Flightsticks or (wired) XBox 360 controllers are our go-tos. Both are immediately recognized as Joysticks by the computer and are therefore easily integrated into WPILib (can't comment on LabVIEW).

The XBox 360 controller is pretty high up there in terms of handheld controllers. I'm curious to see if the new console developers improve drastically upon controllers next year or keep them relatively the same.
