Joystick: Unless its an action game, forget it!

Mouse: Gets very annoying once you learn all the commands.

Keyboard: I'm playing U7 now with a mouse, and I yearn for the days
when Ultima was 100% keyboard... (It's alot easier and *faster* once 
you know all the keys compared to clicking and sliding that thing around
my desk)
