Hi Joseph, A two button mouse is all you will need. Also, full joystick and game pad control will be included, though there are several commands you will have to use the keyboard for, such as hitting f for fuel, s for speed and the like. The keyboard functions are mapped so a single hand will have access to all controls without having to move your hand. This will work for right or left handed folks. As to your question about being ejected from the game, I'm not exactly sure what you mean. The game captures the mouse completely, so you don't have to worry about accidentally clicking on another window if that was your question. Later, Che
