Or, you can splurge 20 more bucks and go for the Wingman 
Extreme, which has a hat switch like Thrustmaster, and has an 
excellent ergonomic feel, and it has 4 buttons.
I have had it for 4 months now, deathmatching in doom, descent, 
and TV, doing all the tight turns and curves, rough-housing it, 
and it's still in perfect condition.  I love it.

BTW, I also have a Gravis Gamepad, which is excellent for 
fighting games and action side scrollers. At only about 14 
bucks, its no big deal, so I would go for that one too.
