Way to go Siggi - good for you for being able to admit you were wrong and apologize. That makes you a real man, I know cause I am a real man, and I am ALWAYS apologizing, mainly to my wife so she won't kick my arse. "I know I spend too much time on the computer, but Im SORRY honey and it won't happen again"
Now what you have to do is lose the wireless mouse, cause they are slower than wired mice. I use a logitech ifeel mouse (optical) and I understand MOH will support the force feedback. If you don't like the ff, you can always turn it off. Only $10 more for the ifeel than the regular optical logitech.
And get rid of joystick and use keyboard.
I ordered a Claw as keyboard substitute, but it sounds like you are left handed and I don't think it will work for you.
