For occasional flights I'd recommend the T-Flight Hotas for $50. It occupies both of your hands, can be used as a compact unit or detached, has both twisty and rocker for rudder etc. Plus it has 12 buttons so you don't have to reach to your keyboard for every single action like adding up or down to your hat views. They seem to last quite a long time if you're gentle handed. Used one for years without issues, still use the throttle.
The T.16000M is more precise and has gained a good reputation among those who don't want massive street legal gear. Many of us Finns have been using them for several years. They also make a throttle for it, as a bundle they cost $110. Pedals are available too, but according to reviews they don't quite match the tabletop gear.
