KSP Joystick Reccomendations

[lazaruslong]

So I'm toying around with the idea of a joy stick for KSP. I'm looking for something around the $50 Dollar mark. I may be looking to spend more though based on one hang up. I like the idea of a separate throttle. it seems like it would be more comfortable and easier to control if it wasn't a tiny thrust button on the bottom of the joy stick. However for the $50 dollar price range, I'm only getting x-y control. Would I miss the other axis(es)? Am I making too big of a deal about a separate throttle console? Which ones do you guys use, what do you like about them and what do you wish you had?

I used to use a Logitech MX-518 mouse. I might again, if I can find the bloody screwdriver to fix it with.

As for joysticks - aren't the current view modes kinda inadequate for joysticks? How do people deal with that? (that might change with the new chase cam .. maybe)

As fate would have it, this very question came up just a little while ago. This thread might be helpful.
