CH yoke, home built rudder pedals (very basic) and home built switch panel made from hacked keyboard. I don't reccommend hacking a keyboard, there are better ways to do this. ;)

I use a Saitek Cyborg-what-do-you-call-it-thingy.

So, in short, a joystick. :D

What about Joystick and Pedals?

I've got a Cougar and the CH pedals.  My little back to school gift for myself, otherwise I would be doing homework all the time, and who has time for that? ;D ;)

I use a very old Saitek Cyborg 2000 I got years ago (from before joysticks used USB connectors). I used the keyboard for the longest time after thinking that the joystick was too old to work. Eventually I hooked it up and found that it worked fine, and I've been using it ever since.

It's huge, heavy, and doesn't have a twist-grip, but it still works perfectly after all these years, and I really have no interest in buying a new one.
