Elite Dangerous: HOGAS (Hands on Gameboard and Stick)

One of the most universal and probably the most easy-to-adapt setting would be using the gameboard/keypad along with the joystick. Such combination resolves the need for using the keyboard and getting your hands of the controllers. This system is getting very popular because of its simplicity, price and intuitivism. Gameboard is a small keyboard for the players often equipped with the mini-joystick which can be operated with a thumb. The simplicity of the gameboard comes from its keyboard based button setting. It is a hybrid of a keyboard and a gamepad. Its little analog may be the biggest advantage. Some of the gameboards offer only the digital version of it (four or eight ways) or a simple d-pad. This setting implies the three axes being connected to the joystick and the gameboard for the strafing.
