how well does it compare to flying with a controller? do you consider it easier or any aspect of it to be more desirable such as aiming?
do you feel like you have more control over you vehicle?
I am considering switching to KB/M what would you recommend buying as far as the compatible devices go, would a gaming pad be better then the keyboard? and with or without a joystick?

I know when driving Tanks its better because you are slightly faster than the Tanker who is using a controller.

You aren't going to get some kind of an edge with any peripherals, if that's what you're looking for. DS is very cut and dry, a basic controller will handle any function you could hope to achieve with a DS.
If for some reason you're just intent on / more comfortable with MKB then go for it, but otherwise, you're wasting your time and money. Also while I don't know this firsthand, I've heard that flying with MKB is a nightmare, and that was before a lot of support was dropped and AV got buffed while DS got nerfed.

You'll most likely be the first ever successful Pilot to use MKB If you go through with it..

This is going to come with some controversy so I have a disclaimer at the end which must be read before taking this statement into consideration.
Dust is 100% unplayable with KB/M unless you are using GiMX. Only once you have tried it will you see what I am talking about.
Disclaimer:
While I have toyed with scripting in GiMX which would constitute a breach of the EULA I found it to be not fun at all and good for nothing but proving that turbo controllers only provide a slight advantage overall. I use GiMX to play Dust just because it gets rid of the horrible M/KB programming which is built in and actually makes the game fun to play on M/KB.

I am curious, i have seen piloting that can only done with a mouse and keyboard. Clunky, sure, but satying rock still and killing a installation at a perfect angle at high alt is near impossible with a controller, because the target retcicule moves of its own volition. I saw it, but never tried myself.
The controller allows way more finesse in maneuverablity. Its easy to see how the keyboard gives you much more accuarcy.

You can open and close bay doors with a controller too. It's the X button.
You can't handle all this synergy.

yeah this is what I am looking for I'll probably stick to controller for dog fighting and such but I need to be able to control it with more precision to get the most out of it if possible, and I am very comfortable using either but I'd just prefer to have the option to use both
I want to hear from some experienced pilots to see what their thoughts are so far it seems not many actual pilots have been responding but any insight is good I'll end up buying a new KB/M set possibly a game pad just wanted to know what I am getting myself into ahead of time so I don't have to figure everything out on my own

being able to aim well while controlling the drop ship with precision is what I am looking for this can be done on a controller but the way things work are wacky and you need to do some risky maneuvers at times if you make a small miscalculation
being able to use one hand for control while I use the other to aim and fire with precision at least more then a joystick can provide given that the mouse works better? such as is the case with a sniper rifle or so I have heard
if anyone can confirm this or knows someone with more insight I'd appreciate the info

I do that all the time. Freaks my gunners out.
But to the OP, vehicles in general are pretty dodgy on KB/M, but certainly playable. I'm not sure you'll find much of an improvement from the controller, but it might help if that's the layout you are accustomed to.

cant be as bad as the PS move controls are, I'm not overall looking for improvements I'm just wondering how precise it is compared to controllers
holding a controller for long periods puts some strain on my wrist and as I tend to play an extended amount of dust daily KB/M would be much easier for me to use as I am already accustomed to PC gaming and if dust was on PC I would rather play it there then on a console
I can also click faster and be more precise with a mouse so I'm kinda looking forward to OP double tap mouse clicks, as I have accustomed myself to, very useful for using semi auto weaponry I would imagine
the biggest concern is the aiming precision on a mouse if its worse then a controller then there's no point in me using it to pilot an assault drop ship, the main use would be to hover around killing ground targets while I would stick to using a controller for aerial dog fights till I can accustom myself to all the maneuvers I am used to doing with a controller

The only viable M/KB setup is a GIMX or XIm. You have to emulate the controller for it to be viable.
Or you have to hate yourself and not care.

Flying is like driving.
You use controllers for that because m/kb just doesn't fit.

Flying a dropship is the only thing i don't use my keyboard and mouse for, the way the ship is controlled is just not suited to it.
