Super Phoenix can be controlled by the keyboard, mouse, or any other InputSprocket device. The controls can be redefined by choosing Controls from the Settings menu. There are several default settings for the keyboard, including sets for left handed players and those with small keyboards.
My personal preference is the keyboard, although this makes turning accurately more difficult. You may wish to use a mouse (or joystick) to turn and the keyboard to thrust and slew.
