Let's talk about controls, the first time I played KSP I used keyboard and mouse controls. This is perfectly doable, but stuff like the throttle control moves a step per press, so finding just the right balance of thrust can be tricky. At some point I got a HOTAS to play Elite: Dangerous and realized KSP picked up on the joystick half, which looks like this (Thrustmaster T.16000 joystick)

It has a small throttle control slider at the bottom middle (plus a ton of buttons, 6 on each side of the joystick plus what's on the stick itself) and I found landing on Mun was a hell of a lot easier when I had access to that throttle slider because I can control the throttle ramping much more precisely than with the keyboard throttle controls. Now I will only play with it lol it's great

I picked up a ThrustMaster HOTAS for ED a couple years back as well, great to know its useful in KSP!


Best of luck to SpaceX, I hope they nail it with the new design.
