Hey guys so I was thinking it would be awesome to get a joystick for this game just to make it that much more realistic so to speak. I've played a few flight sim combat games and I used a flight stick for some of those which really adds to the "coolness" lol. If you guys have any suggestions for a good gaming joystick leave me a link or comment. Or if you have one and plan on using it for this game let me know!

If Hawken lives up to its hype and becomes a game I play very often i may invest in a joystick. There are some pretty awesome ones out there. May have to go full Steel Battalion, if you know what I mean!

I would use an xbox controller, i am just so used to them now.

[Forsaken_Saint]

Haha damn that steel battalion set is freaking crazy! I had seen it before but i forgot about it. That would be awesome to be able to play hawken on something like that XD

Im not in the beta so I havent tried it, but ill probobly use my old ass Logitech wingman joystick from 2000ish. Never failed me in countless flight sims.

hmm, its a madkatz product so its probably gonna break, search up some reviews and remember to ask if there is a warranty or a return policy.

Has the question of gamepad support ever been answered by the devs_

[FloRidaShane]

I used to play Mech Warrior with a joystick and now I'm all nostalgic. I might have to invest in one. Does anyone even know if the game supports them_

[bluescores]

It seems like using a joystick would be akin to using an XBOX controller, which is a less-precise device for FPS-style games for most people than a good ol keyboard and mouse. Having said that, it's totally awesome in a mech game . Joystick + some good surround sound/headphones + Oculus Rift = goodbye real life.

I would so go Steel Battalion in this game if I could make room for the setup in my house but for now I'll have to go at it Virtual-On Style

I believe I heard them say in an E3 video that they will be having a full system working by release to use joysticks and possibly even gamepads. So I'm sure whatever you want to use it will be supported.

Great stick! My WMF3D is on it's last legs.
Feedback and auto-center motors are almost toast and my left twist turn can only sit at 0% or 15-85%. This baby saw a lot of intense X3 (and recently Artemis) use. RIP WMF3D, you served me well!

[Sparrow40k]

I use a 'power a pro elite wireless ps3 controller' with this setup I made myself. I made it into a pic for any one else to use

[MadMike]

I don't care how much it costs, one day it shall most definatly be mine. I'd seriously build a custom cockpit w/closed walls, w/more unessary colorful lights and w/one comfy chair just for that thing.

[Moonchild]

not since 97...

[Wulfgar7]

Sure! I love using my joystick! OH wait. This was about video games...

[Xylidya]

I would if I had a dual joystick setup. I really don't see how you can have all the axes of movement comfortably with one joystick.
