Well, the only joystick I've ever found really useable is the Komix Speedking.
(I think it's released under a few other names as well)

I've had two of these for a few years now, and the only problem encountered is
that one of them has started "sticking" on the diagonals  (though I'm willing
to bet a good clean would fix that).  This joystick is molded to fit in your
left hand and is TOTALLY microswitched.

Down side?  Ok, if your a left hander (as I am) the molded case isn't as good
to hold, and straight out of the box they are difficult to get diagonals on. 
However after a bit of "breaking in" this problem goes away.  Oh yeah, single
button and no autofire <sigh>.

Just my $0.02 worth ($0.016 if I remember the exchange rate :-)

	Dave.
