Old DOS Stick with a Kick!
I've always had a fondness for these joysticks from Microsoft. They are usually built well and the buttons last a long time.
The SW Force series is a great way to add a little more fun to your game. The Force Feedback is strong, but may degrade over time making used purchases a little risky, but I've bought 2 used recently off eBay (the USB Wheel and this old skool stick) and both while possibly not quite as strong as a NEW stick, it still throws my hand around in game play.
Be careful though, the power supply connectors can break loose as they often do, but even with a little wiggle I rarely have to re-seat the sockets. Buttons and the HAT sticks work great as well.
This buy came with a SW Sensor which was probably the FIRST joystick to offer tilt controls. I haven't played around with it yet and there is a disable switch on the pad, and probably because I've heard the tilt controls aren't that amazing. Either way, the pad feels good in your hands. The pad is a bit on the BIGGER side, smaller hands like my 5yo daughter had a little problems getting to all the buttons.
All in all, I don't think you can go wrong with just about any Microsoft Sidewinder pad from Microsoft.

Don't cheap out on a MIDI Controller
I bought this specifically to drive my MT-32 and CM-32L which I use for classic DOS gaming. Tried other MIDI controllers, but found out later the playback was desyncing at times. This controller fixed that. You may need a Female-Female MIDI coupler or two, but otherwise, this is a great product for PC/Mac - MIDI.
Note: I am using this on Windows 10, but the packaging only supports through Windows 8.1, so be forewarned.
