Laser Mouse and keyboard, because I'm not coordinated enough to use anything fancier than that.

I really like my Logitech G9, expecially love the little rocker switch on top that lets me change the resolution of the mouse on-the-fly without any involvement of software. Very handy for switching resolutions for situations where you hop into/out-of vehicles turrets and other stuff that benefits from a higher sensitivity and the resulting increased responsiveness.

and yet, as I said already, I am stuck-in-a-rut of using something much like this one for SWBFII....

I play just fine with a Microsoft mouse from 2001, with only 3 buttons. It's pretty disgusting that people need a mouse with millions of buttons just to play a game.

Well to be honest i didnt really bought it to play SWBF2.

I needed a new mouse and it whould cost me 20-25$ for a normall stupid mouse.
So i payed 30$ for having a gamer mouse whith everything on it.

plain simple 5$ for everything is hardly disgusting...its smart and Its usefull

He he... you haven't yet experienced the power of the darkside have you?

It isn't for SWBFII, but.... I find it indispensible that I have enough buttons to map actions to my mouse for things like, knife/melee attack, open my parachute, quick weapon switching, mouse dpi adjusting, etc..... all in addition to the normal shoot/zoom functions of the normal 2 buttons.

It's just a simple Microsoft Wireless Mobile Mouse 3000. Nothing fancy. But does the job. I woulda hhad to spend an extra $20 for one I wanted more, but couldn't justify it.

Mouse and keyboard is what I go with, I do loike the mouse I have though, it has a sensitivity control which makes a good transition between a "normal" speed that I like for general play, and a slow speed for precision sniping very easily (not that it help my sniping that much, but a headshot is easier, or a long range rocket snipe ... oh how much I enjoy those ..lol)
