While this would probably work well in CQC flying the condors and other tiny fighters that are relatively responsive to the thrusters. I would NOT recommend relying on them too much flying a Federal Corvette in a combat zone. Heavy ships aren't responsive to thrusters that much. You can't switch between forward and backward movements that fast. But yes, I do use them. I've gotten so used to my HOTAS setup in the game that maneuvering like this is not an issue. Another thing I disagree with is the aiming comparison he does between Joystick and Mouse, I rarely have to compensate that much up and down with the joystick to stay on target, with the MOUSE on the other I find I had to do that all the time. It all depends a bit on how used you are with your controls and of course the settings for sensitivity and accelerators etc you use. In the end I say it is to each their own, what you prefer. This video did not convince me M+K is better in any way, easier for most to get used to most likely. But if you have a GOOD joystick, I'm not talking cheap and unprecise sticks, you won't have any problem with the aim. If your stick drifts with 0 in dead zone, it's a shit stick. Or not calibrated, or broken. A cheap stick I do recommend for Elite is the T16000, due to the HALL effect sensors it uses. (Same as the Warthog and also has twist in the stick for yaw unlike the Warthog) If you play with no throttle or pedals with your stick, I totally recommend having thrusters set up as this guy does. Or on the numpad if you're left handed. (There are no throttles for left handed people sadly) The guy mentions another thing, freelook is hard using a mouse. Yes and no, you CAN set it to toggle on the middle muse button (You know the scroll wheel is also a button) OR there IS actually a mouse with a build in joystick! Asus Chakram. And it works in Elite without any special third party software except Asus Amory. (You need it to set the stick to analogue from just imitating the arrow keys on the keyboard) Totally recommend it. My current setup is Thrustmasters FCWS throttle paired with a VKB Gladiator NXT joystick. What I don't like with the NXT stick is that it is linear. You can clearly tell the difference on forward/back and left/right movement. Unlike the T16000 that is completely free 360 movement. In the end the T16000 is a LOT more precise while fine aiming as the NXT struggles with diagonal movement. The Warthog is the same as the T16000 as it uses the same gimball method and HALL sensors. But lacks twist functionality, meaning you can't yaw with the stick. Or roll depending what you sacrifice. I never liked Logitechs sticks they are either too slack or to unprecise. Tends to start drifting very easily too and the X56 for example requires external powered USB ports to function properly. Cheap Chinese materials and buttons. And then we have the ultra expensive overkill sticks from Virpil and VKB etc. You really need to be an enthusiast to justify those prices. So yes, in a way M+K is a lot simpler. Also a lot cheaper. But not necessary better. It's more up to the hardware and particularly the user in the end. For beginners that want a good stick especially for Elite Dangerous that won't cost you kidney, I recommend a T16000 with the FWCS throttle bundle if you can find it.

So I'm going to just say some reasons why joystick is better, ofc I'm talking about a full HOTAS setup and not the joystick on a controller. First of all you do not have to constantly re adjust, I can turn to a target and use roll pitch and yaw to stay on target. Ofc I'm talking fixed weapons in a fighter. I can use lateral thrusters while rotating and accelerating which is a massive advantage in combat, especially cqc where the ships are light. The difference is I can change all directions while still have full control but on keyboard your finger has to move to a new key and back, this is extra time and makes it tricky to quickly move round things. Ofc joystick is harder to learn but in my opinion once you learn how to use it, it's much easier. I've been using my HOTAS with elite since Oculus dk2 was released, may give you a clue as to why I use joystick and always have. I have VR and it's far easier to navigate buttons without your eyes on a joystick rather than a keyboard. This is ofc all opinions but it's also your opinion that keyboard is better, there is no one right way. Just to add tho. In warthunder I cannot use joystick at all, I'm rubbish at it so I have to use keyboard and mouse and I don't think keyboard and mouse is bad unless you are talking about SIM battles

He is basically controlling his ship like it's a first person shooter. In any other flight simulator that would be similar to flying with rudder. You don't fly with rudder. You steer with rudder when taxiing. But you're right, it's personal preference. I had to fiddle with controls myself (mostly adjusting sensitivity and inverting mouse), but other than that, the default setting is basic flight simulator control. Terribly adjusted, but still. Then again, I am the kind of person that played games like Warbirds and Air Warrior, where flying is much more finicky because of g-forces.

Thanks! :) I just need to figure out a way to cycle through the weapon configs, and cycle between the current target's subsystems, but that's small stuff I hope :D

I've got an X52 I bought several years ago but I end up using keyboard/mouse more because I just don't want to set it all up. 110% agree with you on the roll vs pitch on the mouse, first thing I changed when I started playing. Though I eventually moved all my pip management to the mouse. Scroll up for engines, scroll down for shields. and my mouse has 2 extra buttons so M4 for weapons and M5 for reset. Also left the thruster buttons in their default places, Q,E for laterals and R,F for verticals. A and D for roll. Also I left the throttle controls alone, W increases it at a certain rate and S decreases it. When I need to switch to backwards or back to forwards I just tap X to center the throttle then move it in the desired direction.

Thinking about the HOTAS, but I developed my muscle memory and I should learn to play right handed... no idea if it's worth the bill. On a side note: good joystick users do not need to make the continuous corrections you show in your video. Side side note: some of the best PVPers (and I'm not one of them :P) play flight assist off mode only. It seems you can do incredible magic that way.

I'm a mouse+keyboard guy but I still fly and shoot better with a controller. Some of your thoughts were the same as mine, and the keys themselves come naturally. The problem is pitch. It has to be inverted to feel like a ship, and NOT inverted for tracing and shooting, if you use the mouse. Well, for me it just results in thinking twice about which way to drag the mouse. Two takeaways from experimenting: 1. Thrust forward and back buttons. You need them for exactly what you show in the video. Throttle + and - is just too slow. 2. I'm going to try to assign pitch up to something, and then try to bind fine adjustment for the pitch axis to something on top of that, maybe. I might even end up with not using the mouse at all. I wish you could use it to click on things in the panels, that's what a mouse is for.

Interestingly, this is in many ways similar to my Thrustmaster 3d pro stick and keyboard setup. I got yaw on x-axis for precise fire with fixed weapons, and put the roll on the twist (no accuracy required). I got lateral and vertical thrust on WASD, forward/reverse thrust on shift/control and the boost on space. Throttle is on QE and full stop on X. In combat I got the throttle preset in the blue zone 95% of the time and simply override it with full forward/reverse thrust, and the second I let go the throttle snaps back into the blue zone. I guess one advantage of my setup is that it's easier to combine roll, lateral thrust and vertical thrust all at the same time without ever moving my fingers off of my thrust keys. Of course, I can't use shift-WASD for power settings, so I do have to move my fingers to deal with power settings, which is a drawback. I never was much use with the kind of mouse control that E:D has, so the setup I worked out works brilliantly for me. It's also very comfy to fly on at all times when not in combat.

Additionally, I'm about to start playing this game with the logitech G600, the MMO mouse which adds so many more accessible buttons. Maybe consider trying that out too in order to see how that might spice things up.

Using the Shift keys for PIPS is what I need. I've been using CTRL for crouch but will definitely look into using the C Key. Thanks for sharing the mouse setup, similar to mine, just need a few tweaks to test. I use Middle Mouse Button for Head-look, give it a try. Thanks for the Vid man, I really hope to get my space legs in this game, the CQB looks like way too much fun and I can't wait to refine my KB/M setup.

hello, good vid i just begin elite dangerous. i'm wondering you are using S, W to move forward and backward ,does it means you never use the propulsion contrôls ?, and always keep the W key pressed as long as you want to move forward. and what about flight assist on/off, in your vidéo you are using flight assist Off ; or ON ? i wished a little more détails for the newbie i am ;) PS: many thanks for your keyborad layout !

I'm a K+M user too, I use a Logitech G502 that has plenty of buttons where I have binded all my thrusters, so I have more freedom and more fingers to it.. well done sir! PS: as much as I love K+M, I want a hotas anyways because of VR inmersion

This is a super good set up for K+M piloting, but personally I use a dual stick setup with analog input and its as smooth as butter. Although it does take a ton of practice, but that's just ED in a whole.

your controls sound nice but you can only move 3 axis at the same time you cant move 5 axis at the same time like you can with a dual stick. As someone that played HALO:PC for 11 years... keyboard and mouse is okay in ED but a flight assist off dual joystick is superior.

yeah no, I dont get where you think with a joystick you'd be jittery when tracking a target, Maybe if you really ain't good at it sure. Otherwise if you know how to actually handle a joystick when have your settings right you wouldn't y'know, suck as bad as you apparently do with one,. Just "my opinion" though.this game is FAR better with a joystick and throttle than a keyboard and mouse.

Do you use FA off? Have you a problem with aiming fixed weapon? I saw peaople using railguns and do crazy hits with crazy speed, doing crazy movements. I wonder is there any way to do the same with mouse and keyboard.

Love it as I'm just starting with this kind of game without a joystick. Would you make a 2022 / Horizons update?

Keyboard+Mouse is better for Elite: Dangerous? It all depends on the person. For some KB+M is uncomfortable and a wear and tear on the wrist. Controller is no better, wear and tear on finger joint, not as accurate and having to lift your fingers to press another button. It's all who's comfortable with what dude.

I know this is a big ask, but would it be possible to screenshot all the control settings - there are so many it's hard as a newbie to comprehend how to do things. I can't even see how you deploy / undeploy weapons from the keyboard layout, and I don't think there's anything about the FSS (?) or planetary probes covered. Thanks !

I sold my hotas 1.5 years ago and dropped playing elite. I could never get used to fighting with it and so I gave up. I got back into the game due to Odyssey and I tried to use keyboard and mouse…OMG, everything is so much easier and feels so natural!!!

It's bloody good for tiny ships that responds to your input in split seconds, but for Anaconda and Type-9/10? Debatable at best.

Nope i played elite on keyboard for a year and changed to a joystick few months ago and joystick is much much better. If you got a shit joystick with no throttle and barely any buttons i might agree with you.

I bought a Saitek joystick, throttle and pedals especially for Elite then found out the mouse and keyboard works better. Oh, well, at least it looks cool, just sitting there.

How did you do the thing where you hold down w for 100% throttle and it goes to zero when you let go?

Hey thanks for the setup cause I really didn't like the default however now that I have thrusters bound to wasd and throttle bound to mouse wheel I can't use my wasd thrusters. Maze or someone please fucking help me as I am frustrated as fuck. I've been trying to get my thrusters to work for literally hours now and it still doesn't work with throttle but I need throttle for super/hyper. What do I need to configure so my thrusters are not glitching out?

These are very close to the controls I was setting up earlier, all based around Descent controls. Glad to see someone put in the thought and work already so that I don't have to spend as much time tweaking for my comfort in the end. Great vid!
