Please share your experiences on different types (eg. mouse vs keyboard), brands (eg. Saitek vs Logitech) and technologies (eg. optical vs ball mouse).

Tank you!
I am on a laptop with a trackpad, so there goes the mouse thing... I'm too cheap to buy a joystick, so I just use the built-in keyboard on my Dell Inspiron 600m. Sure the keyboard's not the most precise thing to play with, but in bzflag, being precise has never really been required... and if you do need it, you can hit the 'a' key.

I use the keyboard. I don't know why. I just started, and got better at it. Now I think I should have used the mouse more.
I never make stupid mistakes. Only very, very clever ones.
It is not the fall that kills you. It's the sudden stop at the end.
Always remember you are unique. Just like everybody else.
I mostly use the mouse, but sometimes I bring out my gamepad.
The only advantage i have on my gamepad is that I can pull machine-gun-like shots without any cheats or button-press-repeater-thingies. the downside is that it isn't very accurate, so I usually use the mouse.

I'm thinking I need a better sig than this...

I have a gamepad, though I don't use it on BZFlag because it dosen't work correctly. It works fine for other games I play, though :/
It's a Logitech Dual Action or something like that.
So, I always use the mouse. I have an external mouse for my laptop, though I do use the trackpad every hundred years or so. If my driving looks like I filled up my tank's gas tank with booze, then I'm probably using my trackpad
