Thx everynoe
No. I use a standard mouse and just click on the tabs and such. I did use a USB Playstation style game pad for some other games. I have a simple program that converted the buttons to keys. This game, I seldom need to touch the keyboard unless I am chatting. My 3 button wheel mouse seems to do all the work well enough.
Whatever you find easiest is the way you should play it.
Have fun!

While my trackball has a number of programmable buttons, I just use the keyboard mainly. However, I’ve considered getting a macro pad to group all the key binds tightly together.
(With either the buttons on my trackball or on your mouse, I’d probably be hitting them accidentally all the time, and especially in the heat of the moment when needing to react quickly.)
Same here.
A standard Logitech mouse, 2 buttons and a scroll wheel.
A better option is to write a “petition” or make a voting poll to add a tab for mouse shortcut commands like almost all modern games have. Let’s hope it will be implemented soon.
Just imagine binding the Alt-Ctrl-Space keyboard shortcut to the mouse G5 (forward) button and the Ctrl-Space to the mouse G4 (backward) button with ingame tools.
lulz
I know a guy who got banned for like 3 months because CCP thought LG hub was 3rd party software ( I know it is, but you know what I mean)
You gotta be careful here mate, because there is a fine line between key binds and macros. That software literally says “macros” on it.

Ooh really.
There’s a difference between in-game key binds and macros. In-game key binds should be completely ok.
I use (some) mouse key binds. Middle click to return drones to bay. Back button to attack with drones. Forward button to activate the first slot (remapped F1).
I haven’t really thought about it, but my setup could be improved.
By the way, if anyone from CCP reads this, scroll wheel side clicks can not be mapped in the game at the moment. That would be a nice thing to have.
I don’t do any maccro, I only have keybinds, I believe the names on the screenshots are miss-leading.

I have my D-Scan and PTT mapped to the side buttons on my mouse.
For every
I suggest beginning this game with reading the EULA and ToS.
