Question FPS controls - Y axis - inverted or normal?

Are you, like me, one of the people who has to work through the controls menu on every FPS and change the Y axis from normal to inverted?

My brain just doesnt seem to work up the normal way!

Must be from spending too many hours on combat flight sims as a kid

I have the y-axis normal for FPS and the like, but inverted for Flight stuff.

Having the Y-axis inverted for FPS's just messes with my brain - I know lots of people that do it though.

(by the way, on the 360 you can set your preferences in the dashboard for things like y-axis, so by default it inverts for all games.)

I always set the options to inverted, and for me that means to look down I push up on the right stick and to look up I push down, hence "inverted".

I wish they made a wireless mouse/special keyboard or pad combination for the 360 that worked with all these FPS games - movement/looking and aiming is so much easier and precise. ( I was a big PC player b4 my 360).

sigh
