Same here, but the last time I played Descent it was with a full Thrustmaster setup including throttle, pedals and CrystalEyes 3D shutter glasses on a 19" monitor... Good times... lots of headaches.. but good times.
I still play Descent and variants with a keyboard. I also change my fps keybindings in other games to match closely to the aqze vs. the typical default wasd layouts
