We use this to control our crab/swerve drive... twist one way turn that way
twist the other way and turn the other way...
Just make sure and find one that will work with the present system.

I concur, a three-axis joystick with the z "rotational" axis being used to "throttle" would seem like an ideal method. The problem is that 3-axis joysticks are often made for industrial purposes, and tend to be pricey. A quick google search only yielded a few results for 3-axis USB joysticks.
