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.
