I'd like to know, which input device(s) you use for your games. Which mouse, gamepad, joystick, steering wheel, etc...

I use a Logitech MX500, a SideWinder Gamepad, A Thrustmaster steering wheel and a modified Dreamcast arcade stick (with USB-plug).

Though archaic, a simple mouse and keyboard does me just fine ;P

That's what I have the Dreamcast arcadestick for. Just a little more arcade-feeling. Planning to build a MAME cabinet in the near future, too.

Mate of mine did that, bought an old second hand cabinet, had a soccer game in it.
Ripped the guts out and put a PC with Mame etc in it instead, it totally rocked :D

For first person shooters I use the standard Keyboard and mouse. I'm unstoppable with that combination *diablo*. And for Flight/Space sims I use my trusty Logitech Wingman Warrior.
