What do you play KSP with?

[Cal'Mihe]

Joystick, having that extra granularity in the control is a very good thing!

For a demo I did today, high end laptop connected to a 40 inch LED TV via HDMI cable. Most of the kids are familiar with using FPS keyboard commands for steering rockets into orbit.

Love it already.

Got myself an extra PS3 controller the other day and it turns out it works on my laptop w/o special drivers (plus it has offset joysticks like the 360 so it feels odd at first but I do like it). I've been using it for planes as well as rockets and already love it for playing FSX. Small issue with the configuration of the joystick though: the # of the buttons are clipped off so I can't recall what's been assigned when I look at the input screen.

Mouse, keyboard, 6-pack of fave suds.

Mouse and... trackpad. That's right, MacBook Pro FTW!

The keyboard and mouse.

I really wonder if any other device would be better, since the space planes are as controllable as a large truck with lead wheels or spastic cats.

You mean a large truck with wet soap wheels. That's what it feels like in a flameout spin.

I've got a full Saitek X52 HOTAS set-up with programmable stick, throttle, and rudder pedals. I've got special mounts for the various components all around my desk, to create a virtual cockpit. But that's for serious flightsims. KSP only needs mouse, keyboard, and alcohol.
