I was a stick player (still am in Zone), but I switched to d-pad because I couldn't be consistent
with it, although when I was, I did great laps, the stick offers many advantages such as precision,
and gives you the feeling that you're actually piloting a ship, not just pushing buttons ...

I would love to use it again but I'm right handed and SL please allow us to use the right stick,
and to remap every button (including the 4 directions of the d-pad) to a function, and also
to assign a function to several buttons (that way I could switch from 1 method to another
in-game), that would be perfect
