Rocks'n'Diamonds

I only play with keyboard (and mouse if it would be needed in any future).

I don't have a pc joystick, not that I would use it anyway.

Same deal here.

One of my friend has a joystick, I tried it and it;s sometimes buggy.
so I'd rather use a keyboard then a joystick, not both...
You know whick one I voted, do you?

Umg, if Holger would see that...

I stopped using gamepads/joysticks a long time ago..

I do have a Gravis Pro gamepad that looks like a PSX1 controller.... but it's absolutely useless for R&D (it's good for a 2 player Liero game though).

I still have an Atari VCS joystick somewhere, not sure what type of plastic & rubber it uses, but its totally indestructable!

I think it will outlive me.

Me too/me three...

Joy... pad

But when I'm testing two-player levels I'm used to move both players with both hands on the keyboard

Although I prefer the keyboard most of the time, I sometimes like to use a joystick, because I played the old classics (BD and EM) with a joystick. But the main problem here is that PC joysticks are analog joysticks in most cases (never really tried joypads, which are digital), which are way too unprecise for BD style games. But if you can get a *good* digital PC joystick (like a classic CompetitionPro), it's very precise and a lot of fun (and you can sit back in your arm chair while playing ;-) ).

key...board? not the one that has reals keys that opens the door for you. jk

KEYBOARD!
And sometimes JoyPAD

Ditto. I have my friend play on the pad, and me on the keyboard. I'm real handy with it. We play games where we try to kill each other!

I prefer a keyboard. A joystick is much too irritating!

Its confusing for me because I own an xbox, and its really hard to shift from computer t xbox. I think that the xbox controller is the same as the keyboard.

i got a ps2 style gamepad that can switch between analog and digital mode. i always use digital mode for RnD, havent tried the game in analog mode ever.
i used to hate gamepads, but now i find them more useful for certain types of games then keyboard (nfsu2 on keyboard? yuck... thps? same story). the only gametype that i wont ever use a gamepad is 3d shooters. its just really hard to aim with those things. i used to be one of those im-l33t-cause-i-play-with-keyboard kinda guys, but now i'm thinking of buying a console
i couldnt vote for the poll, being guest, but needless to say, i wouldve voted joystick here.
