XBox 360 Controller
I use my 360 controller for all my flying and driving sims. My HD TV is my primary computer display, so I operate it from the couch with a wireless mouse and keyboard. Trying to setup and use a joystick, throttle, and rudder pedals from the couch just doesn't work (everything just wobbles and moves around).
You would have to try it to believe me, but the 360 controller is the best flight controller i've ever used (i've owned many other setups in the past). You get your joystick, throttle, and rudder pedals all in your hand at the same time with tons of buttons left over for HOTAS. The stick has incredible resolution and I am easily able to command all flight controls at the same time (I can hold a perfect hover with X-Plane's Hughes 500D with it and that's no easy task).
