About gamepads 

For your comfort you can practice this test either with a real gamepad, or with the virtual on-screen gamepad, or with your keyboard. However, in order to get the best of your training we do recommend that you acquire a joystick in order to recreate in the most realistic manner the conditions you will face on exam day.
See this part of the FAQ regarding gamepad calibration.

More details 

At the exam, you will take this test with two joysticks and rudder pedals. The right joystick controls PFD, the left joystick (vertical axis) controls the speed. The rudder controls the ball. We invite you to acquire a rudder control such as a TFRP THRUSTMASTER and two joysticks in order to train in realistic conditions.
