I use a Saitek Cyborg Evo:

<http://www.saitekusa.com/USA/prod/cyborg_evo.htm>

It includes a twistable handle for the rudder, hat switch, and  
something like 12 buttons. Everything was programmable in X-Plane,  
and it works very well. I didn't want to spring for the full rudder  
pedal set, and this cost a lot less (and takes up much less room).  
Not bad for $30 (maybe less via Amazon, etc.).

I've used it on a Dual G5 and a new Mac Pro, and it's fine on both  
machines, so ignore the "Windows XP/XP64" system requirements.
