Hi Larry,
There are a number of possible joystick solutions in the 'Plugins section' here http://www.machsupport.com/forum/index.php/board,30.0.html
Just a word of warning:-
Because joysticks and hand-held controllers tend to be used much closer to the machine than the keyboard is normally used extra vigilance is required to ensure your personal safety.
There have been a number of cases reported where the data stream has been unexpectedly interrupted (such as accidentally pulling out the USB plug) and one or more of the machine axis has run away out of control. The lesson here is “take care and don’t get too close” when using these devices.
