    That was the problem I had using vr for Elite: Dangerous and Star Wars: Squadrons. Awesome looking in vr, but impossible if you needed to use any keyboard controls.

      ED was almost entirely workable with an X-Box controller. You could probably have a good time with two joysticks with a ton of buttons and a rudder pedal.

      But the damn problem is memorizing all the controls.

      Edit: Also you could use voice activated commands, but setting everything up was a like a hobby in itself.

        Yeah, E:D was workable with a controller, but cumbersome.

        I’ve toyed with the idea of getting a HOTAS set-up, but now I’ve hard-mounted my wheel that’s a bit less feasible.

          Hm. There are ways, I’m sure.

          I sat on a board and velcroed my joystick to it before I made a bracket under the seat to slide the board into…

          You can also recruit your pedals as inputs, if you’ve got 'em.
