I personally use a now discontinued MS sidewinder 2.A little sloppy (ie too much give) with the stick but overall a decent joystick. You might be able to find one for cheap online. I'll eventually upgrade to a saitek x45 or x52(?) around Xmas. Heh I'll probably to geta new desk for it since they're a bit bigger than what I have now, but those sticks are nice.

I currently use a Saitek x45. The general impression of beta testers was if you are going to use a joystick, the Logitech and Saitek lines all work quite well.

Although if you have real money to burn the Hotas cougar pretty much beats anything else on the market.

What he said. I bought Saitek x45 and very happy with it.

I'm using a Saitek Cyborg EVO and it works fine, smooth and all, and not very expensive. It can be adjusted to fit your hand, and the only thing I don't like is the throttle position, which is somewhat unnatural. I'd have gone for a HOTAS, but due to lack of space I couldn't.

So, if you want to afford a HOTAS, then go for it, I heard people is really happy. For "normal" joysticks, the EVO is really good and works fine in game.
