This turns out to be a great joystick, and I got it for only $5 at geeks.com They no longer seem to carry it, but its not hard to find., and its a fairly comfortable joystick. Well, its great because it also has force feedback.
No current windows driver, but it works in linux, and actually works with the iforce module, I tested it in ubuntu 8.10 and it worked.
Correction, you can get the current windows drivers from AVB

Just follow the directions at

download the source code he refers to.
Type in ls /dev/input while the joystick is plugged in and then after disconnecting it. Figure out which event disappears. Use that event when calling
fftest /dev/input/event7
type numbers 1-5 for effects.
