The only problem I find with the WME is if you have big hands or long fingers. 
I couldn't seem to hit the buttons very well.  If you can affort it (or you 
think it's worth the investment) the new Thrustmaster joysticks are great.  I 
have the F-16 FLCS & the Mark II WCS and I don't have to thouch the keyboard!  
Not even during all the option screens.  The other problem is that there is a 
bit of macro programming involed if the game isn't supported.
