I played the original flight sim with keyboard for like 6 years then I got a mouse and flying was soooooo much nicer that I begged my parents for a joystick.

That said, ch pro makes a cheap yolk and rudder set that is basically the defacto entry to flight sims. Otherwise a simple Logitech joystick is all you need. If anyone knows of force feed back yolks that don’t cost $10k, I am interested to find them (or start a kickstarter with a few folks to make it reality)
