CH makes similar flightsticks I've seen a few teams using that have a hat and a couple buttons like the white joysticks, that don't appear to suck.

Other than that, I haven't really found much, try checking yard/garage sales in your area, its starting to become that season again, and you might find someone trying to unload ancient joysticks in with old computer equipment.

Of course, it doesnt really matter, since we're getting an entirely new control system (likely one that supports USB natively) for 2009.
