I used to play with a steering wheel and pedals, but I wasn't as nimble and quick with them so I went back to the mouse.

I play with a gamepad when I have it plugged in, but I won't plug it in just to play bz.

I was, but my Joystick is a ten-pin, and I don't have any ports for that in the back of my computer. Now I have to take a trip to Walmart for a USB Joystick.
Reality is nice place to visit, but i wouldn't want to live there. :)

All keyboard, all the time here. I'd like to use this dual analog pad (Saitek P880) that my wife got me but I can't be bothered to figure out how to map it out! Used to play with a mouse until it nearly crippled my right hand.

I can't play with keyboard because the left/right/forward/backwards controls are then binary instead of analog, so all your movements are chunky and hard. I tried once but got blown out of the water. Kudos to you for even trying it like that!

My Playstation 1 analog gamepad. The original white, comfortable nobs, and easy to reach buttons. I use a USB converter so I can run it on my computer 8)
