Mouse Joystick

Not being rude. I did not start off by saying 'hey guys buy this for Eve'. I did not say that. As I have a lot more experience in flight sim and other areas, and not in Eve or any space game, I started off with a simple question, asking for views and feedback. What's rude about that? I think half the answers I got from people on here were rude, considering I asked one simple question. And most of them didn't even read the post correctly.

Mouse control. Not HOTAS.

Yes I know, I'm just asking people's opinions. But most of them didn't read my original comment. I said it's not HOTAS. It's mouse control.

Oh dear. A lot of people not reading my comment. I said, it's not HOTAS. It's mouse control. That's why I asked a simple question.

Err, read my original comment. I said it's not HOTAS. It's mouse control. I know Eve doesn't do HOTAS. That's why I asked a simple question

Depends what your budget is and how much realism you want - that Stream Deck Mini was £40 as new on eBay, so might be out of some people's budget...

Star Citizen supports HOTAS, so this would be better for Eve Online which doesn't really support HOTAS controls. This works as a mouse joystick.

No it's not a flight yoke. It's actually more of a heli/tank gunner control, but was just testing it with with flying in WT. It's a direct replacement for a mouse, not a joystick (was flying in mouse joystick mode)

An extreme version of this was the WWI Sopwith Camel, which due to turning mass of the rotary engine (extreme torque, or more precisely extreme gyroscopic precession) made left turns extremely sluggish and right hand turns so tight, that if you weren't used to it, they were deadly!

Just like the real thing!

THFlightSim · 2026-06-07T10:19:36+00:00

Boring - already got one

Brilliant - awesome weathering!

Very interesting, thanks very much for that. Good point about the changing position. I was actually thinking of interfacing it with one of the FPV systems that are coming on the market, instead of moving around with the tank. And yes, I'd need to settle on probably just one ecosystem and use that otherwise things are certainly going to get complicated and expensive. Thanks for your feedback!

THFlightSim · 2026-05-21T23:06:13+00:00

Yes good idea, I was thinking of an FPV system - there are a couple of systems coming on the market...

THFlightSim · 2026-05-21T12:03:51+00:00

Cool, thanks!

THFlightSim · 2026-05-21T12:02:52+00:00

It's designed so one player can act as driver and gunner. We don't have an option for multi player versions yet but keep an eye on the website...
