dont need that kind of tension inside your joystick since you are in space, also after long gaming sessions your arm starts to ache. With the Hotas X I can move it anywhere I can even put it in my lap and just lie back in my chair and feel 10x more comfortable. Although the Warthog as many many more buttons.
Comfort > Usability ?
So two questions really.
1.Which joystick do you use and post in the comments why. http://strawpoll.me/4941667
2.Is your joystick mounted onto a frame/chair etc. E.g. Not just placed on your desk. http://strawpoll.me/4941677
