USB shouldn't be a problem, as far as I know, but I wouldn't recommend using 
a joystick. That is better for flight sims, whereas the mouse is better for 
first-person shooters.

I would also recommend using a more up-to-date version of Quake (since it 
became open source years ago), such as FuhQuake, which is turning out to be 
probably the most dominant version:
