Thats the picture of the Saitek Cyborg showing the adjustable bits that swung it for me (the silver thumbscrews) they whole top button section can be moved left/right and up/down putting them in a more natural position, also the hand rest can be moved about a lot so your hand rests on it rather then having to grip the joystick to keep position. Thats the throttle on the back.

Anyway i still put my vote to mouse and K/B, just with higher sensitivity, this works for me. Best bet is to go down your local hardware shop and try a few out (unplugged) and just pick a good priced one that is comfortable.

You wont be disapointed with any of the branded Joysticks, and really its all down to individual needs (and price) i dont know the exchange rates so this might be silly money http://www.gpstore.co.nz/Hardware/1461056.html
