If you're not used to using a joystick, now isn't the time to start. Modern joysticks typically come with a billion customization options that will take you forever to get used to, and when you need to run around on the ground you'll have a giant joystick cluttering up your desk (unless you have a big desk).

the X52 Saitek is a good, relatively cheap joystick with plenty of customization. I used it for a little while before sending it back because I just decided I didn't need a joystick.
