Old as balls and filthy HP keyboard from at least 1994 that still has all the resounding perfect clack from the day it was made, and a logitech g500s for pointin at stuff.  I don't even have a big mousepad and I keep forgetting to get one.

Logitech g700 (bought for other games), standard keyboard and mousepad. Movement, dodge, boost, spot enemy and repair on keyboard, other stuff on mouse.

Ooooh yay, someone else that uses joysticks, though I use two, do to ease on carpel tunnel related issues, though I never did like the saiteks and went dual thrustmaster hotas warthogs instead.

 

 

I chose this Saitek for two very good reasons.

 

1) it is ambidextrous and I intended using it left handed. Most* joysticks are moulded for right hand use only.

2) It has enough programmable buttons that I can play without taking my hand off the controls (excluding chat typing).

 

I still use mouse right handed for aiming. Aiming with a joystick would be super fuzzy bunny.

Skrub here.

 

I use a logitech g13 game pad and the thumb joystick mapped to wasd for movement.  Also the tracking on the Logitech g502 mouse is splendid.

 

I hot key my secondary to fire with what would normally be the d button on a keyboard on the game pad to keep the mouse steady.   I've found it helps immensely.

I ordered both of mine direct from Thrustmaster, and explained the use and they were more than happy to customize one for left hand use while leaving the other for right hand use. Though I got some nerve damage in my right hand so keeping that hand steady is hard to do which makes mouse play far more diffcult for aiming, where as the stick makes is much much easier since I can set a deadzone for inputs.

doesn't have deadzone, but if you just needed a different grip, this funky near-joystick-shaped mouse by 3M would have you covered...
 
feels like a joystick, works as a mouse.

i use a cheap logitech joystick!

its fun to use albiat its not viable at all and if you care about kdr or mmr then stay clear away unless you can fully master a dual joystick setup/hotas for them xD

The same stuff I use for work. 

Apple keyboard and Razer Death Adder.

I recently tried my old n52te, predecessor of the tartarus, but i could get used to it, felt horrible.
