A discussion on r/EliteDangerous highlights a common player dilemma: whether to fully switch to mouse and keyboard controls or continue using a partially functional controller setup. One player enjoys flying with a controller but finds menu navigation and shortcut memorization easier on PC. Conversely, flying with a mouse feels unsatisfactory, and specialized hardware like HOTAS is currently unaffordable. This debate underscores ongoing challenges in input device support and accessibility within Elite Dangerous, affecting player experience and control preferences.
- Controller preferred for flying but struggles with menus.
- Mouse easier for navigation but less satisfying for flight.
