Won't work. The only way you could do that would be through external programs and they increase input latency.
Do you have a decent keyboard at least? |

I have a garden variety kb. I'm looking at these speed pad devices. Might work, but I would have to sample one.
Surprised to hear about latency being an issue. I thought these Saitek, Mad Katz HOTUS setups were GTG. |

I couldn't play many of the games I play without one:

For "Elite: Dangerous", "Star Citizen", etc., it seems like the Saitek x52 Pro has become the controller template for the various developers of these next-gen flight sims. I'd almost bet that the Xbox elite controller would work, too. |

I'd almost bet that the Xbox elite controller would work, too. I may go for a HOTAS like the Saitek. I am currently using a Logitech Extreme 3D pro in the right hand, keyboard on the left. Works all right, but the throttle isn't as precise and there is a lot of moving about on the keyboard. Maybe instead of investing $60 on a game pad, I'll just dime up for the HOTAS. I am a Star Citizen backer, too, so I'll wager I will get the use out of it. |

Could you hold an XBOX controller in your left hand and the mouse in your right?
Would be cumbersome reaching all the buttons though... |

I thought these Saitek, Mad Katz HOTUS setups were GTG. Normal keyboard will work. As long as your fingers can reach the WASD + QERFG + 1234 keys you should be find. A good mouse is more important in my opinion. For flight sims joysticks are better. For platformers game pad is better. For racing sims car whell controller are better. |
